I am interested to know if anyone else has noticed some Wendy's locations serving a different kind of bun on their hamburgers. I noticed this for the first time in north Pueblo, Colorado. (Wait a minute, I'm speaking to movie people here.) Er, ahm..."in Pueblo, Colorado by the Cinemark Tinseltown". These buns (which would normally have a slight yellow tint to them) were "typical" white colored and tasted as if they were very much undercooked. The whole thing was doughey! (sp?...wait, is that even a word?) Needless to say this dry, doughey, underbaked "bun" not only tasted bad, but left me paying for it later when it digested...and I was only able to eat part of it!Now I am back in the Dallas area and I stopped at a Wendy's in East Mesquite on I-30 and AGAIN found that super nasty hamburger bun in use. This time I couldn't even eat 1/4 of it it was so doughey and as before, was feeling it awhile later. Of course both of these instances were purchased at the drive through where as Joe Pesci puts it best: "they #()@! you at the drive through!" So I decide to give ol' Dave Thomas one absolute final chance and stopped at a Wendy's in Rockwall, but went inside so I could launch it at the cook "just in case it had one of THOSE buns". Turns out it was the traditional Wendy's buns and all was fine. So my question is, surely there is someone reading these forums (either a member or a lurker) that knows someone who works at a Wendy's. I would like to know what the deal is. Do the franchises have the choice of:
A. Traditional Wendy's bun
or
B. Super nasty underbaked bun of death?
I just wonder why some locations are using it, but know nothing about how the fast food franchises work.

A&W has some of the best burgers money can buy. Of course the only one around me is up in the mountains, but it is worth the drive. They don't screw up your order like other places do. What's up with that? I order mine with cheese, mustard, light ketchup, and no onions. What do I get at most places? A plain burger with onions. Are you REQUIRED to be retarded to work at a fast food joint? I order them like that because that's the way I like them, and it also forces them to cook it fresh instead of giving you an "off the shelf" burger that they had sitting there waiting for you for two hours or more. This also works when you order "fries with no salt" but I rarely do that. Why do restaurants assume that everybody prefers TONS of ketchup and mayonaise, mysterious special sauce (with "secret" ingredients), one drop of mustard, lettuce, tomato and onions on their burgers? I guess they also assume everybody is the same.

Joe: Your post reminded me of the running gag in 'The Whole Nine Yards' about Canadians putting mayonaise on burgers. Bruce Willis and Mathew Perry have some hilarious moments with this theme in the film. And who could forget that wonderful exchange in 'Pulp Fiction' between Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta about fast food?But back to the topic at hand...whenever I go to Burger King I always ask for no ketchup or mayonaise, as they must then make up a fresh burger for you (plus I don't like those condiments at all) and same with Micky D's...I prefer Burger King though. We don't have Wendy's in Australia! Well, that's not entirely true; there is a Wendy's chain but they only sell ice-cream, not burgers or any kind of other food as far as I know. It's more like a Baskin-Robbins stand.

McDonald's at Grant Park, right around me, always screws up the orders. I'm not going to get to go anymore, because of the head, but when they use to ask us to wait at the "Special Order Parking", She'd say "NO!" and the employee would dissapear. I have to say that I like McDonald's French Fries. I also got to go driving to Arizona for Christmas a couple of years ago. We stopped at every McDonald's we saw, or so it seemed! I liked "JACK IN THE BOX" though. It was pretty good for a fast food joint. I like A&W and I like Wendy's, but Wendy's food is in such small porportions. Their large, or "biggie" as it's called is only the size of a small McDonald's french fries package. ------------------
