British Highschoolers Try Wendy’s For The First Time!

[@fscottgray9784]

My mom was dying of cancer that had settled into her bones and she was on hospice. We brought some Wendy's fires and chocolate frosty into her room. We told her to dip the fires in the frosty. She tried it and got the biggest smile on her face, one of the last times I saw her smile. I will always remember that.

[@danboyisdopex9864]

Rip man I lost my mom last year to cancer as well 😢

[@shakenbake4971]

Been doing this as soon as frosty was added. ❤

[@HiroForever]

One of my first jobs was Wendy’s Manager. There are incredibly high standards for food handling, cleanliness and integrity…. And speed of service.

[@barieconway9631]

Fries in a Frosty is the best! A classic.

[@karenjordan9607]

Yes it is ❤

[@Sulaeyes]

Dave was personally a really good man. He never drew attention to himself.

[@gotham61]

You mean the guy who put himself in all of their TV commercials?

[@Sulaeyes]

I knew Dave. The commercial was part of the business. He personally put kids through school, paid medical bills for people, paid off people’s bills. So yes that is who I am talking about.

[@scottarooni]

I used a coupon, and I had Carls, Jr. for lunch today! LOL I used to work at Carls, Jr. when I was in college. I love their food, but damn, they are REALLY expensive now. As far as Wendy's, the $5 Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger Biggie Bag is tough to beat! 😁

[@mpowe123]

99 cent deluxe double stack in the early to mid 00s => total lifesaver for broke ass college students. 😂

[@Jude_196]

Wendy's slogan used to be: "We don't cut corners"....THUS: the square burger patty!!

[@HiroForever]

Wendy’s meat is never frozen. Big difference

[@Kevron101]

heh heh those kids loving it. I cant eat that stuff now but I used to tear up a triple...and a large fries 👍🏽

[@squishypush6032]

The tripple is the highlight of my 3 years working at wendys. I cant tell you how many i ate 😂

[@sinnizster5038]

Fry's in the frosty is really good

[@karenjordan9607]

Yes ❤

[@djjo7757]

I use to eat my Frosty with hartz yeast rolls

[@htm1600]

Jolly, is one of my favorite shows on KZbin. Love to Josh and Ollie.

[@sheldondyck8631]

I don’t eat a lot of fast food but Wendy’s is my go to if I’m craving it. Anytime I’m in the city I stop there for lunch.

[@tamitatangoto5134]

I love their chili I always feel like it's healthy, the beans the meat the green peppers and onions,, I think it's delicious and healthy, really!

[@mil2k11]

Ahh. Memories. After two years of working grills, pos, drive-thru and such, I finally got the overnight shift at Wendy's. This was back around 1984. I'd just gotten out of high school and was starting my career schooling in September. So this was likely June of '84. All of our meat was stored in an outdoor cooler. It wasn't allowed to be put in the freezer - that's where 50+ bags of fries were stored. I'd pull out the bags of meat ( I think they were about 40 lbs each) and would set them up on my prep table. I'd bring out the Holly - that's the machine that turned the meat into square patties. Put it in the middle of the prep room and feed the pan on top with a bag of beef. I'd also slip in stacks of wax paper to use as dividers between each patty. The unit ran smooth. Patties would kick out every 3 seconds or so with a wax paper bottom. If one slipped or didn't have a bottom, I'd pull it and dump it back into the hopper. The square patties were simply a symbol of differentiating Wendy's burgers from the rest. The meat was better than most fast food establishments back then and I'm pretty sure it's the same now. I'd stack the patties in groups of 36, bag them, tag them with a date and put them into the walk-in cooler that was used for daily resources. There were things like salad bar items, cheese, etc in there. My typical night would be to produce 720 patties. The patties would then be used by the cooks on a a made-to-order basis. Any patties on the grill that surpassed its expiration time (approx 10-15 minutes) would be sent down the sleeve and into a collection bucket. That bucket - at least where I worked - wasn't to exceed 10 patties on a given night. But even if it was, they weren't wasted. Every single piece of meat that expired on the grill was saved, boiled and put into the cooler. These were the meat that would be used for the chili. Smart move - turn almost waste into a quality substance that can be reimagined. So, Wendy's chili is actually made of (at least this is how it was in the 80s & 90s) overcooked meat, that was later boiled to remove any bacteria & stored in bags in the cooler. We'd take a bag out of the cooler, add in a 10 lb can of chili seasoning and tomatoes, and we've got chili. It was already a huge hit back then, but potatoes became a healthy option for Wendy's and for some who wanted to partially cheat, they could lower their caloric intake by buying a potato, but adding flavor and protien with chili on top - maybe even with cheese. As a go-to burger joint that's easy to find anywhere in the US (McDonald's, BK & Wendy's), I don't think there's much question as to who has the best tasting meat in their sandwiches. I may give up some to BK, because that char does something, but when you add in overall menu options, BK quickly fades. I loved my 2 years working at Wendy's overnight. I didn't have a boss in-house. Whatever I did was on me. Keep the place clean & prep every thing so the morning shift is ready to go and the lunch rush shift has ample items to work the menu. It was fun getting done my night at 6am and getting a free breakfast every day. It was dirty. I cleaned both bathrooms and had to scrub all of the floors to make sure any grease residue was not longer visible. White between the bricks was the motto. I had to prep 100 potatoes every night which meant dumping them into a tank, scrubbing each one & then wrapping them in foil. I had to clean out the salad bar. Once the person in charge of it cleared out all the crocks, there's a ton of mess left behind which is on me. I clear out all the remaining ice. Double check the drain that it's not clogged. Rinse out the 15' pan with a sanitized solution and dry everything out with clean rags. At the end of my typical night, I check to see the bathrooms are clean & toilet paper, soap, etc is filled. I check the bricks where customers walk upon and make sure I see white lines between them. No laden grease. I then check the dining room to make sure the carpet's vacuumed and all trash has been taken out. I check the condiment counter to make certain the ketchup pumps and any others are full. Also make sure napkins are in place. Now it's to the front service counter. Check for any trash, etc under the counter. Check the Frosty machines (make sure they're clean and ready to go). Check the coffee brewer's got what it needs - thought coffee never was a priority at Wendy's. Make sure there are at least 100 ready trays w/ a paper liner for people to carry their food (that number is likely reduced by 80% in today's market), and finally, make sure there's starter money in each of the registers. Now back to the kitchen. Check that every cooking unit is on standby and can reach proper temperatures as soon as shift starts. Double-check grease in all fryers (fries, chicken & fish) to see if any need to be replaced. Finally, check soda system to make sure everything's working correctly and that we've got enough syrup & CO2 to keep the system going. That's it in a nutshell. My daily experience (well I guess nightly) working overnights at a Wendy's back in the 80s.

[@toddmadden9777]

I worked at Wendy's for ,like,2 hours, the Manager, said...'See this picture, make every ,burger ,look like this...if ,not,throw it in the chilli-meat pan.' He came back in like 10 mins. 'Where's the burgers!!' I said None of them look like the picture...so,I left...thanks, Todd from Ohio

[@interceptingfist5682]

Wendy's is underrated

[@hughfuller8416]

Fo for fo was the pentacle of our existence.

[@strangequark420]

Fries in Frosty ... that's A MUST. Chocolate Frosty.

[@Dreoilin]

Fries in a frosty is definitely 🔥

[@sfcub-Bill]

4×4 put the Nuggets in the JBC Burger! It's AWESOME together! Yum!

[@mia795]

Their taco salad that they made with the chili was phenomenal

[@karlsmith2570]

Yeah, they don't have Wendy's in the U.K.

[@kenbozu1]

What about Wendy's chili w/ cheese over the fries?

[@ericarachel55]

where is the chili?

[@abmqa]

The JCB is da bomb 💣

[@miltmarhoffer729]

Wendy's burgers are square because they don't like to cut corners

[@tamitatangoto5134]

Lol😂

[@lisablackburn1540]

Few people get people like us 😅

[@bln3576]

I worked at Wendy's at 13 here in Canada. 50 years ago. Had Wendy's for lunch today.

[@danboyisdopex9864]

It's cool you brought up Carl's Jr burgers because they get really underappreciated. I love me some Carl's Jr 🤤

[@Georgia_Outlaw_Vinyl]

I love Wendy’s but I’m the only one in my family that does so it’s rare I get it.

[@lisablackburn1540]

If I'm in the mood for Wendys, I'm getting Wendys whether the rest of the family likes it or not, LOL

[@Sulaeyes]

They are square so the meat can be seen! Where’s the beef!!

[@stevejones6247]

my first job was at a Wendy's

[@terrasmiley7076]

YASSSSS DIP YOUR FRIES IN YOUR FROSTY! 😜🍦😋🍟🤩🍦🤗🍟😘

[@82japanda]

The spicy nugs are heavenly

[@coleenluvscrochet3391]

I love Wendy’s… the chili the burgers, yes to frosty fries. One of my favorite things is the Asiago Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich. The nuggets are wonderful and the loaded baked potatoes. The baconator fries are to die for. I suppose you can say I’m a fan of Wendy’s 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@mariahaskins820]

In the Summer, strawberry salad, damn!

[@donnawatson845]

My nephews did the fry dip in Frosty years bk....was a big deal then. Lol..but yes...good quality fast food. Chili is good too

[@jackcade68]

I learned early that chips dipped in milkshakes is fair proper!

[@diannegrach6376]

No, I have not dipped fries in a Frosty. Something I have to try. The 4 for 4 is good and you get value for your money! Have you tried their breakfast? I like bacon, egg & cheese on a croissant. The coffee is actually good, unlike cough, McDonald's, cough. I've had Wendy's salads and they are tasty!

[@BM-hb2mr]

My boat use to be Docked at the same place Daves house boat use to be. Ive worked on it a few times for him it was a 65 foot house boat with a chandelier hanging from the main rooms ceiling. I never got to meet him befoee he passe away but i did meet his daughter. Very nice family. Wendys ise to be all natural meats and good potatoes but as time wet on like every other fast food joint the products went down hill. Its sad that our foods have more chemicals and additives that actually food. What a shame but i do miss Burger Chef. Sad day when it closed up

[@SGlitz]

I love their bake potatoes. (Yeah, i am that lazy sometimes) but its good.

[@stevejones6247]

I don't think I can wear a shirt and a tie and a jacket to school

[@squishypush6032]

Ranch or bbq depends how im feelin...fries w/frostie is...i get the double stack 5 for $5

[@george217]

"Sauce? Sauce? We don't need no stinking sauce..."

[@jimpatterson3286]

Between BK, Mc. And Wendy's. It's Wendy's every time.

[@yctakahashi6693]

You have to watch the Korean Englishman series when they take the high school boys to Korea. Same hosts here.

[@faith.s_mom]

JAMEL!! They're TEENAGE BOYS!! Of course they can eat 2 burgers!!!

[@jimpatterson3286]

Look at the lace around Wendy's neck. It says MOM.

[@grandadneal8114]

I worked at wendys in my youth and during a lunchrush a beautifully dressed lady was ordering a burger and a shake. As the bloke bought the shake up he slipped on the recently mopped floor and literally ended up throwing the shake all over her. I was on the register at the same time and as the shake was dripping from her head and neck down her dress I said "would you like fires with that?" Comedy gold I kid you not

[@timmunson7699]

Ask someone who used to work for Wendy's multiple times I can confirm that the meat is not frozen and that it is fresh it's just put in a cooler while being sealed

[@sherrylgoins4351]

❤❤❤ Try fries with Malted Vinegar its great❗

[@doubled334]

Wendy’s slaps

[@vincentglass1567]

Wendy's for me, I like the strawberry frostie (it's new) and the nuggets. I choose to have the regular ones and not the spicy ones. But I would never try French Fries in my Frostie or Milk Shake. That's just too gross for me. The hamburgers and other sandwiches are so good 👍🏾

[@mia795]

I'm with you on the 4 for 4

[@jimglenn6972]

I like the spicy chicken sandwich with pickles and onion…hmmmm!

[@marcgustafson6015]

J/J - my big thing isn't the fries into the Frosty, it's dunking the fries in all that mayo, ketchup, pickle juice stuff that falls out of the burger onto the tinfoil!!!!

[@thewhiteknuckler]

Amazing to see young English men being introduced to American drive through 😅

[@moe92870]

2:06 What? An 80's kid that hasn't dipped McDonald fries into a shake at least once to try it? No way. lol

[@bl_leafkid4322]

I know Frosties are good but i wish they had shakes

[@selfrealeyes]

I like the Chilli w/ extra hot sauce 🔥🔥

[@SGlitz]

😅In 'n Out oh yeah...5 miles from here...

[@rexlux3348]

Gabriel Henrique I STILL BELIEVE reaction, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BM-hb2mr]

Wendy's has the best Triple Cheese Burger

[@BM-hb2mr]

Bacon makes all food better

[@JoeBoone82]

It's crazy seeing the kids eating fried chicken, biscuits & gravy, fast food, etc.... what do they eat in Great Britain!?!? The don't have cheeseburgers? lol

[@mpowe123]

Fox and hound. Not the movie, actual foxes and hounds. 😆

[@gwilli9511]

Dip your fries in tartar sauce.

[@SGlitz]

Baconator!!

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

What is "foe for foe"? When we lived in the US for six yrs, my high school aged kids liked Five Guys best.

[@scottchapin2323]

That was fun

[@luhoffma8836]

Chili a is good alternative but too watery and too many beans.

[@benspurgeon6273]

I’m not a big fan of Wendy’s. I’d like to see these kids try Carl’s Jr

[@donnawatson845]

Where's a CARLS????

[@martymartinez737]

Wendy's burgers are bland as F, and they don't put any seasonings. If these kids are from the U.K., think that Wendy's is good, then I feel sorry for them.

[@coolcpa3321]

"Cheese is happiness." Irrefutable.

[@faith.s_mom]

Somebody give that poor boy some MILK~ water does nothing to counter the capsaicin!!! Wendy's over McDonald's any day of the week for me, BTW!!
