Bacon & Cheese

    The Wimpy with two rashers of streaky bacon and a slice of cheese. It keeps the relish, gherkins and grilled onions, so it still tastes like Wimpy rather than like a generic bacon cheeseburger. Salty, tangy and a reliable middle choice.

    Edward Gold opened the first Wimpy Grills in Bloomington, Indiana, in 1934, naming it after J. Wellington Wimpy, the Popeye character who would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. In 1954 the British caterer J. Lyons licensed the name, and Wimpy Bars spread across the UK, giving many Britons an early taste of the American hamburger, served at the table.

    More than 450 restaurants in South Africa, around 60 in the United Kingdom, and a few across Africa and the Middle East.
