Hell yeah, that's what I get when I get Wendy's. Asiago Ranch with spicy chicken.

I love Wendy's fries. They actually taste like there's a potato in there and if they get cold they aren't as gross as other places fries. My only complaint is that they either don't salt them enough or salt them way too drat much.

McDonald's fries are the best, but goddamn if they even get a little cold they are inedible.

Yeah, at the local Wendy's it's 1.59 for the crispy chicken, and 5 bucks-ish for the spicy one, plus a buck if it's a combo.

C'mon man, you're comparing the equivalent of a McChicken to an actual decent quality chicken sandwich.

When I'm not getting a burger (the trick is you have to get a double, otherwise the beef gets overwhelmed because they're not shy with the condiments) the Asiago Ranch with a spicy patty is my go-to.

I feel like GrubHub is a bit much for fast food in general. But at the same time I understand the intersection between craving and inability to drive sober.

Now that they use fresh beef I think the McD quarter pounder is actually a better burger than Wendy's, which is kind of sad. Wendy's isn't dry exactly, but it's a weird kind of... moist?... instead of juicy-greasy like you want.

I swear Wendy's used to have better burger meat back in the day. :corsair:

They absolutely did. My father has been low-key ranting about this for years, and he's worked in kitchens/the restaurant industry since before I was born so I trust his judgment. Among other things, they've gotten saltier.

I can honestly say I've never gotten beef at Wendy's. It's all about the spicy chicken sandwich or the spicy chicken nuggets with a frosty.

That said, the fuckers didn't give me my frosty last week and they absolutely gave me a plain chicken patty on my asiago ranch sandwich despite me checking the spicy box.

Delivery has a downside. I can get a few dollars back if I bitch, but who can give me back the excitement of knowing I had a frosty and a spicy sandwich on the way instead of pure disappointment???

Yeah for real. I just had it maybe 2 months ago after not having it for years and I was impressed. I wasn't expecting much but it's definitely better than something out of a can.

The only use I've found for canned chili is to throw on hot dogs with lots of onions, cheese and mustard so it can just be a background player.

The spicy chili sauce has high fructose corn syrup as an ingredient and yet it is spicy this makes no sense

I couldn't figure out what changed about Wendy's burgers until I was in the app today and it hit me: they changed burgers to default to no mustard. This apparently happened back in like 2011, same time as they hosed up the onions.

Ordered with mustard added today and was very happy with my burgs.

Fuuuuck I didn’t even think about the mustard. When I’m cooking burgers at home I spend more time thinking about mustard than the beef sometimes!


I really want one of those spicy chicken sandwiches right now though. gently caress, why doesn’t the Wendy’s near me do doordash!

It is very weird how many places just don't do mustard as a default condiment. I think Freddy's is the only chain that does mustard and not ketchup.

Sonic's has that weird thing where you can get Mustard or Mayo on its burgers.

Also most places that do mustard absolutely slather it on. To the point of being borderline unpalatable.

I haven't had Wendy's in months because the app just doesn't work with my local franchise. It used to, but orders just won't go through. It's like they flipped a switch.

Yeah, the menu straight up says "With your choice of mayo or mustard". I'm sure you could get both if you wanted, but I don't know if there'd be an upcharge because that would require me to try eating one of their burgers a second time.

Mediocre is aspirational for Sonic burgers, they're too underwhelming to even be truly awful.

I think this is a regional thing, basically nobody in New York defaults to mustard on burgers.

(Which is in line with my own preference, but then, native new yorker, I grew up with 'mustard on burgers is weird.')

Last time I went to a Wendy’s I asked for a fried spicy chicken sandwich with a baked potato and Diet Coke. I got a plain grilled chicken sandwich, fries, and a regular coke. The only way they could have been less correct would have been to give me a pizza from the place next door.

Two weeks later the restaurant burned down.

I’m pretty sure the two events were unrelated.

I actually think the next level of wrongness up would be a baked chicken breast, scalloped potatoes, and an eight-ball of coke.

The actual burgers at Wendy's aren't very good. Their real strength is spicy chicken based things. Spicy sandwiches, spicy nugs, etc.

I vaguely remember liking their burgers more way back when Dave was still doing commercials. But that could just be nostalgia talking.

I love a Wendy's burg but you're on to something here. You have to go with one of the bacon burgs and add mustard to really make that sandwhich sing.

Wendy's offering a free baconator when you buy a can of baconator pringles and order with the mobile app. I am not above doing this.



code is on the foil under the lid.

the chips are completely poo poo btw. completely overwhelming smoke taste with only the vaguest of beef and ketchup notes. 2/10, absolute garbage. still, it amounts to a discount baconator.

Agreed, the chips are bad. It is on the line of "maybe I should just throw this away" and "don't waste food" for me.
