What's your go to meal at Wendy's?

You forgot about “Wendy’s wonderful kids” the nonprofit devoted to adopting older children. Dave Thomas was a huge advocate for adopting children from the foster care system!!

When I worked at Wendy's, they said the burgers are square because "we don't cut corners" lol. Great first job

I worked there in high school...so circa 1990. Anyone remember the Superbar? It had Italian, Mexican & a salad bar/potato bar. They tore them out of all the stores. Also back then, the burgers that were cooked but stayed on the grill too long went into a pan of water that was also on the grill to keep it hot. Then it was used for the next day’s chili.

I worked at Wendy's in HS in 1979. Got my little brother in too. Wore that striped uniform at 1 minute in. Dining room had those plastic beads hanging all around and carpeting. Single was 95 cents. Min wage was 2.90. Burgers,fries,chili,frosty and pop/tea was the whole menu. Frosty machine smelled like liquor at the end of the day. Lost my virginity with a girl who worked there and my brother is still married to a girl he met there...

Most people today don't realize that back in the early 70's, the food at Wendy's was INCREDIBLE. It was like homemade - thick, juicy burgers. Everything was fresh. Now it's a pale shadow of what it used to be. It still decent by fast food standards, but those standards have lowered dramatically over the years.

I'm a truck driver and quite a few Wendy's franchises that are located in truck stops have a full breakfast menu. In my opinion they have the best breakfast items of any fast food chain. I would love to see it expanded to every Wendy's restaurant.

I'm an avid Wendy's fan so I'm not sure why I opened this video expecting them to reveal negative things. Thankfully it was all positive and reaffirmed my love for it!

I used to love to go to Wendy's when I was a kid because they had those shiny foil wrappers. No other restaurant had that. Oh, the food tasted good too.

Didn't know he came up with the chicken bucket for KFC

I moved someone where that doesn't have a nearby Wendy's and I had my first Wendy's in 3 years a couple months ago. It was blessed.

It’s surprising that Dave Thomas didn’t take advantage of the G.I. Bill after serving in the Army.

What about the fact Wendy’s refuses to source tomatoes from companies that don’t exploit their workers? Google it. IRC training is where I learned this.

So many of these videos expose the unpleasantness of food places, but this one is so wholesome. :)

In highschool used to get 3 junior bacon cheeseburgers 2 orders nuggets with honey mustard and a frosty all for 99 cents a piece... I miss those prices

I'll always love Wendy's. Those late night drive thru experiences with a 99 cent Jr Bacon and some Spicy Nuggets. We were totally high and loved every second of it.

I've lived in Columbus Ohio my whole life, and seen a lot of Wendy's test market items. Their breakfast was the best fast food breakfast ever. It only lasted for a few months. I was so disappointed when they stopped serving it.

Nothing better than a Wendys double, fries and a Frosty! I don't even think of it as fast food! Thanks Dave!

As much as I hated working at Wendy's, I always loved the burgers there. Yummm, nice and cheesey and greasy, just like a burger should be, and the value menu is actually worth the few extra cents!

Too bad they don't have a 99 cent value menu anymore.

Another little known fact: wendy's cannot expand to The Netherlands, Belgium or Luxembourg because of a single dutch snackbar that has the trademark for "Wendy's" in those countries.

Much respect for Dave. Wendy's use to have good fries back in the 80s. Not now IMO

Not only did Dave take the square patty idea from Kewpee's, but he also took the Frosty (aka malt) and fresh never frozen beef idea as well. My go to meal at Wendy's is either the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Dave's Double, or Baconator.

And now...We Beefin?

In the late Nineties/Early Aughts I use Wendy's 99c menu as a measure for all food purchases, and even some non-food purchases! The best deal on the 99c menu was either the Double Stack, two beef patties with cheese ketchup/mustard/pickles/onions, or the Juinor Bacon Cheese Burger. So if I went to Perkins and got a $8 thing of chickenstrips and frys, I would measure it against 8 double stacks. Or a steak Dinner for $18, that could be 18 Jr.bcburgers

I love their nuggets but I can't wait to try their frozen like milkshake. They have REALLY good food. Thanks so much for this.

You can still find Kewpee in Lima, OH. It's like eating at a Wendy's that decided it didn't want to expand nationally...which is exactly what happened.

when I see Wendy's I remember Wendy's roasting people at social media xD

When Wendys discontinued spicy chicken nuggets they became dead to me.

I live in a city where Wendy's went out of business. Then a few years later they came back and I'm happy they did. I go here once a month and make a whole date around it with my wife...lol silly but it's better than most burger places

Their fries and spicy chicken have gone down hill. I miss 90s Wendy's I miss the biggie option

Wendy’s will forever be my go to fast food!

*I am watching this in the car while having Wendy’s after a terrible experience*

When I worked at McDonalds 20 years ago, we'd constantly have people ordering milk shakes with their meals and asking for spoons with them. Then they'd complain that our shake wasn't thick enough. They were so used to having Wendy's allow a frosty to be substituted for the drink, that they associated the milk shake as being the exact same product. The phrase "It's not a f*cking frosty" became something we'd say under our breath out of earshot of customers.

Wendy’s is my favorite (traditional) national fast food chain! I miss the Dave Thomas commercials :(

Many years ago I worked at a Wendy's that served breakfast. They had the best biscuits and gravy!

Literally just ate Wendy's. lol 4 for 4 plus an extra value menu burger. I'm stuffed. 😋

I've always liked Wendy's. When i was a kid there was one maybe 2 miles from our house, and we went there regularly. Fresh meat is always best. I only have Wendy's maybe once a year now, because there are none in the foothills where i live. We do have a Carl's Jr though☺

I love Wendy´s , used to work for them when in H.S. in Fla.

The Wendy's I live next to has a breakfast menu. It's "okay", though their honey butter chicken biscuits are pretty amazing!

The meaning of the square meat actually stands for "We never cut corners." I work at wendys in Maryville TN

Ordering a Biggie meal brings back memories.

Wendy's made me like burgers again. The baconator is to die for.

Wendy’s has the BEST burgers! We grew up on them. Dave seemed like a sweetheart and Wendy seems like a solid human being. I’ll always support Wendy’s.

The best underrated items for each fast food joint: Mcdonald's: Iced Frappe, because their iced coffee is terrible imo Burger King: Mozzerella sticks, haven't had them in a while but iirc they taste the same as Arby's but cheaper and come with marinara sauce Wendy's: Chili, I don't go there often, but you can get a lot of chilli for a cheap price Arby's: French Dip, but it's not for everybody. OR get a large curly fries for a cheap upsize which is absolutely essential if you are sharing. You can also get a free Beef 'N Cheddar if you sign up on their website if you want to get your value Dairy Queen: Nothing really underrated here that I can think of, the $6/7 meal deal is the best value going around KFC: ALWAYS ASK FOR WHITE MEAT A&W: Either the buddy burger or its chicken variant, you get some good value, or you can even order a float if you like that stuff which lots of people don't know about Mary Brown's: (This one is a Canadian fried chicken joint, not sure where else in the world it is) Their fries are top tier fast food fries, always hot, a little bit crispy, and have a potato taste to them, with the option to switch to taters. The place is expensive but there are a few ways to get your value Feel free to add anything else to the list for the sake of value or good taste, fast food is always good in moderation! 👍

I work at a Wendy's in Utah and we are going to start serving breakfast really soon. I'm doing the breakfast training this week.

I remember really loving Wendy's sausage biscuits in highschool and wish they never took it away! Also I feel like Wendy's home style chicken is so good if they try breakfast one more time I really hope they attempt chicken and waffles because I feel they can do it right .

Chili can be served with cheese!!!!!!!

Who else was planing to go to Wendys after this?

They also had a salad bar and works bar with toppings for your burger.

I want to eat the Pretzel Burger again. That burger was the reason I got back into eating at Wendy’s

Their spicy chicken sandwich was my go to until Chick Fil A came to town.

They changed the size of their burgers. Used to have lots of overhang. Not anymore. Still the best burger between them, McD's and Burger King though.

Wow I thought this was gonna be a video exposing Wendy's. But Wendys is too god damn good for it to be exposed

Wow. This is much better review than other channels like "The Richest"

Another great and cool video with Truth

Dave Thomas was an amazing man!

Wendy's also have the square patties to show their competitors that they don't cut corners :)

WHY I SWITCHED FROM WENDY’S TO ARBY’S... Wendy’s chose HOLIDAY TIME to replace the vanilla Frosty with birthday cake Frosty instead of the much more natural choice: the traditional holiday favorite: EGG-NOG. ARBY’s on the other hand serves up their delicious seasonal EGG-NOG shake during the holidays. Wendy’s COULD HAVE given us an egg-nog Frosty during the holidays and birthday cake Frosty any other time of the year, but “NOOOO! We couldn’t do THAT!” thought the ‘thinkers’ at Wendy’s. They should have at least kept the vanilla so we who appreciate traditional holiday flavor could have stirred some cold creamy delicious egg-nog into our Frosty, but again, “NOOOOO!” decided the Wendy’s decision makers. “We’ve got to do birthday cake for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas...SCREW TRADITION and GOOD TASTE!” I don’t know how the other lovers of holiday tradition and good taste are responding but I’m done with Wendy’s. ARBY’s will be my go-to year round from here on out.

Wendy’s really should do breakfast full time

I love Wendy's

I haven't been to a "Wendy's", in a long time. Next month, though I think that a friend of mine and I will stop by there and have lunch. She also wants to try a Frosty, which she has never had before. I personally am looking forward to eating a "Dave's Double" or perhaps one their cheaper sandwiches or burgers. Can't wait to indulge! Thanks for the upload! 😊😎

After Dave Thomas passed on the chain went down hill. Now the food is way over priced and does not taste good. Miss the old Wendy's.

It used to use KFC same recipe, ever since Dave died his daughter wanted wraps that the KFC recipe rips the wraps. So his daughter watered them down eliminating the crunch

I currently work at Wendy’s. Awesome job. And the burgers are square because “they don’t cut corners” but Fr if ur looking for a good first job then Wendy’s is the place to go.

I really miss that Mandarin Chicken Salad. The dressing with the almonds, oranges, and crunchy brown things lol.

They have gotten so expensive

The frosty was actually made in Findlay, Ohio in which Dave took some "inspiration" from and the store is still open so eat up!

I’ve never gone back since they discontinued the Monterey ranch chicken sandwich of the early 90’s.

Fun fact....they scrape the grill...grease and all..to make their chili .

Fun fact there's at least 1 Wendy's that serves lunch 24hrs a day

Not too long ago the owner of Wendy’s transferred ownership to two young entrepreneurs so we might eventually see breakfast as a thing sometime in the future as they’re changing the restaurants to be more modern and like McDonalds

The thing i love about wendys is if you talk shit to them on twitter they will greet you with slick responses!

He actually took everything from kewpie burger, kewpie may of started in Michigan. But they are a ohio based company now. If anyone gets a chance to go to one do it. It’s literally a fresh Wendy’s, their frostys are more creamy and the burgers taste real and not like fast food. It will blow your mind.

If you ever do run across a Wendy's that serves breakfast get you some. Is very good stuff. I think they are generally located near larger interstate interchanges.

A family tradition was to eat lunch at Wendy's Sundays. About 14 of my family members would meet there at have a great time. Unfortunately the younger generation stopped a two decade tradition. The two Wendy's in the area have chosen to have illigals working there one was in upper management and was only hiring other illigals unfortunately most spoke zero English. One of the stores had immigration come in and took 6 employees out in handcuffs. It's extremely unfortunate that some people really think that English isn't America's language but in the late 1700s it was English was made our official language. The German language was very close.

I work at wendys and it sucks

Love Wendy's -- much preferred over other fast-food stops.

I remember Wendys tasting better back in the 80s early 90s they also had a kick ass salad bar. It was the best fast food chain.

When I was younger I preferred them even though they were more expensive. Always associates the bacon burger with them :0

I used to go to Wendy’s all the time. I would always get a coke and a chocolate frosty. Every time. Then for whatever reason I would drink them together...it makes me laugh thinking about why I did that xD. Haven’t been to a Wendy’s in years now.

Wendy's is definitely the best of the top fast food joints.

Well, never been to a real Wendy's but was at a Wendy's First Kitchen at Minato, Tokyo.... It was bad enough never to go back again.

they need to bring the spicy chicken nuggets back

I would love to try wendys, but I never seen any Wendys in Europe: I doubt many over here even knows what Wendys is

well i live in Peterborough Ontario Canada and we have have 3 wendy's and i did worked at one i was a bus boy i would help out and keep they place clean it was a great job to do

Don't forget the mixtape

The dude droped out of high school, worked at kfc and created the chicken bucket, the created Wendy's. Dont tell me you dont love this dude.

I get about seven Wendy’s ads a day and the nearest Wendy’s is 4 hours away

The Baconator is one of my favorite fast food burgers 🍔 the nuggets, chili, & baked potatoes are favs too 👧

Wendy's is the only burger I like to eat when I go for fast food. I get 2 cheese burgers and a Jr bacon cheeseburger and a cup a water every time I go

Wendy's always messes up my order. Only time they didn't was one time after I had a test for this job I applied for, lol. Also got food poisoning from Wendy's and when I told them, nothing happened.

Where's the beef-that's one thing no women ever asked me.

The Kewpee Burger restaurant that Thomas got the idea for the square patties wasn’t in Michigan, it was in Ohio. Not saying there isn’t a Kewpee restaurant in Michigan.

at the beginning you say "Wendy's has 6500 locations worldwide" Wendy's only has a fraction of that under their ownership. the rest aren't theirs at all. My store is not own operated or controlled by Wendy's. Our walk in freezer barely has enough room for the stuff we have on the menu. we cant fit breakfast stuff into it. its just more logistics.

I am thoroughly impressed with Wendy's when Dave Thomas was at the helm, But.. Since then, the burgers, chicken sandwiches, and fries have, in my opinion, dropped in quality and/or size to the point where Wendy's is not a go to for me any longer. I'm sad more than anything. The Tripple was always my first choice among the big chains. Alas, no more. The beef is always over cooked and the chicken is a mere ghost of what it was. And the fries are not worth eating. I miss Wendy's. The real Wendy's. I miss Dave.

Wait wait wait wait wait... He's the founder of the KFC bucket This man was a Genius!!🍗😆

We Beefin? album is iconic.

Frostys are better to dip fries in than ketchup. Change my mind.

You didn’t mention that Wendy’s stole their ideas from Kewpees.
