I'm also not a fan of bacon. I love most other pork, but bacon just doesn't do it for me. Too often it's either undercooked or overcooked, and it just doesn't have the texture good meat should have.

If you don't like bacon, you've probably never had good bacon properly cooked.

Because of the high fat content there is a science behind cooking bacon. High quality bacon cooked using the scientific method produces phenomenal flavor, wonderful texture/consistency.

As for a fast food burger - it definitely deserves i'd say a B+

Lick's, would get an A+

Very rightly so, but since most bacon you come across in is in fast food restaurants, you never really get to taste properly cooked bacon. As such, I don't like bacon, and avoid ordering any items with bacon in them.

As far as franchise restaurants go Licks and Hero would be the only two worth mentioning for "good" burgers.

And even so there are many other places to get even better "quick" ("fast") burgers...

Dangerous Dans (Queen East)
Burger Shack (Oriole Parkway)
Golden Star Restaurant (Yonge)
Allen's (Danforth)

That's pretty close to me, I'll have to check it out before I move.

As for the topic: ketchup on bacon is ridiculous. You should never need to add ketchup to any meat unless it's bad quality or overcooked. The only exception I make is hot dogs, which aren't that great in quality to begin with (sausages are different - no ketchup on those).

I do like the maple smoked bacon/sausages. But I wouldn't actually toss maple syrup on them either.

It's bizarre the way some people slather ketchup on everything from grilled cheese to pasta to steak. I think it's actually because of the sugar content of mass-produced ketchup - some people still have the palates of 9-year-olds and won't eat anything unless it's sickly sweet.
