dry small chicken


Is exactly what my buddy said he's gotten the last few times he's been to CFA for breakfast. He's been going there for years, and finally got to the point where he's given up. Says the biscuits are 1/2 of what the old chicken pieces used to be. It's simple, they cut them in half, sell 2x as many for the same price. More profit. Even though we've been paying extra already.

Punt.

I've never had that pile of whatever, but a 1200 calorie burger is not necessarily a bad thing, nutritionally speaking. I have had a lot of success losing weight with intermittent fasting and avoiding carbs. Nothing for b'fast, a heavy lunch with 1000-1500 calories, and a light dinner, frequently soup or a salad, <400 cals. If I have dinner about 6-7pm I don't eat anything for about 16 hours. Sometimes a have the heavy meal at dinner and a light one for lunch.

Being retired makes it easy to be flexible.

You young folks don’t know what a REAL Wendy’s burger is like. Back in the 70’s the burgers were bigger and the grease would actually run down your chin… good times.




I don't think it's been that long ago. Something changed in the meat about 10 years ago. It no longer had that fresh, hot and juicy taste to it. I also noted a change in the bun at about the same time. It's a shame really. Wendy's used to be my absolute favorite fast food burger.

There was a similar change in Sonic burgers just a few years ago... just a different taste to the meat and bun. Burger King triple whopper with cheese still has much less the same taste nowadays- that's my go to splurge every once in a while. The last time I ordered one and pulled up to the window the black lady said "it's always the skinny ones".

The triple cheeseburger is freaking outstanding.


Haven’t had one since my college days. Would crush a triple and then play three hours of basketball at the rec.

If I did that today, I would die

"a healthy alternative is the Wendy Jr".

What are your hours and how much do you charge?
