"It's tough to improve upon the boss of all burgers – the Big Buford® – but we've done it with the Garlic & Butter Bacon Buford," said Frances Allen, President & CEO of Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. "Our culinary team put in the work to get the right balance of flavors with this enormous burger, starting with an indulgent, whipped butter and savory garlic parmesan sauce spread directly on the bun itself, then topping it all off with crispy bacon strips and all the fixings. This is the kind of big, bold flavor our guests love and expect from Checkers & Rally's."

The Garlic & Butter Bacon Buford pairs perfectly with Checkers & Rally's Famous Seasoned Fries – recently named the #1 Most Craveable Fries in America* – as well as the brand's Fry-Seasoned Monsterella Stix.
