I’ve loved Wendy’s. But then, there is little fast food I don’t like.
If their pickles are as I recently saw at my parents’ neighborhood 1 the other week (”crinkled”), then forget it. I hate those pickles - they’re those gross “bread&butter” or whatever pickles, instead of a proper genuine dill.
In the past they’ve had “healthy” lettuce on it, too, which I don’t like. Sorry, I’m all for iceberg. I really don’t care how “healthy” it is, Moosechelle.
I like leaf lettuce, it has more flavor, but put some Tomato and red onions under that so the damn stuff doesn’t wilt when it hits the hot beef.
And Honestly, how hard is it to make sure that the tomatoes are ripe?
Yep, they screwed up royally with the sweet pickles, and they gave the bun an odd butter flavor too. It amazes me because the Wendy burger was a classic design and flat out delicious when well executed. I’m thinking that Wendys corporate must have gotten hold of the same consultant that came up with the BK burger at Krystals a few years back. It was exactly the same, and lame for the same reasons. It’s like the sweet pickle, buttered bun, fancy lettuce, red onions thing is some guy’s vision of how a burger should be. He apparently has excellent Power Point chops because he’s been able to sell it to two big chains. Dave Thomas probably would have thrown him out on his ear.
You can crinkle cut any pickle, even a proper dill. Just cause they crinkle cut it, doesn’t mean that it’s a bread & butter type. Which I also hate.
