Wendy's,

I have not had it in years. But I stopped by a few weeks ago just to try it out. Thinking it had gotten better. That was a mistake. After a few bites of the burger I threw it out. Fu***** gross!!

Really? I'm not a fan of burgers in general but generally Wendy's isn't too bad unless you get a poorly made one.

Obviously it depends on who is making the food. But I will not be going back.

Sorry to hear that, but if you don't like it, you don't like it.

Yeah,

I am going to stick with the local places. More expensive but a lot better.

Nobody makes a good whale burger anymore.

I used to be a big fan of Wendy's, but something has changed in the flavor of their meat... it's like chronically underseasoned, almost flavorless. I feel like I get Wendy's and I'm just eating a topping burger with a protein patty.

Love their chicken sandwiches though, and the food almost always at least appears to be good quality compared to other chain joints: fresh toppings, hot off the grill meat, fresh fries, etc... I just wish they'd figure out the flavor problem with their beef.

And as far as meat flavor goes, Burger King is the best of the big three. If you don't mind greasy facilities, and a chance that it's been sitting around all day. A freshly made BK burger is the best fast food can offer.

Wendy's hamburgers are absolutely tasteless.   They taste like they are soaked in water to get every bit of flavor out of them.

I got a Baconator from them a couple of months ago.  Never again.  Their fries are tasteless too.

I think it does depend on who makes the food.  Obviously these places do not have any uniform way of doing things.

So if you get someone making your burger who doesn't like a lot of salt or ketchup, that;s what you'll get too - a dry and tasteless burger.

I was just out doing some stuff and it was close by. Thats why I stopped there. I will just pay the extra money for some thing from local joints. They are fantastic!

But even in the local place we have, it depends on who is cooking that night.

I love it when the guy that loves bacon makes my double bacon cheeseburger.  He piles on the bacon!

Love a good burger?  If you're in Tahoe, go to Izzy's Burger Spa...

Nice. I never think about who is cooking it. It is only one guy. A place just down the road. Killer burgers and fries.

That looks delicious.

Do they actually look like that or is this just a public relations photo designed to ensnare the innocent into the establishment?

I almost always get a salad at Wendy's. Every once in a while I'll get the Baconator but that's it. I do love their Apple pecan chicken salad

That Apple Pecan Chicken Salad sounds very good.  How much do you get?  Enough to fill you up?

Dicks...no, I don't think so.  Dicks is about going back in time...and eating on the cheap.  Still love it, though!
