A new made to crave is definitely Wendy’s Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger.

Forget the spicy chicken  debate, the new Wendy’s Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger is joining Wendy’s menu and it is definitely made to crave. Whether you love a great pretzel bun, extra bacon or just a pub-like cheeseburger, this indulgent Wendy’s menu item is a must try.

While some people love a Biggie Bag or just grab a Frosty as a mid-afternoon treat, sometimes a heartier appetite needs to be satisfied. Although some people might grab a couple singles or even might enjoy a Four for Four meal, enjoying one, over the top burger can be the best choice for a meal.

The new Wendy’s Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger is a huge bite. Served on a pretzel bun, the quarter pound cheeseburger is covered in “Munster cheese, three strips of applewood smoked bacon, smokey honey mustard, a warm beer cheese sauce, crispy fried onions and pickles.” Yes, it is really that big of a bite.

If you had been watching Wendy’s infamous social media accounts, you might have seen a few hints about the new Wendy’s menu item. Everyone guessed that a pretzel bun was making its triumphant return.

Recently, I had an opportunity to try the new Wendy’s Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger. It is definitely a big bite. More importantly, the combination of flavors is on point.

While the Munster cheese is a nice change, the star is the warm beer cheese sauce. The flavor is rich yet nuanced. Combined with the honey mustard, it is rich and tangy. In a way, it is like combining two classic pretzel dipping sauces. Those sauces help to balance the richness of the bacon and fried onions.

The most interesting part of this cheeseburger is the pickle. That punch of brightness cuts through the bacon and lightens up all the flavors. When you get a taste of the pickle, it leaves wanting more.

If you want to get a taste of the new Wendy’s Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger, everyone can get a free one via Postmates. From September 4 through September 7, orders of $15 made via Postmates will receive a free cheeseburger. Use the code PRETZEL at checkout.

The Wendy’s Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger is $5.69. You could get a combo meal, but you might not finish that big order of fries. At the same time, you might want to order two burgers. Even though it is a big bite, you will want to enjoy another one (maybe for lunch and dinner).

Are you excited for the new Wendy’s Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger? What is your favorite Wendy’s menu item?
