Buffalo Wild Wings Bacon Patty Melt

High histamine

This patty melt is high, mainly from the cured bacon and the brioche toast.

Most of this is cooked to order, which is the best case for histamine. Even so, a restaurant kitchen preps ahead and holds things warm through a service, so freshness varies more than it would at home. The rating above comes from the chain's published ingredients. If a dish is borderline for you, asking how it is prepared tells you more than the menu does.

Dairy Gluten

Two patties with Swiss and American cheese, bacon, grilled onions, and bacon aioli on brioche toast make a rich melt that lands high.

  • Bacon — it is cured, which builds histamine, and it shows up both in the strips and in the aioli, so it carries most of the weight here.

  • Brioche toast — this enriched bread is moderate, adding to the total, while the patty, grilled onions, and cheeses are milder.

Skipping the bacon and the aioli takes a good chunk of the histamine out of this one.
