We had this delivered as Archie needed to stay at the hotel, we didn’t order the frosty as it would have melted by the time it arrived, but we did try them at Wendy’s in the UK! :)
It's okay, You shouldn't have to explain yourself to these people on why you didn't order frosties. They act like just because they like Wendy's frosties that you guys should have ordered them, and they act like it's a sin you didn't. You guys were on your vacation, do what you want and eat what you want, order what you want, not what everyone else things you should order, and call a chicken sandwich a chicken burger if you want to.
@@rmk2336 People probably didnt realize theyve already been to wendys and tried it. It is pretty sad to see someone cross the ocean just to go to places like Cracker barrel, dennys, wendys, applebees etc. You can vacation how you want but its like they went on a "worst of america" tour. Its like going to the UK and going to greggs, Franky and bennys, Taybarns and bella italia.
@@Forced2DoThis1 Right. I would have passed on ordering fries. they will be cold for sure with delivery. The Frosty on the other hand is super thick and frozen. It would have been nice to let it melt a bit in the delivery process. So I would have chosen the Frosty and not the fries for a delivery.
Here in the US we refer them as chicken sandwiches, unless the meat is ground up and formed into a patty then it becomes a chicken burger! Happy to see you guys made it to America keep up the good work!
"Chicken burger" always triggers me because "hamburger"/"burger" refers to a Hamburg steak sandwich, with a Hamburg steak being ground/minced beef. Therefore, a "chicken burger" should be a Hamburg steak sandwich where the ground beef is replaced with ground chicken. These _do_ exist in grocery stores in the US.
The thing about any of these fast food places is that you can find one Popeyes with absolutely awesome food and the next one down the road may have terrible food. It’s got to do with how good the manager is and the people cooking the food. The McDonalds closest to my house is terrible so I travel 10 miles to the next one for awesome food made by caring employees. I tell them all the time how much I appreciate the care they take in making the food.
yeah that’s so true, the Wendy’s near my house is garbage, nothing but hood-rats working there, but the McDonalds right next to it is awesome, open 24 hours, and they stay packed all day & night
@@jgieselerI'm 27 years old and I worked at Wendy's when I was 16. I remember the Asiago chicken sandwich being a hot new popular item. I used to drop fresh ones and take 2 home
I live in what we call MidTown. I walk down one block and there is a Place called, The Cheese Lady, they sell nothing but cheese, further down there is a Subway, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Checkers, KFC, just to name a few. In the other direction less than two blocks away there is a Farmer's Market, where I can purchase some great fresh fruits and veggies, oh yeah and the that's were I get my Food Truck burritos! Best of both worlds and I am grateful for the balance.
When they do order beverages from American chains, they're always surprised at how big they are, so maybe some of them have gotten in the habit of not ordering beverages because they're overpriced for what they get where they're from. The Beesleys know by now how big our beverages are, so that's probably why they ordered just one to share.
You forgot the chocolate frosty! The apple pecan chicken salad is my favorite item on Wendy’s menu (with cheddar cheese substituted for the bleu cheese)
You know, you can ask for any additions that you want - rather it's on the menu or not - they will add it for you!!! Just something to think about the next time!!
My wife is a GM (general manager) of her place. We are looking into her own franchises. To own her own. My wife smiled at your reaction to the baconator fries and daves double. We are sending love and hugs from Ohio! I'm so glad I subscribed to you years ago. Always looking forward to your next post.
More than 75 years later, The Dwarf House continues to give customers a glimpse into the beginnings of the Chick-fil-A franchise, serving items from Truett's original menu (including hamburgers!) along with the Chick-fil-A menu
It's not a Chicken Burger. It's a Chicken Sandwich. A Chicken Burger is ground chicken formed in the shape of a hamburger. While we are at it. The Nuggets you ate were naked. You should try dipping them in one of the sauces. In North America we are big on seasoning and sauces
Other countries, especially European, call all foods on burger buns burgers based on the thicker bread it's on, and a sandwich if it's on the thinner sandwich bread.
@@kevinfleming9919 Makes no sense since a "hamburger" is specifically a _Hamburg_ steak sandwich. It doesn't matter what bread you have it on. If it's not ground meat, it's not a Hamburg steak.
@@SmashPortal they aren't calling it a "hamburger", just a burger, and since a lot of companies sell the buns labeled "Burger Buns" , especially in other countries, and not hamburger buns then it makes sense, not to mention the fact that they aren't American and don't have to follow some Americans beliefs. Plus, since it's a European thing to call them "Chicken Burgers", "Turkey Burgers", "Pork Burgers" and whatever else, and the hamburger originated from the Hamburg Steak whixh came to us from Germany, a member of the European Union in the middle of Europe, they probably have it more correct than Americans to call it that. They don't have to live their lives in a way that makes you happy and can call it whatever they want.
So many British-isms. From salad (not a salad) to burger (not a burger) and more. Nuggets without a dipping sauce? My favorite Wendy's order is a Cobb Salad, baked potato and large chilli. Or a Triple baconator add lettuce tomato onion (salad) if I'm feeling glutinous.
If you don't know, the founder, Dave Thomas, named the company after his daughter, who's nickname was Wendy. She is now 62 and a spokesperson for the company. She owns about 30 of the restaurants.
@@everyday80sdude86 Perhaps you'd like to explain how foreigners who've never eaten there are supposed to know this information? Unless you think they look up the back story on every restaurant they visit.
I love Wendy's! I really love the chocolate frosty! I really like their new breakfast menu. I just went for breakfast this morning. They have a really good $3 breakfast combo deal right now
I used to be an assistant manager at Wendy's. I still love their burgers even after working there. They are always cooked fresh. At least they were when I worked there.
I used to work at Wendy’s. (Moons ago). I would take a chx nugget with a pickle and it was SO good! I still remember the order in which the burgers were assembled because we were trained that way. 😅
The best part of Wendy's burgers, is that they aren't frozen. I know all fast food prices went up a lot in the last few years, but I feel like Wendy's went up more than average. You use to be able to get a double/fries/drink for under $10
Wendys burgers are the best of the major fast food burger chains. decadent. Their chili is pretty decent. Fries myeh. Frosty is yummy. Really all about their burgers
@@bradkirchhoff5703 but probably still better than McDonald’s and BK’s. BK is a train wreck now. The whopper used to be my favorite burger. It’s trash now. The FF industry is in bad shape since Covid.
@@quarantinetheater5612BK was awesome back in the late 80s and early 90s. It's such a shame how far that company has fallen. It's practically inedible now.
I love Wendy’s. I don’t go to burger places that often but what’s nice about Wendy’s is the burgers aren’t frozen. They’re shipped in from local farms. At least at the Wendy’s near where I live.
Two lovely people enjoying some food. UK people must have been late to be introduced into fast food and burgers, so they do call any sandwich that is NOT of 2 simple loaf 'square' bread slices, a 'burger' LOL. You can buy ground chicken, turkey, salmon (patties with seasoning mixed in), bison etc. and make any of them a burger. Few or no fast food places have chicken burgers.
Wendy's always does a great job. Their old fries used to be terrible, possibly the worst in the industry. The new ones are really good, though. They've also improved their chili, which is perfect for dipping those tasty fries into. Next time be sure to get a Frosty. (Also good for dipping fries into!) :)
A cheese burger is just that a burger with cheese only. A burger with cheese comes with the veggies. Not to worry, it's an American thing, but I'm glad you enjoyed the Wendy's experience.
I like the Wendy's single, "dragged through the garden" with small fries, small Frosty and a small Coke. For a change of pace, especially in winter, I like mixing a small chili into a baked potato. Good food, friendly service and a pleasant dining room.
You rarely see cheese on a chicken burger because chicken burgers are so rare. We do have turkey burgers (made with ground turkey), but what you had there was a chicken sandwich.
Indeed they are as they are in some other English speaking countries. I'm an Anglophile and I love how we have differences in our languages like lift/elevator, trainers/sneakers, lorry/truck, etc. However unlike differences in names that we each came up with on our own over time, this one is a little different as if something got lost in the translation.
Wendy's is known in the US as never using frozen beef patties. If that's true in the UK too, then your beef and produce is sourced from UK farms. You'll never get the same US flavor at a UK Wendy's.
Baconator is king they have an amazing southwest zedty salad as well. Their chili baked potato is nice as well. Their ghost pepper ranch chicken sandwich is fabulius
When I worked in downtown Columbus, I used to go to the original Wendy’s and grab a meal to go. Frosty, single burger, fries. Or maybe their baked potato with cheese and bacon and a cup of chili 😊
I love your videos in the US! Just keep in mind that California, Texas, and New York are our most popular and populated States, but the entire Country and each State has a lot to offer visitors! Please come to Georgia someday and be impressed with Georgia hospitality and cuisine!!
That's definitely a chicken sandwich. The only thing that would be considered a burger is if it contains ground up meat, usually beef, in the form of a patty.
Looks like a great spot! I don't eat much fast food.. but my recollection is Wendy's food is made fresh.. so you have to wait a bit, but it's fresh off the grill.
Love the Pineapple Mango Lemonade. They discontinued two of my favorite flavors. There was a Sunburst Melon one and a Tropical Berry lemonade. Now I just get the Pineapple Mango
Wendy’s was my favorite major fast food chain burger growing up, but they changed them in 2011 and dropped to one of my least favorite. I’ve had maybe 5-6 Wendy’s burgers since then, but I still regularly go for their chicken sandwiches (usually the spicy Asagio chicken ranch).
Two tripples and a large chocolate frosty is a pretty decent meal. Or if your feeling cheap, 5 jr bacon cheeseburgers. Its definetly not a daily meal, but a nice don't feel like cooking substitute.
I agree with you that Dave's Double needs veggies. That is the only reason I don't get it. I usually stick to the basic hamburger which has veggies and my favorite chicken burger with Asiago cheese and bacon. So good
❤❤❤Please Please Please remember, in the U.S., you can special order items, even at fast food chains....add this, minus that., extra of this...if you add...it is usually under a dollar per item....for example, "Add Extra Bacon, Lettuce or Pickles Please", if something doesn't typically come with it.
@@armchairwizard8613 Hamburgers are derived from a hamburg steak (ground beef patty) in between bread. The hamburg style of the patty is what makes it a (ham)burger.
@@armchairwizard8613 Indeed it is. So are grilled cheese, BLT, philly cheesesteak, PB&J, club, ham & swiss, french dip, etc. etc. But how many of those are burgers?
Its been a while since I have been to wendy's. But they used to have a baked potato and chili. Get them both and put them together. I like the beer pub cheese burger and chicken.
You're at the Hilton Garden Inn on the Riverwalk! I've sat in that exact same corner near the pool less than a year ago. It's a pretty good value-for-money, too. I paid barely over $100 per night last time I went.
I grew up liking Wendy's. In the 80's they had an excellent salad bar, and we would stop off after my mom picked me up from school to load up a huge salad to take home for dinner. They don't make the best fast food burgers, but they're good and their menu is pretty varied without any duds on it. Sadly they have suffered the same problem as almost all fast food places recently, which is a drop in order accuracy. 3 out of the last 4 times I've gone there my order was at least partially wrong.
Almost all fast food joints in the US have no issue adding in extras if you ask. In fact, there is almost a cult around "hidden" items or customizing items in ways to either save money or to get something really good that wouldn't normally be served.
I like to order a Dave's double, just the sandwich, and a large chili. I take out one patty and cut it up and put it in the chili for a meatier chili and I still have the sandwich to eat with it. Vanilla frosty. Yummy!
