/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>5023704
crap, what do I post"? recipes I guess.

>>5023708

>>5023712

Why are your buns a yellow color? And how come your fish sandwich is so awful?

I do enjoy the single patty burger once in a while, though.

>>5023704
>>5023704
Why is your crispy chicken sandwich so godlike

>>5023720
Food coloring, and because its blend of shitty whitefish.

The beef is pretty good though. Dave was against gmo, so we still get grass fed beef thats not shit.

>>5023721
do you mean the homestyle or the dollar crispy? I think the dollar sandwich is very meh, but a lot of people say they really like the breading on them which has a blend of spices, salt and pepper in it.

>>5023723
Dollar crispy

>>5023724
ging to say the breading then, and also: simplicity. the flavors are simple and not overly complicated.

i like wendy's, but they always seem twice as expensive as other places. like one of their cheeseburgers is $4-5.

>>5023704
Do the cooks actually ever spit in the food

>>5023704
no real questions just
you know the pretzel bun
10/10

Why is the spicy chicken sandwich not actually spicy?

>>5023731
true story. nor arguments from me, but I think the JBC is actually a pretty solid deal. also protip: you can get lettuce, tomato, onion or pickle, or most any other condiment, added to any sandwich free. the only exceptions are cheese and bacon.

>>5023733
I would kick the shit out of a cook for that, and make sure he never worked in the food service industry again. I have a proactive approach to dealing with shitty customers though. I just ban them from the store.

>>5023734
I think its one of the few newer things that have been really well recieved and is actually good. the Brioche bun is a nightmare.

Is there anything not specifically listen on the menu that you wish people knew about. Such as requesting a certain sauce or special burger

>>5023741
because teh only spice on it is the breading, and if you are a person who likes to eat a lot of spicy and hot food, its going to seem bland.

>>5023748
well for starters we still have the cheesey cheddar burger, we just dont market it a lot.

the moonlight deal is killer. 5 bucks gets you a double stack, a large fry or a chilli cheese fry, and a large soda.

also: something no one in my market seems to know: you can sub a frosty out for a drink on a value meal, and you can get any of our sides as part of a combo. maybe thats unique to my region ((the ignorance) but it seems no on here knows that.

>>5023755
how likely is it that if I asked someone to put a fried egg on a burger they would do it

>>5023764
If they have breakfast, they probably will. with little complaint.

>>5023741
they'd probably get sued if someone actually received an unpleasant sensation from one of their products
thank that asshole that burned himself on hot coffee from mcdonald's

Why are the baked potatoes so fucking terrible and rock hard?
Why does Wendy's even have baked potatoes on their menu?

>>5023734
>prezel bun
every time I hear that I still think of

okay OP, so lets say you're grabbing a quick lunch at wendy's, what do you order?

>>5023704
why does wendys have such little vegetarian, let alone vegan food?

>>5023799
because nobody gives a fuck about vegans douchelord

>>5023777
I dunno what wendy's you've been goin to but the baked potatoes from the one in Cromwell, CT have all been just fine for me. My favorite wendy's menu item by far. get one put some sour cream and butter on it then dump over a small chili. cheap, filling, and not even too bad for you! they could eliminate all their burgers and I would still be just fine.

>>5023846
you dont get it do you goy?

it's not about having food for them because you like them or anything but because you can make lots of money off of them and their food is usually heavy marked up.

Wendy's Frosty is the best. But for some reason they give me severe stomach cramps. I love those things but I just can't endure the pain. McDonalds, Burger King, Steak and Shake plus everywhere else never gives me problems - only Wendy's. That sucks so bad. There has to be a unique ingredient causing this.

God, what's up with Wendy's value menu suddenly sucking? It used to be the best. Jr. Bacon, Jr Deluxe, chicken wrap, all that good stuff. Last week I drove by and the ONLY item that was 99c was just the regular Jr Cheeseburger. wtf guys.

>>5023857
Everyday for months I would go to Wendy's with $2 and get 2 Texas double cheeseburgers. Two patties, cheese, lettuce and a thick slice of tomato - all for a dollar. It was good while it lasted.

>>5023771
that's a completely dumb comparison

>>5023856
Do you have problems with starch? The frosty is made from a whip which has a lot of potato flakes in it. It's not actually ice cream like people assume.

>>5023723

Yeah, the McChicken really does beat out Wendy's value chicken sandwich. They use much better breading I think. Plus the McChicken is still $1 and the last time I looked, your chicken sandwich was $1.19 or some bullshit.

>>5023879
thats just the monterey, which has cheese on it. I wont touch anything from mcdonalds, because I have worked there before.

>>5023877
This is actually bullshit.

>>5023857
we are actually about to change that. a bunch of stuff is about to be added to the value menu.

>>5023854
vegans are not a large enough percentage of the population to cater too, is the short answer.

>>5023853
agrred, our potatoes are always good. even they are even slightly hard, I toss them.

>>5023777
Because its traditional, Dave wanted to give people a healthier alternative to french fries. also: im guessing your wendys has a fucked up oven, whose temp does not hold. I have been in stores with this probably.

>>5023771
the lady that sued actually had 2nd and third degree burns all over her vagina. there is no reason for coffee to be that hot.

>>5023795
one of the half size salad, probably a blt cobb with no blue cheese, ad reg shredded cheese, and red jalapeno dressing,. with extra chicken. 4.25 and good for you.

Any chance of the Frescata sandwiches or the old Bacon Mushroom Melt making a comeback?

the black forest ham Frescata was great - it was nice to have an alternative to burgers at wendy's. and the new portabella mushroom burger is just overkill for me, I miss the classic unpretentious BMM. I don't expect it to ever come back though :(

>>5023912
frescata, no. bacon mushroom melt, more than likely. we have a portabella bacon mushroom melt right now that is pretty popular.

>>5023704

Genuinely curious. What are your best-selling items, and how do those change with what time of day it is?

>>5023919
he bacanotar is the king of sandwich mountain, and always will be. we tend to seel more potatoes and chili later at night, especially during the cold winter months. salads tend to rule midday alongside chicken sandwiches.

>>5023932

The baconator? Really? That surprises me. What was the best-selling burger prior to the baconator?

>>5023935
the single cheese. we sell a shitton of baconators, every single damn day. we average 45 lbs of bacon a day.

>>5023854
yea mcd's tried that. no one buys their salads. waste of everyone's time

>>5023941

Is it because the 20-something male demographic that the baconator's aimed at also makes up most of your clientele, or does the baconator appeal to other demographics?

>>5023935
yeah gotta say this surprises me too. it's like one of the unhealthiest things they sell, I'd figure only teenagers and stoners would be eating it

Ask a guy who delivers to a wendys in az anything

I worked at a wendys for three years and i gotta say the chili is never good when its fresh cause its so thin. When its sat for a while it thickens up to like this perfect level. No real way to make sure you get it like that other than not getting it when they open it up.

Also, wendys breakfast is amazing if you get lucky to have it near you.

>>5023771
I take it youve never seen the documentary. It was a woman and the coffee was so hot it literally fused her labias together. If you saw the photo of her crotch youd probably take a step back and yell whoa. If this was /b/ id call you a record breaking faggot. But since its /ck/ ill just say good day sir.

>>5023771
How are there still fucking retards out there that don't know the story of how the lady was completely justified in her suit, hence why she won.

>>5024213
Because the "tort reform" lobby is well funded and well organized.

I once ordered a chicken salad and it came without a chicken once

Also why is the brioche bun a nightmare? bitch to prepare? taste bad? nothing like the original brioche? I liked the pretzel one but it was greasy as fuck I might go out and get the brioche soon

>>5024213
She didnt win. It was settled out of court.

>>5024213
>completely justified
>because coffee is hot
what the fuck?
are you
what the fuck?

>>5024250
Not the same person but the OP stated she had second degree burns on her vagina, and again in the OP's words, there is no reason for coffee to be that hot.

>>5024250
Restaurants must follow a temperature limit on their food and drink. The woman was not stupid enough to think that coffee isn't hot. McDonalds was stupid to let the coffee reach extremely high, unsafe temperatures.
2/10 for making me take the bait.

>>5024250

What normal people mean when they say "coffee is hot" and what McDonalds actually serves are two very different things.

It's like those large rare earth magnets you can buy that are the size of a baseball. They are actually extremely dangerous and children can lose their hands, so they are labeled accordingly. They don't just say "these are strong lol". They literally say "danger, a child can be permanently maimed".

McDonalds just slapped some generic text on the cup. That's irresponsible. Why would anyone expect anything out of the ordinary?

>>5024264
What kind of magnets are these?

>>5024283
http://unitednuclear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=70_80

>>5023704
do you take bodies from organized crime and turn them into fast food for cash?

what percentage of a typical wendys dish is human meat how much of it is rat?


do you racist staff ejaculate on the food mexicans purchase?

>>5024288
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL1XJ-bhOXQ

I heard that McDonald's imported some "beef" from Australia that turned out to be 15% kangaroo. When will Wendy's offer kangaroo burgers, and will you offer 100% or are you going to cut it with other meats?

P.S. please go back to square patties.

wendys employee reporting in.

Goddamnit, /ck/ you've made me determined to pick up some Wendy's on the way home.
I haven't been there in 3 or 4 years, what should i get? Im going to add a side of chili to it too.

>>5023704
Is it true if someone comes in and says they're not from the area and they're hungry you will give them free food?

>>5025181

chili

Why are your burgers so fucking delicious?

Also, is the Spicy Chicken the GOAT chicken sandwich, or is one of the others better?

What's the deal with those new Wendy's that are popping up and they're fancy inside? You order at the register and then pick up at a separate counter, it's like a Starbucks.
Are all Wendy's going to be like this eventually?

>>5023718
That's a lot of oil. Goddamn.

>>5023743
>I think its one of the few newer things that have been really well recieved and is actually good. the Brioche bun is a nightmare.

And yet they took it off the menu. Fucking why? Will it ever come back?

my sister loved those pita wraps that wendy's had years ago. will they ever come back?

What is your salary, OP?

Do you have the recipe for Wendy's chili? Or does everything besides the beef just come pre-mixed?

>>5023708
what's he poring on top in the 4th panel?

>>5023704
>Im a high up manager


nigga, the GD head fry dunker is not a "high up" and/or management position.

>>5023704
What the fuck happened to the Frosty Float?
Bring it back.
I liked the Frosty Float.
Explain yourself.

>>5025866
not him but i work there a long time. You put a massive can of beans a package of seasoning and a bag of frozen veggies into a pot with a ton of water. You hit the hamburger from the freezer up with some water til the meat is hot. You then crumble the hamburger and add it to the pot. Cook it for a while. There is an ingredant list on spices and veggies but its been too long since ive worked there to remember.

>>5027962
kaiser buns were the shit why did they get rid of them. Used to get 2 junior bacons on kaisers and a small chili when i was in college every friday.

What are the best things at Wendy's? I hadn't been to Wendy's for like 5 years, but went recently and got the mushroom burger thing. It wasn't bad.

>>5024213
McDonalds intentionally made its coffee that hot because most customers at the time complained the temperature would drop. Also it was an old lady who put the cup in between her lap and decided it would be a good idea to do it inside of a parked car.

>>5024288
I am scared for my life over those magnets.
There is probably one miles away building up momentum and picking shit up like katamari damacy getting ready to completely obliterate my house and ram me up the asshole

>>5028040
So an old lady tried to masturbate with a cup of hot coffee and burnt her twat off?
>Americans

>>5028146
You got it champ

>>5024213
Because this is America, and anybody making money (except for the CEOs and rich companies) is a fucking villain.

Wendy's employee here. Been working here for three years (through highschool). I can honestly say that there are a few things you guys should try. Best one:
Poutine
One packet vinegar (malt is best if they carry it)
Half a container of buffalo ranch
Top with half a spicy chicken.
It is honestly god-tier.

>>5023941
Baclnators are really good with extra ketchup and mayo.

>>5028146

This was a pretty good report on its anniversary. Even after I heard the whole story, I still think she's stupid.

>>5023704
Will you guys ever bring back the wild mountain chicken sandwich?

>>5023916
My friend got the portabella melt and said it was the greasiest thing he had ever gotten from a fast food restaurant. He compared it to candle wax. Why is it so greasy?

Your fries used to be good as fuck and now they are shit tier

Doesn't help that your prices are already high as fuck

Last time I ate at Wendy's was only because I was at a car show and there was almost nothing else around

>>5028393
Because it has five seperate greasy ingredients:
Cheese
Cheese sauce
Butter
Beef
Bacon
What did he expect?

>>5028407
Well I don't know I guess he's an idiot. I didn't know it had butter and cheese sauce on it. That's disgusting.

>>5023704
God damn I like me some Wendys and all, but its the most difficult fast food place.

inb4 "lol america has difficulty with fast food

Really though. Have you tried to make a nice meal come out to an even $3.50 or so at wendys its fucking impossible. Either you get something for a dollar, or you get a non value or whatever sandwhich and they're like $6.50.

I'll hand it to them though best tier condiment packets of any fast food place imo tied with Rallys/Checkers.

I recently went to Wendys and I realized that their baconators have sorta fallen in terms of quality... The bacon seems more rubbery.

>>5023771
>wendy's
>pleasant sensations

>>5028421
>Have you tried to make a nice meal come out to an even $3.50 or so

>Junior Cheeseburger
>value fries
>value drink

And that's my lunch a few times a week.

>>5023704
I eat at Wendy's at least three times a week, and having each medium-sized meal combo priced at roughly $10 is killing my budget. I love Wendy's, but it's killing my budget.

>>5028438
It is because for some reason they recently cut the cooking time for bacon. Their definition of burned is "slightly crispy". Seriously, we get SOCMANY complaints about the bacon not being crispy enough yet the inspectors basically want it rubbery. When I eat I make my own , better bacon.

>>5023879
My appetite for Macdonalds changed after I worked there.

Why is Monterey Ranch Chicken Sandwich so good? And why did you guys defile the memory of Dave Thomas and fuck up the value menu?

>>5028416
The butter is just lightly on the bun (unless the butter wheel thing gets fucked up). The cheese sauce is mixed with the mushrooms.

>>5025665
If a drunk native shows up I will give him or her some quality expired nuggets so they will leave.

>>5028322
lol 10k in medal bills
gotta love america

Can you guys possibly make your cheese not shit? Or make it so that when I say I want a fucking HAMBURGER not a CHEESEBURGER they don't put cheese on it? Jesus fucking Christ, Wendy's is the worst when it comes to taking the cheese off my fucking burger.

Also, the cheese sauce on the pretzel chicken: Fuck whomever thought that was a good idea.

>>5028322
Sounds like she never should've gotten her money.

>Spilling industry-standard temp coffee on self
>Blame McDonald's

>>5029193
Yeah. You shouldn't be holding hot drinks between your legs in the first place. McDonald's should be making cups that are relatively safe, and if the lid came off on its own, I'd understand them being sued. But, she put the hot drink between her legs, and took the lid off. She put herself in a risky situation.

>>5029057
If you don't like it, don't eat it. Seems simple enough to me... what's your major malfunction causing you to be incapable of choosing for yourself?

>>5029193
They just wanted the hospital bill paid at first, but McDonalds decided to be a fucker. Coffee shouldn't be 3rd degree burn hot. That seems pretty reasonable to me.

>>5029193
We all know that but most people are scared to say it. Niggers! Al sharpie sharp sharpton will be out with his gang of nigger thugs calling you a racist if you speak the tr00f. Of course, bring up tawanna brawley to him, the tr00f really freaks them and their bullshit up. Hard.

Disagree with a nigger, you're a racist, disagree with anyone else and you're a [insert word here]phobe.

>>5028401

Gotta agree with this guy, the new fries are awful.

>>5028401
Yeah wtf happened? Did you stop that sea salt bullshit because if so I might have to put you in a bag

>>5029057
The Wendy's in my area is amazing and clean...where do you live?

>>5029028
You know what? Fuck it.
You assholes asked for it.
>LOLOLOLOL 10K FOR A COFFEE BURN
Fuck you.

>>5029057
Being a Wendy's employee I can tell you about 9/10 people who say they want a hamburger, actually want a cheeseburger and will have a shitfit if you don't give them cheese. If you don't want cheese, say "no cheese".

>>5029290
>posting gore on a work safe board

>>5029232
>>5029304

You guys must really think highly of yourselves if you think I haven't said every combination of "no fucking cheese" on my burgers and I still get it. Holy shit, get off your high horses.

>>5029304
I used to think I hated cheeseburgers thanks to the crap cheese fast food restaurants put on their burgers. Luckily I moved to Philly, discovered cheesesteaks and finally decided to try cheeseburgers again except with real cheese

>>5029696
I don't do that, but yes my coworkers commonly fuck it up both ways. I know what you mean now.

>>5029256
Most people know that some teas and coffees are best when brewed with slightly under boiling temperature water. I was at an Indian restaurant, and was brought an extremely hot cup of tea, and the waitress thought I didn't like it because I hadn't started drinking it for a while, waiting for it to cool off. She told me a lot of the Indian customers want their tea served boiling hot, and they drink it that way.

You put yourself at risk of injury by placing a hot drink between your legs. You make it worse by taking the lid off. McDonald's served an old lady who made a mistake a hot drink, with a perfectly fine cup and lid.

>>5023791
That actually looks pretty good. I'd prefer the tomatoes just a little thicker, and maybe some nice deli mustard on there, but it looks fine.

>>5023932
>baconator is the king of sandwich mountain

Good god, I thought that thing was just a gimmick. Get it together Murrika.

>>5029863
>A bacon sandwich (also known in parts of the United Kingdom and New Zealand as a bacon butty or bacon sarnie, in Ireland as a rasher sandwich[1] and as a bacon sanger in Australia and parts of Scotland) is a sandwich of cooked bacon between bread that is usually spread with butter or margarine, and may be seasoned with ketchup or brown sauce.

>The BLT[2] is a popular variant of the bacon sandwich with the additional ingredients of lettuce and tomato, but served cold.

>Americans adding vegetables to a sandwich
Get it together people-not-from-the-greatest-country-on-earth

>>5029812
>want their tea served boiling hot, and they drink it that way

>that person who loudly slurps on their boiling fucking coffee every 5 seconds because they can't wait a few minutes for the damn thing to cool off

>>5029812
The lid wasn't fastened securely

>LOL SHE JUST GOT A MINOR BURN ITS OK BABY

PIC
FUCKING
RELATED

DONT LOOK

>>5029193
>industry standard

Point was that it wasn't industry standard, and certainly not what people are accustom to in their own home. McD's was holding it at near-boiling so it would stay "fresh" longer.

Thanks op, I haven't had a baconator in years.

>>5029882
You are the minority there. Sipping hot drinks is standard, practically encouraged.

>>5029711
>Luckily I moved to Philly, discovered cheesesteaks and finally decided to try cheeseburgers again except with real cheese

>cheesesteaks
>real cheese

I thought they were traditionally made with Cheese Whiz.

>>5023853
oh shit i used to live right down the street from there! Not my favorite wendy's, though.

OP, a couple years ago there was a Chipotle-sauced, white-cheddar cheeseburger that came out in southeastern MA at some test locations. Anything in the pipe about that sauce returning? it was fantastic.

Wendy's is good, not to mention it was founded in my city. My grandfather actually went fishing with Dave Thomas lol

I went to Wendy's for the first time in three years last month. The fries were limp and balled together. It felt like eating mashed potatoes. The spicy nuggets were rock hard. Inedible. And the spicy chicken sandwich was dark brown on the inside. Yesterday I gave them a second chance. Ordered the same thing from a different Wendy's. Almost as bad. Complete 180 from the restaurant that I used to adore.

>>5030255
Then your area sucks. Unfortunately there is no mass quality control

>>5024049
>>5024213
>>5028040

The fact that makes me think this was just a dumb cunt who deserved nothing is this:

THE COFFEE WAS A NORMAL TEMPERATURE

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald's_Restaurants#Coffee_temperature

Yes, it seriously hurt her, whatever. That's because coffee isn't made to pour directly onto your twat. You're supposed to let it cool for a while and drink it. If food stuff is supposed to be safe to pour on your genitals I'm going to sue hot sauce companies.

>>5030278
I once put my dick in a cup mountain dew and then it really hurt and the sugar gave me a yeast infection a day later.

>>5030298
>I once put my dick in a cup of Mountain Dew
Still more reasonable than drinking it.

>>5030255
I don't know what Wendy's you are going to. Mine is like 10 times better than that. Note that there is sometimes blood in the pointy end of the spicy chicken not because it is undercooked just because it isn't always processed correctly beforehand.

>>5030302
True enough. I like the diet stuff though, it's actually pretty good. The regular stuff tastes oily for some reason (which is why I tried putting it on my dick).

>>5025779
I was thinking that. You don't need that much oil at all. I think it would be better to steam the kale, then add the nearly cooked kale to some sauteed garlic with a lot less oil.

OP died

>>5023901
>2nd and third degree burns all over her vagina.
>vagina

no

Just tried that brioche portbella melt a few days ago. Holy fuck I loved it.

>>5030526
They probably meant to say vulva.

>>5030278

European here

Why are your patties square?

>>5030646
did you read the wiki link, faggot?

>>5028040
No, you sperglord retard, McD's made their coffee that hot so that people at the restaurant wouldn't drink it quickly enough to request a "free refill".

There were a large number of complaints and injuries before the famous lawsuit, and in fact the woman in the famous lawsuit only requested that McDonald's pay her full medical bill (instead of the 10% they had offered).

The jury decided to give a PUNITIVE DAMAGE AWARD to punish McDonald's so that the company would QUIT ACTING LIKE FUCKTARDS and serve their coffee at a drinkable, non-injurious temperature.

The whole point of a PUNITIVE damage award is to beat the company in the head with a 2x4 so that it understands that it should modify its behavior. The punitive damages worked, and McDonald's served its coffee at a reasonable temperature for quite some time thereafter.

Has Wendy's stopped brushing greasy movie-theater "butter" on their buns yet?

What a fucking mess ...

The burgers are square because Dave Thomas had the motto that he did not believe in cutting any corners. He was a great guy and so was the charity foundation that he ran

>>5030647
It was a joke the founder, Dave, said, something about "not cutting corners" with his burgers.

>>5030683
pic related shithead, it wasn't abnormally hot it was normal serving temperature for most restaurants. You're just not supposed to spill coffee on your crotch.

>>5030691
Makes sense
They're pretty damn good, but I'd still go to Five Guys more.

>>5030683
I think with the case where the lady spilled coffee and sued, the coffee was actually way hotter then it was supposed to be. It was actually boiling hot and it scolded the shit out of her vag area.

People always point to that case as out-of-control litgation, but that shit's uncalled for, people want a cup of coffee not a crotch covered in 2nd degree burns.

>>5030698
You have just opened the Pandora's Box of trolling, friend.

Why does Wendy's cheese taste like dick? I can't eat anything that has cheese from there because it tastes horrible.

>>5030691
>>5030690
i always assumed it was just easier to cut them in groups from a huge sheet of flattened hamburger than to form them in round molds

>>5030708
In-n-Out is much better than both though

Op, if you're still around...

What the fuck happened to the Bacon and Blue burger? That was easily the best thing any fast food chain has ever sold.

Tell them higher up niggers to bring it back.

>>5025181

Plain baconator, medium fries, small chili. Chili goes on burger and fries.

>>5030251
Did they ever jerk each other off in the woods?

>>5030683
Sensible political opinions? They should divide /pol/ in two one for people like you who actually seem educated and make reasonable arguments and one for people to shout HITLER DID NOTHING WRONG JIDF SHILLS KIKES NWO JEWS DID 9/11
Or, my favorite idea, post a new global rule on 4chan that all political content MUST go in /mlp/ and enjoy the fireworks.

>>5030708
Why does Wendy's not have vegan items?
*Opens Pandora's Box a bit more*

>>5030742
Dude, they still have all the ingredients for it.
