hello everyone this is running on empty
food review well hello ladies gentlemen and everyone watching this is running on empty food
review i'm your host the report of the week and welcome to this newest edition here we are trying
out a new release from wendy's you can kind of see me a little bit i'm trying to find the best most
comfortable position but i guess this'll do right this is this is good this is my hand right here
and this is where the sandwich is so what do we have what is this newest release i mean obviously
i imagine the video has a title and likely descriptions you can probably see what it is
here's what it is have you ever had one of those days where you know you're sitting there and
nostalgia hits right that happens to me and i bet it happens to all of us now it could be any era
you know maybe you see an old picture or you hear an old song or you know it's something that sets
it off and you're thinking you know back to a time that maybe you remember maybe you don't i mean
i think for some it's the 90s for others it's the 60s some people think i wish you know i wish
i could go back to the 1920s and see how it was and some people even go further back than that
they're like you know i wish i could go back to the medieval era you know i i saw myself as this
or that or the other thing but we all deal with nostalgia and there was a question that i got once
in an email and this is what it all reminded me of someone contacted me and they said i wish
there was a food that you could eat while you were reminiscing about the good old days as they say
wendy's read your mind and wendy's knew exactly what to release i think if you're
having one of those it's not an existential crisis so i guess it could end up being one
and you're sitting there you don't want some sort of food item that is over the top you're already
going through so much you know the last thing you need is some spice and it's just gonna be let's
not even go into that territory you want something good but it doesn't need to be over the top
doesn't need to be overly complex something classic and this is where wendy's read your mind
because they released the classic chicken sandwich features mayo tomatoes lettuce
pickles and a chicken patty it's a fried um you know like the crispy chicken patty and
that's what it comes with now classic chicken sandwich i think it's one of those items i don't
know where i was even going with the whole the whole extended intro and i'm wasting time here
but uh you know it's it's a basic sandwich and i'm surprised i actually haven't had it on the
menu already it sounds like something i mean look at it this way it's got chicken it's got mayo
lettuce tomato okay a lot of their sandwiches have that and uh pickles but they said you
know it's extra good and it's extra pickly and maybe it is right you know if you're sitting
there and having an existential crisis maybe it's the right sandwich for you i don't know
i was thirsty i don't know maybe it is maybe it's not we'll see here's what it looks like
in the wrapping right so you don't eat this i mean you know it's not recommended that you do
sorry if i'm not as high energy as usual today it's just been a very long day went over to the uh
periodontist for a consultation i'll get to that maybe while i'm eating but you can see
why you got your chicken patty there you know it's certainly your usual breaded
chicken patty you got the bun i think they even called it a premium bun somehow now they have this
giant lettuce leaf you can actually kind of rip it off if you want to use it as like a little bit
of a fan some people are known to do that all right there's that mayo we were talking about
and there is the pickle stuff okay one of the selling points that they claim is that
it has extra pickles looks like a decent portion of pickles you know i see three
definitive pickles right there so certainly i mean i guess i would call it pickley you
know i don't know maybe you would need a fourth one to really get into the pickley
territory you know there's nothing hiding under there but again you can see it's a crispy
chicken patty and that's what we have uh the price for this before we eat it is fine i got
i got this for five dollars 40 cents some people say that you can get the classic chicken sandwich
for just five bucks and wendy's on their website they advertise if you get it as a combo so you
get it with the fries and a drink or something then you'll get two dollars off so bear that
in mind you know i think it really depends what's your appetite looking you know how hungry are you
right what does that come down to all right let's just get the thumbnail here real quick or you know
we'll figure it we'll figure this out it'll be something like uh maybe like this right
yeah some something to that extent we'll figure it out we'll figure out some sort of thumbnail
to have and aside from that let's just eat it classic chicken sandwich from wendy's going in
so for those of you who have been following the channel for a while all the dental work you know
it's been it's like it's been one thing after the next after the next with me which it has
been
and earlier in the year i had two teeth pulled out you know just due to issues molar on this side a
molar on that side later in the year around maybe the middle of it you have to get a root canal
and a tooth here a root canal on a tooth here fillings crowns i mean all this work and it's
good though you know you're getting your mouth in the right direction and that's what's important
but the next thing is for this one tooth tooth number 30. it's a molar
you have to get a root canal on it and it almost needed to come out
but they said now i need to get what they call a crown lengthening done
that's a procedure they do at the periodontist and it is a surgery you know but it's not like
complicated or anything i have to cut away some of the stuff there and just expose more of the
tooth so i can get a crown on it properly it's a long story you know i won't bore you with it but i
finally got that looked at and i got it scheduled for next week so fingers crossed it goes well i
mean it you know seems like it's uh it'll be good but in the end it'll uh you know it needs recovery
so i'm gonna get it done probably next week and then a couple days i just have to take off eat the
you know eat the soft foods and all that stuff but it shouldn't be anywhere near as intense of a uh
you know a healing process as it was when i got the teeth pulled i mean i could probably
do the reviews again real quick afterward and just eat it on the other side of my mouth
so
um but if there does come a time next week where it's just like some random
videos or whatever just know that's why i just don't want because i'll have stitches
and everything in my mouth and i just don't want to i just want to follow the doctor's uh
instructions that's all they know more about this than i do and i'll you know
i just don't want to set anything back so if i do some random videos for a little bit that's why
but again it sounds like i'll be able to get everything back on track soon anyway
uh you know as i was explaining the sandwich earlier on and i was kind of playing it up in
a more comical uh regard i am i am pleasantly surprised with it it's a generic sandwich but
in a good way and i think that's almost what the name of this item uh almost emphasizes you know
the classic chicken sandwich right it's a classic sandwich it's not over the top that's true it's
not over the top but it's good for what it is and bear that in mind you have the chicken patty all
right it's got this crunch to it but it's juicy it's flavorful it's just good quality chicken and
there's a good amount of it too you could see the size of that thing i mean it was you know bigger
than my head pretty much but it was good and there was a good amount of it the mayo is there
it looked to me like there was it was going to be drenched in the mayo but it really wasn't i mean
it gives it this moisture personally i don't need it with the mayo next time i'd probably get
it without it but everyone loves their mayhem i know i know some people actually they take a knife
they scrape it off the top bun they run it through their hair that's actually a bit of a trend that's
going on right now where instead of using like the hair gels or stuff they actually use mayo
you look that up it's a real thing but um i'm not crazy about it that way it's fine on the sandwich
i mean if i had to eat it this way again i would it just gives it moisture but again i really don't
need it with the mayo but a lot of people do and i get it the tomato is good the tomato is
flavorful because the tomato is again it's very moisture uh you know moisture ridden um it is
you know not soggy you know it still has this firmness to it but it's flavorful but it's just
i really don't need that extra moisture from the mayo um you know the lettuce also gives a little
bit of a crunch a little bit of a crisp it's okay are the pickles so the pickles are very nice the
pickles are zesty i would describe the sandwich as pickle though i really would i think they
did a good job with that because it seems to me every bite you taste a little bit of that pickles
just a little bit of a tang that little bit of that zest that it possesses but it's good
you know there used to be a time where i didn't really like pickles all that much but i have grown
fonder of pickles in recent years so i like it i mean i think it's a good sandwich it's basic
do not get this sandwich and expect the world if you want a sandwich from wendy's that has
some spice and get the spicy chicken sandwich it's another good sandwich that i recommend um
if you just want a basic chicken sandwich with maybe a little bit more you know again you know
what it comes with i like the pickles i think it does a good job there i think it's i think
i actually put a couple extra pickles than usual i don't know but it seemed to me like it's just a
basic sandwich but it's good for what it is so out of ten uh seven out of ten you know that's above
average average for me is five so seven out of ten price uh considering it good quality good product
as well so that's all that we have for you ladies and gentlemen today's reviews for the classic
chicken sandwich from wendy's classically good i suppose one could say anyway i'm probably going to
get some rest now i've been up for a while i had a long day a busy day productive day that's it
that's all that i got for you it oh if anyone's curious what that is that's a uh antenna that i
got the other day for uh am radio it allows me i could turn this little a dial and i could connect
the radio to it and it allows me to pick up distant am radio stations so that's just if
anyone was wondering what that was that isn't the portal to another dimension um but who knows maybe
it is i'm not going to stick my head through it to find out but maybe it is anyway that's all that we
got i'm your host the report of the week thanks for watching do take care that's all for now
