Baconfest at Slater's 50/50

So you may be wondering, "Where's the bacon?" It's at Slater's 50/50, the best place to get a bacon burger on the west coast. Located in Anaheim, California, this rivals Disneyland as the happiest place on earth.


Every part of this burger is amazing. The brioche bun is fluffy like a cloud and so light you barely know it's there. You get to build your own burger so you put exactly what you want on it. I order my burger with bacon (of course), brie, caramelized onions, and lettuce. You haven't heard the best part yet. The burger patty is 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon. If you get the 50/50 patty, it has to cooked well done because of the pork, but looks pink inside still. It doesn't scream bacon, but has a hint of bacon and is super juicy. It is, hands down, the best burger I've ever had.

The Baconfest doesn't end with the burger.


Yes, this is a bacon (and maple) milkshake. If you are thinking "grossss!" then you are so wrong! Although it might not be for everyone, it's far from bad. It's sweet and salty, and reminds me of pancakes with maple syrup and bacon. You must have one of these to accompany your bacon burger. There is also a bacon brownie on the menu; skip it. It's just a brownie with bacon on top and it's not that great.
