Massachusetts: Where To Get A Peanut Butter Bacon Cheeseburger
It’s the headline you didn’t know you needed. Chances are you have had one of those days where you just can’t decide if you want to keep it simple for lunch with a PB and J or indulge in a juicy burger. Well, Sonic has solved all your problems by putting the two together and delivering a peanut butter bacon cheeseburger.
Let’s get right to the good stuff. This unique pairing consists of “a double cheeseburger with two 100% pure beef patties layered with creamy peanut butter, crispy bacon, grilled onions and melty cheese on a toasted bakery bun,” Sonic states in a press release. And that’s not all. There’s a companion to this sensation. Sonic has also introduced a peanut butter bacon shake. This is the perfect mix of peanut butter, crunchy bacon, and soft-serve vanilla ice cream. Then, you top it with whipped cream and add on a cherry.
But Why?
“Peanut butter and bacon is not a combination you’d expect on a cheeseburger and you definitely wouldn’t think to combine these flavors into a shake, but at Sonic, we ignore what everyone else considers normal to deliver innovation that’ll make guests shout, ‘Hell yeah, Sonic,’” said Mackenzie Gibson, Vice President of Culinary & Menu Innovation at Sonic.
Mission accomplished. However, this is not the first creative flavor explosion S0nic has introduced to the world. Previously, a pickle juice slush was available for a limited time. The same holds true for these items. Both the Peanut Butter Bacon cheeseburger and peanut butter bacon shake will be offered for a limited time only. This special is currently scheduled to be on the menu through February 4. The burger starts at $6.39 at participating restaurants. The medium shake starts at $3,99.

3 New England Restaurants Ranked For Having Best Breakfast Sandwiches
As a father of four, my mornings are always a bit hectic. I enjoy being an early bird; however, I rarely have the time to prep a good breakfast. Therefore, I was quite thrilled to see that Tasting Table recognized three New England restaurants for having the best breakfast sandwiches in the country. I’m always looking for a good quick breakfast.
A morning in my world usually consists of a sunrise workout, followed by a scramble to get myself and the kids out of the house. Then I embark on an hour-long drive to the office. On the weekends, it’s taking one of my kids to their sports game. Let’s focus on the latter for a moment.
While I am more lenient on my breakfast choice (a banana or shake will do), I insist upon a healthy start for the little guys. Driving them all around New England on weekends requires a few drive-thru meals that you eat in the car. My preference is for the kids to have something substantial, with a protein they enjoy. A breakfast sandwich is often the choice.
The perfect breakfast sandwich should follow three simple rules. It’s quick, both to order and make. It’s fresh (not a microwaved egg slab pulled out of plastic). Finally, it’s a balanced hand-held item that is not too heavy, processed or sugar-filled.
When trekking through interstates and unfamiliar towns at sunrise, it’s easy to settle upon the quickest Dunkin’ Donuts. Now, there are some other options that you (and I) should know about. These three New England restaurants ranking among the best breakfast sandwiches in the country.
Before we get into the list, it is necessary to give one other shout-out. The Portland, Oregon establishment named by Tasting Table has both the best restaurant and sandwich name. The “Yolko Ono” by Fried Egg I’m In Love.
