Hello, everyone. This [is] running on Empty food [review] good afternoon to 20 in the afternoon
[to] 20 it is 20 minutes past 2:00 p.m.. And I'm here at Wendy's
Wendy's is an establishment that serves food. That's what Wendy's is. I don't know what else it would be but that's Wendy's for you and
Wendy's has came out with two new items lately as a matter of fact this week is actually been a pretty exciting and fun week
for fast food
Lots of new releases so [a] lot of work for me
But it's also fun because there's a lot of new things to try out, and this is no exception
Wendy's is bringing back sriracha folks
That's right. Not like sriracha was ever done or anything like that
But they're bringing it back and that they are they brought [back] two items now with sriracha being the signature
focus of the dish
they're
Sriracha Bacon fries
Which is essentially?
their fries are famous fries
coated in a creamy cheese sauce
Little Applewood smoked Bacon bits, and then it has got the sriracha Aioli sauce as well
Now what they also have is a sriracha chicken sandwich. There's one of their more
signature
Specialties chicken sandwiches has some pepper jack [cheese]
Infused with sriracha that'll be an interesting sandwich
But I was watching television and what I've noticed is that all the advertisements?
I've been seeing a pretty sriracha fries, so I think that's it. They're really promoting at least first, so I thought well
That's [what] I'm going to review first
So let's look and yeah, I got a fork here
So I'm not going to sit there like that one famous review or sitting there didn't know what to do with them
[alright] here. They are
There's the fries
blues the fries
[here's] our fork we can use that as a little pointer
That's a french fry right there
That's a french fries up the call french fry. It's made of potato actually
I don't know if you know what that thing was that's a french fry. It's what they call them
this here
is a mixture two-part mixture of their sriracha sauce as well as the creamy cheese sauce and
these brown things are pieces of bacon that comes from
comes from bacon piece
[alright] let being said
Let's just sink our fork in right here
So I keep clearing my throat
Forget it. Let's just eat
Boy doesn't let's look appetizing right here oh boy
nope
I don't really
Well don't really like to hold any personal bias to the food, I review
But I'll be honest. I'm not a cheese fries type of person
But I'm not gonna let that get to me it says
It's a very sloppy messy food, and this is not what I like
But I'm gonna focus on how it tastes and not how messy it is because people buy these for [a] reason
They know what they're getting themselves into I'm going to put that aside
But that's just my honest opinion
This will be here come on. You. This will be our last bite here
Okay, well
Putting aside the fact that they're sloppy and disgusting
That's how they are supposed to be it's not like they're supposed to be pristine so again
I'm not going to criticize them on that, but putting that fact aside
What do they taste like well I?
Was expecting for such a signature
Sriracha type of cheese fries as expecting there to be more of a focus [on] the sriracha itself now
Granted when you bite into those fries
you know
Some fries have a tendency to be
Really dry on the inside
It's just how it is [that] just a consistency how the potatoes are [just] sucks all the moisture out well
That's not the case of these thankfully this is a very very moist Dish here. All right
combination of the fries
This real thick creamy cheese sauce which also is now
Smothered on top of these hot fries allows that steam just to be trapped in there all right
It's a very moist dish very moist people hate [that] word
But I'm going to say a lot in this review, so get ready for it
It's a very moist this year now keeping that in mind
[dryness] is not an issue. Whatsoever. All right. You bite in they they really?
Texturally as well
they're not firm right you saw how they just
Walked over and bended when I had them secured with the fork here, all right. They're very flimsy and again
That's just because they're so laden with moisture. Okay got to [keep] that in mind
Now the cheese sauce is very very thick very flavorful
But very thick I mean to even just [call] creamy isn't isn't enough. It is very thick it's almost in part
Solid and one thing you're going to notice if this cheese [sauce] is that if you even?
You know if you don't guzzle all this down within
Seconds of getting if you just wait five minutes that cheese is already going to start to solidify
So it's not even going to be a creamy texture anymore it still going to have some [of] that creaminess
But it's really now there's going to be a very very thick liquid instead very thick [all] right
So keep that in mind very thick and as it begins to harden it also
Begins to envelop a chewiness to it you might be thinking the way
I'm talking about this this must have been sitting here for like ten minutes. No it hasn't it's been sitting here
maybe for about four minutes maximum
[alright] the bacon itself you can't taste. It's a shame. They didn't put a lot of it on it
You're not really going to be able to put [them] you'd be [able] to taste the bacon
They simply did that for decorative purposes everyone likes bacon there you go?
So that's the one thing you have to remember there, and now most importantly can you taste the sriracha sauce a little bit again?
I mentioned earlier you can't taste as much of it as I would have hoped for
When you really dig in there
When you really sink your fork in there and begin [eating] it you are going to get a little bit of that
spiciness from the Sriracha that does hit you
This is not a spicy dish overall however really. It's just going to be very cheesy and very thick and
You're really just going to be able to taste this [I] think it's a yeah I
Think it's maybe a liquid cheddar blend of cheese of some sort
You're really going to be able to taste that and that's really going to be the most
Prevalent Flavor then the Potatoes from the fries and then the sriracha Bacon being the last flavor there
So you like cheesy dishes?
Regardless of anything else you're going to like these fries if you're a sriracha freak you know if you just love your sriracha sauce
Pour a little cup of it every morning and drink it to start the day
You're going to be disappointed you're going to be saying well. Where's the sriracha here?
I thought I thought they really advertise this as being very heavy on the sriracha. So keep that in mind
[price-wise] for this two dollars two dollars for this I mean this
Regardless of what this is at least you are [getting] a nice loaded tub of this stuff?
So price is okay
[there] four out of ten ladies and gentleman what am I going to be rating these sriracha fries from Wendy's out of ten folks?
I'm going to have to rate these sriracha fries. Oh boy. [I'm] going to have to give these a seven point one out of ten
Just due to the fact [that] the sriracha
I mean, I wish you can taste more of that, and I wish you can taste a little bit more like bacon, too
Thank you for watching [ladies] and gentlemen. I'm your host footboard of the week. Thank you. We'll see you later. Take care
