Gris, not counting eating the burger it took me like 5 minutes to type that up. quote:

Well, okay, but they better be as good and detailed as this Wendy's pretzel burger review!

I had one last week. I'll stick to my baconator.

The best fast food burger I've had in recent memory was the Whataburger Monterey Melt... that is until they ended it due to the coronaries.
Thing had 4000 mg of Sodium, 47 g's of fat, and around 1200 calories.

Here's the pretzel burger. I don't know much about what is healthy and what is not. I'm gonna assume this is pretty crappy..

I have a recipe for pretzel buns. They make excellent burgers. It's weird boiling bread then baking it.

The mater on a Wendys' burger used to be a .50 (per slice)markup on the cost. The increase from A to B versions were a sin for Dave to contrive.

Excellent review Mr. Balls. I read an OP ED piece the other day where the critic was saying that food reviewers need to out themselves because they get preferred treatment in order to influence their review and maybe pick up an extra star.
Do you find this to be true?
Regarding your special sauce comments, the only special sauce I will eat is the big mac sauce, and that is because I still find it as special as the first big mac I consumed back in (circa) 1968. I remember that day as well as if it were only 45 years ago. It think it was at a golden arch place in Tacoma Washington and I was a bright eyed young military guy on a three day pass or something like that. The choices were tattoo of a black panther with a bloody dagger through his head, or a Big Mac. I have never regretted my choice to blow my $0.50 on "two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun".
You know they never used worm meat in their Big Mac patties as so many people thought, because the corporate legal group got hung up on that all beef patty claim they had made for so many years and marketing's reluctance to advertise it as "two beef and worm patties,"....

They chefs at your local Wendy's are better than mine. My burger didn't look that good.
Have you seen the late night munchie deal? It's a double cheese burger, chili chees fries, and a large soda for $5. Where was this when I was in college.

I use this exact recipe with the exception of substituting beer for the water. Amounts are all the same.

pretty amazing that your burger looks at least near what the commercials show it is like. Nothing pisses me off more than getting something that looks nothing like what is advertised.

With that much protein/serving it's gotta be healthy!
Great review. I hear the pretzel dog at Sonic is great

I really like the pretzel burger. I've already had two and I'm not a huge fast food person.

I ate one a month ago and it was pretty solid for a fast food burger. Wendy's is my go-to when I want a quick burger on the road.
My wife's go-to is Burger King. I've considered divorce.

Wendy's ...... I will stick with then baconater.

Not a fan of pretzels, so I'll shy away.
Nice review though.
