For those who think that hamburger buns are just a distraction from the juicy patty in the middle, Wendy's new Wild Rock Burger is the perfect dish. Swapping bread for two extra helpings of beef, the new burger is a carnivore's dream sandwich.
The Wild Rock Burger is an exclusive new item available from Wendy’s Japan. Unlike other burgers on the menu, the new dish doesn't feature hamburger buns of any kind. Instead, the sandwich boasts a pair of square beef patties for a low-carb, high-protein option. In between the two servings of meat sit tomato, lettuce, bacon and an egg slathered with tartar sauce. The result is a meaty new option that features 85 percent less carbs than a standard burger.
Reminiscent of the infamous KFC Double Down sandwich, the new burger is ideal for meat lovers.
