Florida: Here Is Where You Can Get 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.

"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 Sonic 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.

Currently, there are 99 Sonic Drive In locations in Florida. This includes have multiple spots in major markets such as Tampa (3), Fort Myers (2), Orlando (2), and Jacksonville (6).

Do you want fries with that? Tasting Table recently published a list of restaurants with the best French Fries in the country and two New Florida establishments were named.

"From high-end steakhouses and neighborhood brasseries' to fast food restaurants and even grocery store freezer aisles, fried spuds can be found in just about every type of restaurant or shop across the country," Tasting Table explains. Their feature is specific to non-fast food restaurants.

French Fries are always a fan-favorite whether a side dish, an appetizer, or just a snack. They come in all shapes and sizes. Shoe strings crispy versions, thick-cut steak fries, seasoned curly fries, waffle fries, and even tater tots (are those considered fries, though?).

In a 2019 story published by the Daily Meal, they discussed unique facts on French Fries in America. Two of the most fascinating have to do with McDonald's. "Approximately 7 percent of the potatoes grown in the U.S. meet the same fate: they become McDonald's french fries," they said. They later stated that this fast food chain sells one-third of the French Fries consumed in the United States.

French Fries are like music. They are a common bond, and they are subjective. What one person prefers may be completely different from another. Better yet, both choices are correct.

For example, Best Things Florida released their list of best French Fries in the Sunshine State. It is completely different from Tasting Table's. However, Tasting Table went and explored all corners of the country to crown their French Fry kings.

The two restaurants in Florida that were recognized for having some of the best French Fries in the country serve two very different styles. One of them is part of a restaurant that has expanded to other markets. The other is served in a restaurant where fries compliment BBQ.

Located on 2727 Indian Creek Dr. in Miami Beach, Broken Shaker has fries that are so good, they even get their own line item on the menu. These are Shawarma Fries, served with Harissa ketchup. You can order them on their own or have the fries paired with any of their burgers or sandwiches. Although Broken Shaker does also have restaurants in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Madrid, their menus show a some different takes on their hand-cut fries in certain markets. For example, Los Angeles has Carne Asada fries. New York and Miami both have the Shawarma recipe.

"In terms of meaty all-American food pairings, french fries go just as well with barbecue as they do with burgers," Tasting Table exclaims. The Polite Pig is located in Disney Springs. They describe their menu by saying, "Our menu is inspired by the best seasonal food that Florida has to offer, bringing new twists to local flavors and BBQ." They serve waffle fries with a polite rub. They can be selected as a side to any dish or in a giant platter to accompany your catering order. In addition, sweet potato tots are on the menu as well.
