Gave it a try. Fast food through and through. Good burger for sure. Actually really good.

The place just opened so it was busy, but the food was still really good.

If you give it a try, you'll love it.

It's really far out of the city. Down in Orland Park. It was worth the trip.

This is a classic. Turns out it is not so bad for you either. Well. As far as Fast Food goes.

I tend to get this more than one should. The 1/2 lb. Double with Cheese is the bane of the diet that I am trying to stay true too. There have been times when, crying, I have gotten one of these. The best way to order one is without any veggies, and this is because the veggies at almost all Wendy's is way gross. I am all for a good amount of lettuce on a burger, but not if it is yellow and brown and you could swear it just moved.

As far as taste goes this burger is tops. I would rather get this burger than most other places. 100% for sure. I am just a fan of this for some reason. I am signing the praises a bit much, but I have strong love for it.

Strong love.

Like all fast food places you can get a bad one on a bad day, but most days they rock.

Just stay away from Wendy's fries. Lucky for me there is a Burger King right next to it. Burger King Fries, and a 1/2 lb. Double with Cheese from Wendy's. Awesome meal.

Chilis' Smokehouse Bacon Triple-The-Cheese Big Mouth Burger

A lunch at Chilis was in order. It seems Amanda and I had been in the mood for this for a long while. Being that we are on a diet that we are only sort of good at, we take every Friday off. On this particular Friday I decided I wanted to eat something really bad for me. Something that that would continue to fill me with regret a full two days later.

I do not regret because of any sort of physical pain, but rather I know what this thing did to me. The Smokehouse Bacon Triple The Cheese Big Mouth Burger is all of those things. The name is spot on.

Our experience was for the most part pleasant. Like always I drank way to much water before our food ever came, and our Queso(Another 1070 Calories), although shared, did fill me up pretty well. When our food did come I noticed that I was in for a hard time. I remarked that it had much more cheese than I thought I would be dealing with. I guess Triple The Cheese means that they take huge quarter inch sliced of cheese and then triple that.

Also. Damn it. I asked for not Onions. What is so hard about that?

I found myself pulling large portions of cheese off of this burger as I was attempting to eat it. I did this twice. Both pieces were more then enough for one burger. Coming with that cheese was grease. Look at that picture. Do you see the red/orange grease? It is from the cheese.

Needless to say, I did not finish it. I got real close to eating it all, but as I went on I was getting sick. Actually sick. At the beginning of this story I mentioned how I regret eating this burger. I do regret eating this burger, and the reason is that I felt so sick immediately after eating it that I came close to losing every bit of it. In the parking lot of Chilis. In the car. In Target. We are talking at least two hours of nausea.

Here is my advice to you. Get another burger that is similar to this one. You do not need the amount of cheese that you get. You don't want the amount of cheese you get. Also they give you onions even if you ask them not to, and this is not cool.
