Usually I don't eat anything before my jiu-jitsu class, since I'm coming straight from work. Not the smartest idea, but you do what you have to do. So, after class the other night I was ravenous and needed some eats. A simple 15 minute trip to Wendy's ended up being a one f'n hour trip because every single road was closed that night. So infuriating, but at least Wendy's is usually my go to for fast food and I had a laser focus to get there. I used to love Wendy's for the variety you could get on the $1 menu.
Unfortunately, this time it sucked pretty bad. Not sure if my palate has changed or the formula changed. The bread on the sandwiches are so disugstingly buttered now...usually buttered bread is not so bad, but this is cloyingly sweet and just has this bad taste. I've noticed this at other fast food and chain restaurants as well (aka Chili's). Add the dried chicken with some gross buffalo wing sauce.
Ugh...but, a couple classes later, I decided to give fast food another try and White Castle kicked massive ars. The bread did it's job...soft and perfect to soak up the juices, but not overpowering the meat in flavor. The meat flavor comes through and is nice and soft, and the onions give it great flavor. Great stuff and I think I will declare this my new go to...I mean Harold and Kumar did ride a cheetah to get there, so it makes sense.
