I've always liked Wendy's hamburgers - much better
than McDonald's or Burger King. Now I maybe get
about 1 a year - I don't eat fast food all that
often. So, I'm watching all these commercials
for the lastest Wendy's specialty sandwich and thought
it looked good. Decided to swing by there on Sat.
and pick one up for dinner. What a huge (although
not unanticipated - I am a realist when it comes
to taking ad hype with a grain of salt) disappointment.
Besides the sandwich not being put together neatly -
all the toppings were of to one side (I hate when that
happens, which if pretty darn often at most fast
food places), there was almost no sauce to speak of,
and the hamburger was dry, and they put pickles on
it which was not mentioned in the description (the only
time I eat pickles on any kind of sandwich is when I
get a regular Wendy's bacon cheeseburger with
everything). Blecch! Well, I guess I won't be
patronizing Wendy's again any time soon.

Here's what's really funny - normally I totally detest
everything at McDonald's except for their breakfast
sandwiches and then I only eat the sausage biscuit
with egg. But one day I had missed the breakfast cut-off
at McDonald's and decided to try one of the new chicken
salads. I got the bacon ranch salad with the crispy
chicken. It's really good! Surprised the hell out of
me. And then even more surprisingly I went to Wendy's
a few weeks later and tried one of their chicken salads
and it was horrid. Can't believe I got something at
McDonald's that was better than Wendy's. Of course,
now, with my latest Wendy's disappointment I beginning
to wonder if they are declining in quality in general.
Too bad.
