i called the psychic hotline and John Edwards (psychic dude, not the politician), waiting for whomever can get in touch with Dave first.

Eat enough Wendy's and you could probably meet him face 2 face...

Side Salad

Crispy and crunchy and just the right size. A vision of freshness. Salad greens and all your favorites: sweet, juicy grape tomatoes, crunchy cucumber and shredded carrots. Top it off with any one of our dressings, including some delicious lighter choices.

Contacting them now - to see if they'll post and give their side of the story...

:lol:

Did they try to charge you extra for the pickles once they realized their error?

allegedly

A thread like this is not complete without a definition post:

Pronunciation: \ˈlī(-ə)r\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English lēogere, from lēogan to lie — more at lie
Date: before 12th century

: a person who tells lies

Oh man, that had me laughing pretty good in the office. May have to go to Wendy's for lunch now. Hmmm.

I stopped at Burger King on my way home from skiing in our sick 3" blizzard, only to find a hand written sign on the drive through menu stating that they were closing at 6pm that day due to the bad weather. Someone who must have been as displeased as me wrote "What bad weather?" on the sign. I mean seriously, the storm was a dud, who closes BK because of a few inches of snow. When they closed there wasn't more than a dusting on the ground... :smash:

Wendys has the best fries ever.
The fries from Mcdonalds taste the same a few days later(they still suck), and BK, is horrible as well. To get the best fries, order them without salt. They will make them fresh for you. You can then salt them on your own if you desire.

for real?

for the most part, I think ALL fast food fries suck. I'm a bit of a fry snob though. Wendy's, even when fresh lack 'crisp'.

For real. I love their fries. My dream girl is a red headed pigtailed girl named Wendy. If I meet one I will ask her to marry me on the spot!

WRONG!!

BK's fries are the best out of those three. The batter type fries they switched to several years back end up being nice and crispy most of the time. Good fries need to have a crisp to them, IMHO.

McDonald's are the worst though.

This is correct.

Best fries (pommes frites) I ever recall having were in a restaurant in Germany not too far from the French border...white, crisp, and delicious. I'm sure they fried them in some sort of animal fat...

Most likely Duck Fat. There is no better way to make French Fries than frying them in Duck Fat.

There's actually a restaurant in Portland, Maine called Duck Fat. The owner is also owns Hugos and was named the best chef in New England this year by the James Beard foundation, which is the highest culinary achievement a chef can get.

http://www.duckfat.com/

I am 100% anti-chain restaurant. That said, if Rob were to franchise this concept, he'd be filthy rich.

I had pommes frites at lunch last Friday in Sherbrooke, Quebec. A different world from the soggy fast food version.

I ran into the same thing last night, planned on stopping at Five Guys Burgers only to find they were closed. Ended up at Taco Bell with one of those $5 NBA boxes, regretting that decision today.
