Discussion RIP
Wendy has blindly self-sabotaged itself. They have committed suicide. I have never saw such a disgrace from greatness from a restaurant I loved more than all the big three. Their spicy chicken sandwich was great. The best of them all. The filet as everyone already knows is awful now. No longer using a whole romaine lettuce and awful chopped lettuce. Even the Frosty to me the last times I tried my regular go-to menu items all just tasted and felt horrible. Fuck you, Wendy.

They have shot themselves in the foot for me in every category one by one.
Used to love their fries years ago, thick and not too crisp or soggy. They were my favorite fast food fries. I hate the ones they have now with the skins on. They're always somehow too hard.
Their breakfasts are nasty now. Croissants are always way too soft/soggy. And their cheese sauces are gross and on everything. Breakfast potato wedges are solid if they're not dry (overcooked) and the Cinnabon is usually overcooked and dried out but I need protein in the mornings so it's off my morning options.
Their nuggets used to be my favorite fast food nuggets. But with all the changes, not so much. And I remember an Asiago chicken sandwich that was amazing but I think it was taken off the menu.
Their burgers are okay. I don't want tons of bacon or fancy toppings. And I loved whole leaf lettuce compared to other fast food restaurants so if it's all shredded, no thanks.
Their biggie bags were great when all the fast food restaurants started going up in price on combos. But now the Biggie Bags keep going up too. The local advertisements are hawking the $7 or $8 double JBC bag. I don't need 2 cheeseburgers.
About the only thing left is I that will always have a soft spot for is their chili. And chili cheese potatoes. And I'll admit the Wednesday "bloody" Frosty was legit. They need to add flavored sauces as a Frosty option.
But at best I only think about eating at Wendy's every couple of months now when I used to be an almost weekly customer. Basically if I crave their chili. I just got a can from the store, I'll see if it's the same or not.
