Make your food less shitty for a start
Never really had a problem with wendys food tbh. Beats the shit out of burger king, but I'm not sure burger king even qualifies as "food" and not salted cardboard.
While you're not wrong, they have cheapened up quite a bit
True. I have fond memories of the spicy chicken sandwich, and they are thinner than they used to be. Still just as juicy though when its a fresh one
The bacon has changed too:(
You got salt?!
these carboard have very little meat in it, probably repurposed bk bags.
Of all the fast foods it's my favorite :(
It's been a minute since I've eaten there (~2 years), but I remember their fries being terrible unless you got them fresh.
That being said their spicy chicken sandwich has been a favorite and the baconator is good.
Sometimes you just need to go full American and eat a baconator. 乁( •_• )ㄏ
Nah, thanks though
Thing is, those are surprisingly easy to make at home. And with how expensive fast food has become, that is something I have been doing more and more.
I don't get how any fast food chains are not closing locations. My wife and I stopped being able to afford to go when inflation first hit and honestly if we have the money and feel like it the price for real food at real restaurants is not very much more.
It's hard to find real restaurants that don't buy their stuff frozen from the same source as a restaurant on the other side of the US.
not in a metro area. I mean we still have crappy restaurants like that but I would say they are in the minority. Heck most any gyro and taquería place uses fresh along with the non chain pizza places and asian and italian.
