Tucson Foodie’s “Monday Munchies” articles are brought to you by NatureMed.
It’s Monday. To some, it’s the most dreadful day of the week and to others, it’s just another day. Now, on Monday Munchies, we typically highlight a menu item that’s available to devour on Monday but this one is too good to pass up.
Over at Thunder Bacon Burger Co., the restaurant is closed on Mondays but the burgers are massive and tasty enough to enjoy any other day of the week. The particular beast we’re talking about today is the 420 Burger.
Here’s a scenario: Plan a visit to Nature Med beforehand, gather up an appetite, and then roll into Thunder Bacon Burger Co. for a dose of double bacon, cream cheese, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, and Thunder Sauce that’s all topped on two chorizo burger patties.
Add some tater tots to the mix and it’ll be the cherry on top, the frosting on the cake, and any other clever phrase you come up with to describe your experience.
If you’re reading this on Monday and your cravings are making themselves known, take a gander at some of our past Monday Munchies features. One of these oughta hold you over until you visit Thunder Bacon Burger Co. on Tuesday (or any other day besides Monday).

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
