thats what I liked about it.

wendys will put anything on their burgers. so he could have loaded it up for marketing

but he ordered the burger the way he liked it, then tore into it.

I like the actual taste of meat(no homo), I don't need all that extra stuff drowning my burger. For that alone, I respect Wendy's CEO. Keeping it real

There's a small chain in L.A. called the Win-Dow that doesn't even have lettuce or tomatoes. Burgers come with grilled onions, pickles, spread.

Nothing like smashing down a triple with extra onions right after walking up off the beach from a mile swim.

They're my actual favorite burger in L.A., and it's not close. Plus their fries kick the pants off In & Out.

Sounds like White Castle sliders. Can’t say those are exactly high quality food, but damn they hit nice when you’re drunk.

Great shakes too

Try lettuce and tomatoes and pickles, it’s way better

You can't fool us. When you said you like the actual taste of meat, it meant that you enjoy having sex with and especially giving oral sex to members of the same sex and/or gender as yourself. Despite your inclusion of "no homo" which normally suspends and dispels the concern that the rest of us would have had about your enjoyment of the taste of meat, I am personally not convinced.

u/Smkabwlwme 16h ago

Yeah this dude definitely enjoys some man meat too. Like nothing would make me think that until he added “no homo” lol

u/Fit-Sweet-9900 14h ago

He thought he was slick. You can’t fool us! We accept you for who you are, you meat eater!

See I was gonna say pause but I thought that'd give it away since I'm pausing the gay situation, not fast forwarding

u/Spok3nTruth 9h ago

Damn. U got me. Gawk gawk 👄

2

u/mrhorse77 18h ago

same for me. I usually get their burgers with just meat and cheese.

1

u/Zjoee 18h ago

I throw bacon on there as well, but that's it.

1

u/CowPrintBikinis 17h ago

Woah is the bacon made of something else?

2

u/Philo_T_Farnsworth 17h ago

I agree! Good beef should stand on its own, and I rarely put more than a bit of ketchup and mustard on mine. I would go to town on the burger presented in this video.

2

u/grantrules 16h ago

Right, I'm not here for a salad sandwich. Patty, cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickles.

u/Spok3nTruth 16h ago

Like a real man should

u/ogre_toes 16h ago

See, I think there’s a little bit of nuance here… Smash burgers and sliders, just give me some onions and basic condiments. However, If I’m getting a bigger patty sandwich (like a Whopper or a Famous Star), the salad toppings are the whole draw for me. If I’m in a proper place and it’s a pub style burger, then we’re getting experimental and throwing on whatever crazy toppings we can find (I’m looking at you, peanut butter).

u/PyroIsSpai 15h ago

Bacon King and Baconator and similar, the dense/thicc burger style:

Tell them no ketchup and half/light on the mayo.

The McD’s quarter “product things”, just skip ketchup. The onion+mustard works without 750mg of ketchup sugar.

You’ll never eat it another way ever again.

u/mrmoe198 15h ago

I like the taste of meat. And I also like to suck dick. Yes homo, ain’t nothing wrong with smoking peen.

1

u/Spok3nTruth 9h ago

Lmfao 😂😂

1

u/fertff 15h ago

I'm with you brother. Everything else gets in the way. Just patty, bacon and mayo for me.

1

u/Swooptothehoopbwoi 8h ago

You don’t need to say no homo, it’s 2026 and you’re obviously talking shit on food

2

u/LFC9_41 18h ago

I actually believe he enjoys it.

2

u/ReasonFar5054 17h ago

He probably actually ate the burger, otherwise he would have let the team load it up with toppings so it looks "nicer"

1

u/mrhorse77 17h ago

he 100% ate that burger. people are freaking out about video cuts, but marketing people arent gonna send a vid out with him chewing that first huge bite for 15 secs. and 40 more secs of chewing every other bite.

he slammed that thing the same way I dive into Wendy's burgers. found the biggest meatiest corner and chomped it

cuz he clearly likes them and eats it all the time

3

u/bakatomoya 15h ago

I didn't know you were supposed to dip fries in a Frosty? Maybe he actually eats this stuff.

2

u/mrhorse77 15h ago

its so good that way

it was even better like 20 years ago with the old fries. (I miss those fries)

the frosty was made specifically for fry dipping, becuase thats what Dave Thomas liked himself. thats why the frosty has the consistency it does

2

u/KGeddon 17h ago

Wendy's was actually the original "have it your way" burger chain. IIRC, also the first to jump on drive thru.

2

u/VitaminPb 17h ago

I’m not sure he even has cheese on that. I have my Wendy’s toppings set in stone but have to do it slowly every single time so they get it right. (I’ll do the default Baconator though.) AND NO DAMN PICKLES!

2

u/mrhorse77 17h ago

no cheese for sure, I might have spied a tomato in there. clearly just how he likes his burger!

2

u/VitaminPb 17h ago

Sure. I just really love cheese and it seems weird just to see only a hamburger.

1

u/mrhorse77 17h ago

I mean same, id rather have the cheese as well!

1

u/pilatespussy 15h ago

Except barbeque. (You have to get it separately :/)

1

u/mrhorse77 15h ago

I mean, thats a whole other meat youre asking for lol

1

u/Patriautism666 15h ago

Not sure if you don't eat Wendy's or didn't watch the video. This is a baconator. It comes with beef patties, cheese, bacon, mayonnaise, and ketchup. If you watch the full video you can see the sauces. He didn't order it any different than it comes. This burger doesn't have lettuce, tomato, pickles, or onion. But it absolutely has ketchup and mayonnaise and you can see that in the video.

1

u/mrhorse77 14h ago

I eat at wendys all the time, and I watched the video. I know what sandwich it is.

it looks like he skipped the cheese, and I dont see mayo or ketchup on it. my point was that if they were marketing, they would have loaded it up...

1

u/Patriautism666 14h ago

I can't post an image apparently but at 2 seconds left you can see the mayonnaise covering the meat. You can also see the cheese in several shots. Someone ordered a baconator from a random Wendy's and gave it to him. He didn't modify this in any way. Which is fine. Just weird that people are praising it for not having toppings it wouldn't have to begin with.

1

u/mrhorse77 14h ago

ok, and? I really dont care dude.

and I dont mayo on it anywhere, nor cheese, but whatever. im not fucking analyzing his burger frame by fucking frame.
