Hello everyone, this is running on empty
Food review. Well, hello ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching. This is running on empty food of you
I am your host the report of the week and thank you for tuning in
boy, this week has been
Well, you look around in the world. It's been a rough one so far and
There's not always a lot of good news to go around you. Look at the economy. You look at the
possibility of what's going on possible downturn
of course, you see the situation with the the virus and it's it's tough sometimes to
Try to see any light out of what's going on, but Wendy's
Wendy says in the sea of darkness
we got breakfast and
Well that they do they did
Release their breakfast and well, I'm gonna try it out. Either way just don't seriousness. Please. Be safe out there and
Yeah, it's you know, you just gotta me got it. You'll get through it
That's the best way to put it Wendy's does have their breakfast out. They've been foreshadowing this for a long time
They've been trying to preview this. They've been saying oh, yeah, we're gonna get the breakfast out. It's gonna be the best thing ever and
Finally, it's out. It's here and
We'll see
They have a wide variety of items. They have some you know more inventive creations
They have some and more basic items and I'm just gonna try out two items here that just kind of caught my interest
And I will just go from there
So I want to try out the breakfast of baconator and then I also want to try out the maple bacon
Chicken croissant now the price for these items is the same either way
It's a $4 per sandwich and we're just gonna see how they are
so
Breakfast from Wendy's and I thought this is one of those things they actually would have had for a while
But it's a pretty new. It's a pretty new thing, you know
Obviously trying to get into the breakfast game
Oh
And I also got these the tater wedges as they say and
Okay, ketchup right there little packet of that so with that
I'm just gonna try I don't even know which one is which I
guess this is the
One with the bacon on it. And this is the one that is a ham burger right there. So there they are
I'm trying these out though breakfast sandwiches from Wendy's
And I don't know which one is which to tell you the truth. So
Let's open this one up this is gonna be like two-for-one, you know, two and one
breakfast foods can always be
It'd be interesting
Hit or miss I'm not the world's biggest breakfast eater. But if it's good, it's good. I mean what else can you say?
alright, so this is the breakfast a burger and
You know they were they were cheeky with this one like you sometimes see on their
Twitter
Obligatory miscellaneous comment about spittin fire
Right because that's just what the Twitter does
I
Didn't even know where I was going with that, but there you go
this is the
Breakfast Baconator though, but I was saying that they were being a little you know cheeky cuz it's not really a burger, dude
do not think that this is like a beef a
Standard Baconator, cuz it's not it's a sausage sandwich believe it or not. So it comes with the sausage patty
cheese American cheese
Right there comes with a bacon egg and then a Swiss cheese sauce
so that's what it's got on it and you can see kind of the
Source remnants right there. There's a breakfast sandwich
Yeah, we'll just try it out
So this is the breakfast sandwich from Wendy's and yeah, it's supposed to be like a breakfast burger, but not a burger
It's more like a sausage sandwich, but they gave me the impression initially that it was like a burger
But we'll just try it out. So this is the
the sausage baconator
Okay, just the breakfast Baconator from Wendy's going in
In all serious though at the beginning I know I was I was joking around but now stay safe
It is a very serious thing that's going on. But like I said, we'll get through this we'll get through this
Now since we have another review to do on top of this one, I'm not gonna be too long here
It's a very filling sandwich and it's a complete sandwich in that I mean it doesn't feel like it's really lacking anything
You know, they got the portion of size. It's all right, and it's all the right amount of egg the right amount of cheese
Even the Swiss cheese sauce
Right amount of bacon right amount the sausage, right?
It's not like it's too much of one thing or too little of another the sausage is very flavorful. The bacon is just thick cut
And taste it tastes good. I just have one issue with this
To me the sandwich tastes like it's too salty
I'll explain why
It's like the bacon of the bacon itself is very salty, right?
Even the egg tastes like it was seasoned with like salt and pepper or something. And then the sausage is really salty, too
So as I'm eating this that would taste good. It's like
While all the flavors blend together and the sausage is actually much better than I expected it to be
It's just like it's so salty
it's like you've ripped open a you know packet of salt and you just dumped it all over the thing and
That's my issue with it because salt is always good. So even salt and pepper seasoning
It's such a simple little addition that can really make an item
But too much of it of course can have its detriment and as I was eating this though, it tasted good
It was just this overwhelming
Saltiness I thought oh gosh. I got to get some water here, too
Too kind of quality
metaphorical salt lick as they say and
That's my one issue but quality wise otherwise it tastes good
Not a bad breakfast sandwich. But yeah, very very salty. That's so that's my one complaint about it
So, I mean I would attend all things considered for that
I would give it a 6 out of 10 6.0 out of 10 if it weren't so salty
I would have rated it a little higher but just because it's a little more on the saltier side
You know, that's why it has the rating that it has it's salty
Like how some may describe their Twitter account which is as they say spitting fire, right?
so well, that's the review for the
breakfast Baconator and
Next real quick. We're gonna try out the maple bacon chicken croissant. That was four dollars. This is four dollars
It's a little smaller this features a chicken breast bacon, maple butter and on a flaky croissant
There it is, there's the again as they say the croissant
and
there's the layer of bacon and then
What's below that
right is
the chicken
So that's what's on that and let's just try it out real quick
so this is
the maple bacon chicken croissant from Wendy's going in
I'm gonna pause the camera while I eat cuz I'm gonna have some things to say about this one
And I don't want to make this video, you know 20 minutes on I'll be back in a minute
Well, here's my issue with this item
Number one the bacon is good. Like I said, it's very similar to how it was on the other sandwich thick cut
Juicy flavorful bacon and you can see this is like a premium chicken patty. I mean, it's it's you know, it's thick it's juicy
It's a you know, good quality. I mean this is like
As far as um, you know, like chicken sandwiches for breakfast go. This is higher quality stuff
The the croissant is like it's buttery. It's flaky good croissant
And if you're saying well everything you're describing everything good. What are you complaining about? Exactly?
Here's my principal complaint
Something in that maple butter sauce
On this chicken sandwich just doesn't work
The sweetness is there that's you know, it tastes
Okay, I would imagine I don't know what it is
But there's something in that sauce that just clashes and it's a very obvious very evident clash. That just doesn't work. I
Try and it's us this very pronounced conflicting flavor that to me. It just does not go it does not
compute it does not work and
That's unfortunate because otherwise everything on the sandwich is quality. I mean, these are good quality ingredients
It's a good croissant the good chicken patty
Good bacon
But it says that sauce does not make it
Unfortunately, so out of 10 as a result, you know, sometimes you have a good item
But then the sauce it just it doesn't work and it just clashes with it and that causes issues so out of 10
I would rate the maple bacon chicken croissant
Probably a four point nine out of ten
You know, even though I had a complaint with the breakfast Baconator
It was a little too salty everything on it worked everything on it blended together
Whereas the maple bacon chicken croissant the ingredients were good and most things worked. But it was that one sauce that you know was everywhere
That just attracted in my opinion greatly from the overall experience. I
mean now, these are just your little, you know, potato wedges and
I'll give this tater a shroud as they say
Yeah
These aren't bad at all, you know thicker but well-seasoned and
Yeah
Those taste good, the little potato wedges there. These are good. They taste good
Thick cut but well-seasoned ketchup goes really good with them and I'm a fan of those
So it's taste good in my opinion and this is just from what I was able to try out
I don't know if the birds are trying to jam me or what but uh
That was a bad joke, by the way, here's when my in my opinion
What I've noticed from this Wendy's breakfast
The ingredients are high quality and everything looks good. And it seems like it's really put together
Some items are good to be better than others
I wouldn't say this is one of those things where the entire menu is terrible or the entire menu is
Da bomb right? It's a it's a mix. It's gonna be hit or miss
some items I think are gonna be really good some aren't
Obviously, I think the chicken sandwich isn't the best but the breakfast Baconator
Um, I'll be it a little salty is decent and these potato wedges are good, too
so I think it's hit or miss but it's good to see Wendy's, uh, you know upping their breakfast a game and
It's good - it's good to see so we're good on Wendy's for getting into the market
I'd say give it a shot it uh, you know, the things look good and uh, some things are better than others
But I don't hesitate to try it out
So thank you for by checking out today's review and analysis of the Wendy's breakfast menu
And again, please stay safe out there. I'll keep you updated and I'll get another video out your way
Soon enough. Thank you and take care. I'm your host the report of the week
