This topping-heavy bacon cheeseburger is inspired by an episode of the Nerd Lunch podcast in which Jess from BurgerMary.com was the guest. After listening to a discussion on being limited to five burger toppings for the rest of time, Nick Chipman decided to create the burger himself and wrote about it for DudeFoods. However, he did not merely stick to the five conclusive toppings, but also included the others up for debate.
Therefore, the bacon cheeseburger has more than just American cheese, hatch green chilies, a fried egg, peanut mutter and yellow mustard. It also has beetroot, blue cheese, cream cheese, goat cheese, swiss cheese, french fries, bacon fat-sauteed mushrooms and battered onion rings, not to mention extra patties and buns and things.
