I like the Wendys chili and I like the spicy chicken sangwich, but their burgers have always been a bit lame.

You want me to buy a burger? Start with a fat patty and use a kaiser roll. Somthing that you can mound lots of nice toppings on without it falling apart.

Perhaps getting the order right the first time would be in order as well.

I used to love Wendy’s burgers - a double with mustard, pickle and onion only. They were served hot and the meat was juicy. I liked the fries too. For dietary reasons I quit eating fast food for several years but not long ago I ordered a Wendy’s burger out of nostalgia. It was awful! The servers were hostile and surly, the meat was dry and overcooked, they put just a tiny dab of mustard on, 1 pickle slice and no onions I could find. When I asked for more they angrily slapped on a little more mustard and another pickle slice. I threw the inedible burger in the trash and am never going back. The new owners have a people problem, not a food problem.

Color me stupid, but I still don’t understand what’s happening here.

Is this truly a wholesale change, or just another item? The wording is confusing to me.

a thicker beef patty

Increasing it to more than 20lb? I wonder how much they pay per ream?

I worked at Wendy’s back in my post high school years and I LOVED the food. I knew it was made well and that the chili was just yesterdays over cooked meat mashed up and given spices.

I would eat 2 jr bacons every day if I knew it wouldn’t make me die at 40.... Mmmmmmm Bacon.

Burgers changed after the E. Coli outbreak in So Cal. It started at several Jack-n-the-box’s and resulted in a few deaths. Think that was around 1979-80. Ever since then the major fast food places overcook them.

Back when Wendy’s had a salad bar...the local place had a sign over the stack of plates at the bar reading
“Clean Plates Upon Request”.

I now only get the Frosty....

Did they get Michelle Obama's seal of approval? /s

They've changed to full fat mayo, no mustard, same tomatoes and ketchup, special FDA-approved warmer-stored cheese, buttered-and-toasted buns, same iceberg lettuce, same fat ratio beef but wavy edges to the squares look less processed.

I think I'll stick to In & Out.

I don’t know what they do but Wendy’s burgers really taste a bit like liver to me. They really need to do something about the meat.

Wendy’s is the slowest fast food joint on the planet. They will not take another person’s order until the previous one’s order is complete.
