Everybody has their go-to fast food place, whether it's Panera Bread, Chipotle, McDonald's, Arby's, etc... so I'm here to share my absolute favorite fast food chain: Wendy's. Now in my opinion, Wendy's is extremely underrated. In addition to the love I already had for the food products since I was a young child, I discovered a lot of information about the company's social responsibility and environmental sustainability for a class assignment, which only solidified my adoration even more. Here it is: why Wendy's is plain and simply, AWESOME.
1. The ketchup and mayonnaise combination
Most people think that this combination is disgusting, but seriously don't knock it until you try out. It might not sound delicious, but believe me it is. Every time I go to Wendy's, I look forward to that tasty sauce on my hamburger.
2. The burgers
On that note, the burgers themselves are amazing. I can eat two, three, sometimes even four (which I know is wildly unhealthy), but I don't go all that often, so I'm allowed to treat myself every once in a while. The meat might not be luxurious like you'd have at fine dining restaurants, but it always makes my taste buds smile.
3. Frosty's
Do I even have to explain this one? It's a milkshake. Enough said. You can choose from Chocolate or Vanilla. Now, not only can you get an an appetizing meal, but you can even get a mouthwatering (and cheap) dessert as well. Sign me up!
4. French fries
I'm very selective about my french fries. They have to be just right, and Wendy's has managed to fine-tune this popular food choice and it makes me very happy, to say the least. They're nice and crispy and they even contain traces of sea salt and as a beach lover, that's just an added bonus.
5. The logo
This might not be food related exactly, but how can you not love their logo? It's a little red-headed girl with a huge smile on her face after the founder, Dave Thomas's daughter. Fun fact: his daughter's name wasn't Wendy, but she couldn't pronounce her real name, Melinda. Wendy was her nickname and it stuck, so Thomas named the restaurant in her honor.
6. Chicken nuggets
Last, but of course not least, their chicken nuggets. I was never a huge fan of chicken nuggets and I still prefer chicken fingers at most places (if you say there's no difference, stop lying to yourself), but Wendy's is different. Their chicken nuggets are top dog in my book.
I don't know about you, but I could really go for a Wendy's hamburger, french fries, and Frosty right about now. Maybe I'll see you there!
