We don't know who exactly invented the meat upon meat goodness that is the bacon burger. We do know, however, that Southern California chain Slater 50/50 is the first high-profile burger joint to take responsibility for a burger that has a 100 percent ground bacon patty.

Would you believe that there are some people out there who actually court these kinds of digestive disasters?
While the all-out worship of bacon went out of style around 2010, the cured meat still remains an internet favorite.
