The Untold Truth Of Wendy's Chili

Показать описание

Most fast food fans hit up Wendy's for its fresh burgers, sea salt fries, and those delicious Frosties, which just so happen to be the perfect dip for those fries (sorry ketchup). But a small subset of drive-thru fanatics know that Wendy's is also home to some unusual menu items you won't find at other burger chains, like baked potatoes and chili. Since 1969, Wendy's has offered chili as an affordable side option, setting itself apart from the burgers-fries-and-shakes set. So why does Wendy's serve chili, anyway? And what's even in it? This is the untold truth of Wendy's chili.

I know this guy named Richard that swears by Wendy's chili. He gets it almost everyday. Big ups Wendys!

I worked for Wendys in the 90's we took unsold burgers and made chili out of it but the beef was real. Not some fake version of beef. I handled it. It was real beef

Word of advice, don’t even bother ordering it if you’re ever at Conway South Carolina

A 600 pound man by the name Richard is always there with buckets of the stuff for himself. He’s also made the employees buy him Pepsi from the local stores as Wendy’s sells coke

CE.

Of course they use left over meat for chili. What is wrong with that? It tastes good.

I actually love Wendy’s Chili. It’s delicious and filling. Not too salty and not too spicy.

The way this worked is we would have burger patties cooking on the grill, raw on the right and cooked on the left. As those on the left cooked more and more they would eventually dry out if not sold and we put them in a container next to the grill. When the container was full we put them in the refrigerator. Sometimes you did not generate enough "chili meat" during the day and might combine with yesterday's. The morning crew would weigh out the meat for a batch and boil it up to defat and soften, then after draining we chopped it up and put it in with the tomatoes, tomato juice, beans, and spices and cook for hours in a double boiler. I think you get at least one patty in a cup, Wendy's chili is delicious and a great value!

My first job was making Wendy's chili and still it's my favorite decades later.

I worked at Wendy's. I know how they make their chili. I still buy their chili over any other brands.

As a native Houstonian, I must say. There is a Wendy's on the seawall of Galveston, TX. To have a bowl of chili, walk across the street in Nov/ Dec. on a cool brisk afternoon. Sit on a bench on the seawall and eat that chili. That's a thin slice of Heaven!

Making use of the leftover burgers doesn't bother me or anything it's still good chili 🤷🏾‍♂️

Chili at Wendy’s requires a lot of prep and a lot of love goes into it...it’s super fresh and uses the meat not sold as the key ingredient. I worked at Wendy’s i give it a thumbs up

Their chili saved me once.... I was sick and couldn't keep anything down except for their chili and i actually felt better as soon as I ate it... I stand by their chili

harryballzonya

Well as a former Wendy's employee I can vouch that we use leftover burger meat for the chili

I have news for you, , from someone that has been in the restaurant industry my whole life. ALL restaurants use leftover food to make soup of days etc. Been happening since the beginning.
