Beef Patties
The Big Bacon Classic Triple contains three beef patties made from fresh ground beef and seasoned with sea salt. The triple-patty structure dramatically increases protein, fat, and calorie content compared to the Single and Double versions. Using fresh beef helps maintain moisture and structure despite the larger stack.
Applewood Smoked Bacon
Applewood smoked bacon is layered between the patties to add a smoky, salty flavor profile. The bacon contributes crisp texture and strong aroma, intensifying the overall richness of the sandwich and distinguishing it from non-bacon triple burgers.
Premium Bun
The burger is served on a toasted premium bun made from enriched wheat flour with sesame flour and wheat gluten. Toasting is essential for this item, as the bun must support the combined weight and moisture of three patties, bacon, cheese, and sauces without breaking apart.
Cheese
American cheese slices are included to provide creaminess and balance. With such a large amount of beef, the cheese helps soften the bite and prevents the sandwich from feeling dry or overly dense while adding mild saltiness.
Vegetables
Lettuce, tomato, sweet onion, and crinkle-cut pickles add contrast to the heavy meat base. These vegetables contribute freshness, crunch, and acidity, helping offset the richness of the beef, bacon, and cheese.
Sauces and Condiments
Mayonnaise and ketchup are used as the primary condiments. Mayonnaise adds fat and smooth texture, while ketchup introduces sweetness and acidity. Together, they help balance the saltiness of the bacon and beef.
