...am i the only one who doesn't like them? i don't eat fast food that often (well, i try not too), but i tried the Angus burger. the meat tastes like those frozen salisbury steak dinners. i like the whopper MUCH better. i know the whopper meat isn't much either, but it just tastes better to me.

so, am i the only one who doesn't really like those Angus burgers?

Wendy's 'remakes' burger to meet competition (http://www.wzzm13.com/rss/article/179531/14/Wendys-remakes-burger-to-meet-competition)

Wow, that article required a lot of reading before finally getting to what the changes are:


Tasters said they wanted a thicker burger, so Wendy's started packing the meat more loosely, trained cooks to press down on the patties two times instead of eight and printed "Handle Like Eggs" on the boxes that the patties were shipped in so they wouldn't get smashed. And Wendy's researchers knew that customers wanted warmer and crunchier buns, so they decided that buttering them and then toasting them was the way to go.

In the end, Wendy's changed everything but the ketchup. It switched to whole-fat mayonnaise, nixed the mustard, and cut down on the pickles and onions -- all to emphasize the flavor of the beef. The chain also started storing the cheese at higher temperatures so it would melt better, a change that required federal approval.

Looks good on paper.

I thought they were making them round when I saw the title of the thread.

I like their new fries, but why do they put so much salt on them? They changed those to be healthy, but you don't have to douse with salt. Just keep the packets there for those that need the extra salt.

Glenn

If they refuse to add mustard on mine, it's a deal breaker.

geerussell
09-19-2011, 06:58 PM
I assume they just changed the standard toppings and didn't stop offering mustard as an option. I agree that'd be a dealbreaker and kind of nuts.

Wendys burgers were the best, better than McD's or BK at least. I think this is a bit of fixing the carpet to try to keep the roof from leaking.

can't really notice the difference on the buns or anythign else, but the patties are thicker and a little greasier/juicier. Still got dam delicious.

DrRay11
09-20-2011, 07:59 PM
maybe even better. Hard to tell. If you don't mind a little more grease on your hands, definitely better tasting.

Made with juicier, thicker beef. Buttered, buns. And PREMIUM toppings, Wendy's Hot 'n Juicy Cheeseburgers really make you tear up the john.

09-24-2011, 05:52 PM
Tried it yesterday, I think it's a good improvement. Went for the standard issue double cheese combo.

The meat was noticeably better, the mayo was decent and the toasty buttery action on the bun was good. Overall it's my new favorite shitty meal to get in a drive thru. I mean that a little nicer than it sounds.

On the negative side, the cheese was kind of invisible. A couple bites in I pulled it open to see if they'd forgotten to add it but there was definitely a yellowish cheese-like substance there. I'll probably order it without the cheese next time, no point if it's just lube.

Also, the shits struck within hours. WTF, wendy's? Maybe that cheese-ish stuff was a laxative.

Oh and the price. It's been a while since I ate there so maybe this is old news but $8.05 for a large double combo? It's not that good. Approaching $10 is about the point where I'd rather go somewhere I can have a pint with my burger.
