Hello everyone, this is running on empty
Food review the infamous car review scene is back
Unless this is like we got a we're going real high budget now. This isn't even a car
This is just a carefully crafted set with a green screen back there and in really I'm sitting in bed right now
But I'm making you think that I'm in a car, maybe I'm just in a car either way
We're trying out a new item from Wendy's and Wendy's is one of those places
Right there big everyone knows about Wendy's, you know
We see the commercials the ads but then put out too many new products, you know
They get a release here and there but not necessarily at the frequency of say a place like Burger King or a Taco Bell
So anyway, I think it's been a while
It's at least been a couple weeks since I tried out something from Wendy's but this has been making the rounds people are kind of
Talking about it. And I thought you know what I'm gonna get in on the action and see what this is all about
So here's what it is
Wendy's has a new sandwich lineup that has just come out just released. This is there bacon
Jalapeno cheese burger. It's an easy name this time easy to remember right straight to the point bacon jalapeno cheese burger and
You would you would think right?
Well this obviously has bacon and it's got those
Those gelatin yo peppers and it must have cheese on it and indeed it does here's what it comes with -
We'll talk a little bit about it. We'll get into it. All right, the bacon jalapeno cheeseburger
It's available for around six seven dollars depending on location, right the price is going to vary a little on the pricier side
Especially considering its fast food comes with a quarter pound beef patty
Pickled jalapenos not those pan seared jalapenos this time around applewood smoked bacon
American cheese
fried
Onions strengths of the onion strings so ready. It's a pretty big sandwich, but they said you know what?
We just got to go all-out with this one because there's more yes indeed. All right, it's got savory cheese sauce
So I guess that American cheese isn't good enough and then it's got smoky jalapeno sauce. It's got all this stuff
So I'm expecting a spicy
Cheesy burger a little bit of maybe that the onion that bacon. Hopefully it'll mix together. Well,
Now, you know one little trend and I think I already mentioned price for this. I got it for $5.99
I've seen it publicized on some websites at six dollars and 49 cents
So again, the price could vary based on your location. And again, it's straightforward
So I think I'm done with my notes for now
Here's what I just gotta say before we get into it. Okay?
Recently, there's been a trend of spicier
Items in the world of fast food right a few videos back. I tried out the
Carolina
Reaper fries from Taco Bell and then after that I tried out the Szechuan chicken
tenders my too spicy items and now we have
the bacon jalapeno
cheeseburger from Wendy's and
You know, I got to tell you jalapenos are a pretty new fad when it comes into the world of fast food
I'll give you a little brief history about it
You see jalapenos originally were made in the mid 90s by these two brothers in Seattle
they originally were starting an alternative rock band then they got into cooking and
they they cooked up these things called jalapenos in their garage and it was something that's just underground like
You know in a whole subculture
But it wasn't it didn't get to the mainstream so recently because of a lot of Instagram influencers
And it's a something that's really taken off in 2019, and they said we're going to incorporate these
Jalapenos onto a burger. Can you believe that?
And if you thought I was serious there. You just need just me to reexamine things
but
Jalapenos, though. It's always a classic always a staple and one thing that's gonna be interesting to try out. Anyway, is this the best new?
Burger that's new burger from Wendy's. We're gonna find out. Let's see what it looks like
Certainly I
Could smell you know what? Let me tell you the truth. I smell those jalapenos right now. I smell him
This might be a spicy one. I don't know
Here it is. Let's hold it up to the camera. Let's let's get doesn't go in here
Good enough
There's that close-up right? There is the
Picture perfect you can see it actually has the jalapeno seeds there and kind of see a little bit of everything that you can see
There that's the jalapeno sauce on the top that orange type of sauce see a jalapeno sauce you can see the cheese slices
And see there is a little piece of bacon
Right over there. You can see the beef patties
I guess the cheese sauces mixed in there somewhere
But it pretty much has everything that they said it was gonna have it
Looks like it does have the potential of being a messy sandwich anyway, so it's I mean, it's fairly organized
It's like it's dripping with stuff at least as of now, but we'll see what happens. So anyway, you know what's on it?
I know what's on it. We all know what's on it. Is it any good though? Let's find out so it's the bacon
Jalapeno cheeseburger from Wendy's it's going in!
Oh, yeah, let me tell you this is a lot more spicy than those
those Carolina Reaper flies from Taco Bell a
lot more spicy than
Szechuan
tenders I mean
you know how the jalapenos are one of those things that
Can be spicy
Or you can eat something with the jalapenos really good
Not really that spicy. It's all about the seeds
These have the seeds in them and let me just tell you right now these this is spicy. I got I got to admit
These are not a little watered down jalapenos and that jalapeno sauce has a kick to it. Let me just say that
Let me take another bite for you
Yeah, there are a lot of jalapenos on it
If you're more sensitive to spice and I mean, oh, you know
Like my buffalo wings, I'll eat the some spicy stuff
It's not like I'm someone that'll just go crazy get the hottest sauce in the world usually but I
Can sometimes deal up the spice but let me just say this is a type of sandwich
That I think you do need a drink to accompany it
Because what I really feel on my tongue and in the corners of my mouth there, I do feel that burning sensation
Thankfully I got this wrapped up. So disaster was averted
Right burger patty is juicy. It's a quarter pound of beef
You know, it is a good quantity for what it is and you can definitely taste that freshness there
Bacon is crispy and it's a cheesy sandwich
Let me just say that too and you could really taste that crunch that the onions have there
But the big star of this dish is the spice. Let me just say that outright
The spice is the most noticeable by far characteristic here
So if you were sitting here and you were saying yeah
I really want to taste those onion strings or the bacon which just a little tad bit of jalapeno and you'll be disappointed
This is a burger that you want to get. It's gonna pack that punch in the form of that spiciness because
Not only of course
Like I said the jalapenos every bite you
Taste that jalapeno pepper you get that little crunch to it may no it bite in that firmness
You know
there's gonna be a burst of spice in there and then that creamy jalapeno sauce really just works in there and
Yeah, every bite is gonna be a spicy one
This is probably the hottest sandwich
I've tried from from Wendy's now, I don't mean for you to take this as an exaggeration that this is like a says
You know the hottest thing in the world
But Wendy's is a place that doesn't really have a lot of spicy food on the menu, you know, they're more toned down
Yeah, they got the spicy chicken sandwich. That's like a black pepper or seasoned chicken patty. That's not bad now
This is definitely a lot more spicy than that
So spice is the big the big star here. Otherwise, yeah, you can taste the cheese. The one thing that I was missing on
It and I will just double check my notes real quick
was the
Savory cheese sauce. No other American cheese slices. I didn't notice that getting creamy cheese sauce on it
I don't think we're really gonna be paying too much attention for that
Because everything else is definitely there and it stands out but overall. It's a pretty tasty sandwich
I think when you get this, you're going to be expecting that spice. You're gonna be expecting that jalapeno flavor, right?
That's what you're buying this for and you're gonna get exactly what you asked it's gonna pack that punch
It's gonna pack that spice and I don't think you'll really be disappointed for what it is
my biggest complaint is really
Just the price do I think it's like a $7 $6 sandwich? No, I think it should be you know five
Four dollars if anything else so that's my one complaint
I think it's a little overpriced but at least know this if you're willing to fork over the dough for it
I don't think you'll be disappointed because you'll definitely get a flavorful spicy sandwich
So therefore out of ten what am I going to be rating the bacon?
jalapeño cheeseburger from Wendy's I'm gonna be giving it a six point one out of ten a little bit above average because again I was
Expecting that spice, but it was even a little more than than what I was even expecting of it
So I think it took beat out those standards just by a little bit. That's all that I have for you
