When The Works first introduced its Reese PBC burger, stuffed with peanut butter cups, and topped with bacon, onion rings and chocolate, I knew it was only a matter of time before it made a meeting with my mouth. Mind you, the National Post gave it a collective thumbs-down, and Jimmy Fallon called it “a wrong way to eat a Reece’s,” which briefly made me reconsider if I wanted to eat one…so I ended up eating two:
Make that two patties, anyways. The server was initially unsure what to charge me, as this was an unprecedented first in Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Burger history—no one had ever doubled down on the RPC Burger and lived to tell the tale.
