Hello everyone, this is Running On Empty ...
Food Review! Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching.
This is Running On Empty Food Review. I am your host TheReportOfTheWeek.
So Wendy's is making a few changes to their menu at early 2019.
And I think every place does is where they'll change it around a little bit. They'll add a few items
Take a few off, organized things and that's exactly what Wendy's is doing today
Wendy's made a few changes
Especially in regards to their burger lineup
specifically they added three new burgers and
it was
to make the analogy to say that it was like Russian roulette is that that's going too far but it was uh it was
It was one of them that immediately called out to me and then two of them were kind of iffy
Obviously as the title says one of these releases is the barbeque
Cheeseburger because honestly if there is one of these three burgers that I was gonna get I know it was gonna be that barbeque
Cheeseburger because I was like trying the barbecue ones out
But otherwise, I have like a mushroom and swiss burger, which I could get
You know McDonald's is doing that back in December
I guess that's that's the latest craze of the fast food world and then they have their they're all
all-knowing
omnipotent
Masterful (shawshawsolme) sauce
Burger that they also are premiering
I think they saw some bacon on that one
But I was thinking I was looking at the three of them and I was thinking, you know
Even though people might really be focusing on the schlocksohmome seems to last one not so much the mushroom one
I thought I really want to just try out that
Barbeque cheeseburger because again, like I said as a general consumer, that's what called out to me
And that's what I want to try out today
So on it, it's a pretty basic burger, but it sounds like it might be interesting. It's got a quarter pound beef patty
Crispy fried onions like, you know the onion strings
American cheese sweet and smoky barbecue sauce and
Pickles now the burger you can get it by itself
You can get it as a bit of a meal deal the price for this one. I'm pretty sure it was
$5.50. I'm not mistaken. I got the receipt
Right here. Make sure pretty sure it was $5.50 for the burger
Yep, five dollars and fifty cents on the money so, you know a little pricey
But if it's a premium sandwich and it tastes really good then, you know, maybe we will be getting what we paid for
So just have to see there. All right before we get into the review just a few little announcements
I want to make number one
I want to thank a few people that helped support this channel and radio show podcast on patreon
I just want to give a quick shout out to Cathy Foster,
The Trees Network
Thomas Forbes and an individual who goes by the name
David James Jacob Lindsey
The four of them just do a great deal to help keep everything going if you want to do your part to help out
consider supporting at patreon.com/thereportoftheweek
Likewise, now some of you will know this word-for-word, right?
All right, he's gonna go on about the sound cloud right get ready brace yourselves
But this is gonna throw you off
You you will not be able to comprehend this
Your mind will not be able to process it let alone digest it physically and mentally because that's not what I'm promoting
The matter of fact I did a lot of work over this last week
My radio show it still will be going out on shortwave
If you know I discontinued one broadcast, but it still goes out every Thursday Friday
Sunday, you know. They have the broadcast go in there
But I made a huge effort to also make it into a podcast and I added it to a lot of podcasting sites
You could find it also on YouTube
youtube.com/vorwpodcast
You could also simply find it on iTunes Spotify
tune in google play
stitcher
just by searching
VORW those four letters. It'll come up if you want to be in more detail though
VORW Podcast. It's a talk program, but it covers a lot of goods stuff really recommend to check it out
We've got all these new links even a pastebin file on how to how to tune in all that in the description
We're gonna maybe even try to squeeze a few in in the cards if that's possible
But in the description and the pinned comments and we're just gonna make sure that you know how to tune in effortlessly and easily
with that said
Now as the
metaphorical expression goes on to the Wendy's barbeque
cheeseburger of things let's go and
Try this out
This was made fresh got an extra recepit there
You were wondering whether that was a motorcycle a loud car it wasn't a matter of fact that was the burger
(An unknown entity enters the reviewing environment)
There's a bird, on the windshield... (Is it really a bird though?)
Hello Bird! It's part of my security detail (or so I thought)
Here's the bird dagur
That kind of rhymes with bird
you can see, you know, looks as described I mean
you know, it's
Not necessarily your no-frills burger, but you know, it's very basic
I think that's the best way to put it you can see there's two pickles
You can see the barbecue sauce right there on the bun
Likewise we have the bottom bun the onion strings
the
burger patty and
Cheese, so, you know, I think I said it's a very basic
burger
There we go. And again just to get that real close-up shot
no, you can see it's a
Freshly made burger two slices of cheese there one on top one on the bottom good amount of sauce
but again, like like we said
Very basic burger. I'm gonna try it out for you. I'll let you know what it tastes
Like that's all that I have. So it is the barbecue cheeseburger from Wendy's
Going in
And yeah, there's a... if only you could see there's this. Uh, I don't know if it's a crow or if it's a grackle or a
Blackbird. I don't know what it's doing if it's
Cleaning itself or going to the bathroom. I don't know what we'll just say that it's just guarding
You know
It really cares about this burger and it just wants to make sure you know that
That nothing nothing gets in the way of this review. So anyway
barbeque
cheeseburger from Wendy's going in
(In-depth Bird Analysis begins)
What is this THING?
Is it even a bird?? What if it's a dog that just looks like a bird?!
The realization is made, the epiphany has happened.
I know this bird better than it knows itself, and that fact is made clear at this moment.
Had to let him know
It needed to be done, this bird wasn't part of the security detail after all.
Double Agent
I'm gonna take two more bites
Bird: I think that your suit looks terrible, that's what you get for calling me out
He's talking trash about my suit it's not that bad
Awaiting response...
You know, I gotta say I was impressed by the burger sometimes when a sandwich is really good
You know, you don't really have the most to say about it
Because you're just satisfied with it. And this is one of those burgers. The beef patty wasn't overwhelming
It was tender juicy. Very flavorful tasted good no complaints there
that that sauce
They put a good amount of the barbecue sauce on it
I would say that it's more on the sweet side than anything else, but it really just blends in good
there's a good amount of it and then those pickles that they added on it really just give a good amount of Tang to
It so that's where it it just all blends together
Well, if you ask me like there's some sandwiches or you know
You could pick out ingredient by ingredient and you can say right
Well, this really stands out listen, and then there's others where everything just kind of goes in is us this melodious mixture
This is one of those sandwiches where everything just comes together. Well and
You know, it's I think they really did a good job on this all the ingredients tie together just into one good
Just overall good final product the cheese despite there being the two slices of it isn't overwhelming as I said
It just blends together good taste good and those fried onion strings
It does add this little bit of crunch where it's just it's detectable. It tastes good
It adds a little bit of texture to it, but it's not overwhelming at all
Now I would say the price for this at around five dollars and fifty cents is a little bit expensive just for a burger
But I'm not gonna complain this time around because you know, I'm satisfied with it
Like I said, if you like these barbecue burgers, you know, whatever they call them. Rodeo burgers barbecue burgers Bart
Yeah
You know
I think you'll like this one because Wendy's I think the sauce just is great ties it together and
They just did a good job with this one. So out of ten I'm gonna give it a 9.0 out of ten
I'm just satisfied with it. Overall. I think they did a good job with it. That's all that I have for you
