re: Anybody here ever work at Wendy's ?

Worked there as a teenager in the late 70's early 80's. The "Meat" truck came every other day as W-2 was a high volume location. The meat was in plastic bags that fit inside a milk crate, never frozen, and was formed into square patty's usually twice to three times a day. The patty making machine would have to have the meat fed into the top, and would press out the square patty's in 1/4 lb forms. The chicken was also fresh, never frozen and fried in a "Henny Penny", a rather large high pressure type deep fryer, in batches of no greater than 12 breasts at a time.

Tid bit for you, the meat for each burger ordered came directly off the grill and onto the bun, and any meat that was overcooked, was then boiled later on that day to remove the grease, chopped fine and added to the chili.

meat in the chili is really left over meat from the grill

Yep, boiled, grease drained off and chopped fine, back in the early 80's.

I have been known to get a Wendy's burger and then slide thru the McD's drive thru, on my way home, and get an order of their fries

I have done the same thing

I don't get why this mortifies people. Seems like a good use of product.

Exactly, the meat was never old, just cooked and boiled, and added to their chili the next day. I know I could still make that chili today with my eyes closed.

And here I've been thinking that 32 degrees was the freezing temp my whole life.

No fricking kidding. Like keeping your shite at 35 degrees is some sort of technicality.
