Remembrance: The Cheesy Bacon Tendercrisp

I wanted to take a moment, take off my hat and give a moment of silence to quite possibly the greatest fast-food sandwich ever. The cheesy bacon tendercrisp from Burger King. I'm struck today by what was lost because, in an effort to have it my way, I went to BK and got a #6, king size with cheese. And while the standard tendercrisp is quite delicious, it pales in comparison to the cheesy bacon tendercrisp of lore. For those of you who are unfortunate enough to have never gazed at the beauty and tasted the delictibalness of the CBT, I silently weep for you and yet envy your ignorance. To achieve CBT greatness, it takes 3, yes 3, kinds of cheese. American, peperjack and a delicious cheesy sauce. 3 slices of bacon (if memory serves) and then the normal tendercrisp fixin (lettuce, tomato, etc). It was so good that I would eat the lettuce that fell off the sandwich just beccuase it had cheesy sauce on it. Yeah, it's that good. Once, I ate 3 in one day. That was a glorious day. The great thing about it was that unlike most megaburgers, you didn't want to die after gorging. It was perfect. Oh well, better to have loved and lost than never loved at all.

There's a wiki, for those that are interested in the history of the tendercrisp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TenderCrisp

There's also a petition to try to bring it back: http://www.petitiononline.com/a17648/petition.html
