In the Wendys that I worked at we never froze burger and saved her for chili we always fried it fresh.
Every time I ate something from Wendy’s it gave me severe diarrhea. Can’t risk eating that stuff again! Only fast food place that ever gave me awful diarrhea!
I make my own chili but I did click just to be nosey ����♀️
love the way you descried the salads I used to eat daily, thinking I was healthy
I work there and I tell all my friends not to eat there. It would probably take me an hour to write out all the ingredients of each component for any one item on the menu
It does come from leftover meat it’s not bad why not reuse it the beans are fully cooked and frozen
Can you do a piece on dressings? I know to stay away from soybean oil, but I’m not sure what else to look out for ��
The real issue is why did they dump Double Stacks? They were better than McDs McDoubles. Their chili is just OK, too many beans & short on the meat -“Where’s The Beef!?” It’s actually better if put in the fridge overnite & nuked the next day, sauce gets thicker & more flavorful.
One of the healthiest drink options is any of the herbal teas. 0 cals. you can add milk or sugar if you wish which would change that obviously. Just a tea bag in water, and theres a wide selection.
This is the best channel of my life. I lost five lbs in five days!
I will say Wendy’s chicken sandwiches, and popeyes chicken sandwiches taste and look feel like chicken breast not molded ground up chicken posing as a chicken breast
real fruit smoothie with no fiber. what the hell?? Straight up liars.
Wym, I go to Wendy’s for the 4for4, 2for5, offers, and my free frosty keychain
I have spent most of my life eating fast food, many times 3 meals a day with junk food in between for weeks at a time. As a result I have irritable bowel, colon problems, a “slightly” fatty liver and possibly leaky gut. Last year I biked over 1100 outdoor miles and lost 67 lbs. Eventually I gained almost half of that back. Last month I began intermittent fasting with, acv occasionally, and now I’m so much more balanced. I have already lost about 12 lbs without the horrible cravings and, get this, all while I’ve been rehabbing my knee for the past 6 weeks without being able to do my regular cardio workouts. Blows me the hell away.
I’m not really on a keto diet per se, but there are elements of keto as I have cut way down on carbs and have added organic cage free brown eggs and quality beef into my diet. I used to crave food ALL THE TIME. Now I can do a 16 to 18 hour fast with such ease it’s almost scary. Great video, perfect topic. Bravo ��
I’ve watched this kind of video covering the exact same topic at least 5 times.
I’ve been eating it for 35 years. i don’t intend to stop based on your video. Judging by the comments, I’d say your video is a flop. Dislike.
Thomas i almost regularly eat these Fat Snax cookies they are very good and i sometimes have two and put cream cheese in between making them like an Oreo.
The next person who starts a super clean, real-food, keto-friendly fast food chain is guaranteed to be a billionaire.
What a shitty video. You guys should be ashamed to out out something so terrible.
Would you rather them throw away the meat? What do you think chili meat is…. cooked ground meat. Way to go Mashed, promote more food waste just what this country needs more of waste. I bet you like McDonald’s because they throw all of their food away and don’t use it for anything else.
Ah geez I guess I need to get some caffeine from Amazon… I don’t like coffee and bang/reign have asulfame k… thanks bud
Haha I love that bit where you spoke of the sugar! ’45 grams of sugar… *nods*’ I don’t like hot chocolate and cappucino:$ thx for the video Brad!
If handle properly Wendy’s practice are nothing to be affraid of. It’s a great way not to wast food.
I worked at Wendy’s about a decade ago. After the eat in section closed we used to drink and smoke pot inside while working and do other unsanitary things but one thing I can say is the chili if perfectly fine. The burgers are only allowed to stay on the grill for a certain amount of time and after that you put them into a storage container above the grill. There’s nothing wrong with the meat and they aren’t burnt, it’s just a QC thing. I still order the chili all the time after working there and making it myself so that’s how you know there’s nothing shady about it.
Maybe I’m in the minority, but I eat salad without dressing all the time. Sometimes, I will put cottage cheese on it, which I’m sure is better than most salad dressings. Also, there is such thing as real American cheese, not to be confused with fake American cheese. Some people lump all American cheese together as being fake. But there is a difference. Also, what are your thoughts about restaurants that actually serve real chicken? I haven’t fully researched it, but I believe more and more restaurants are doing away with the extruded chicken. I don’t think it’s that common anymore.
Thats the only thing they seem to talk about when come to Wendy’s. N the left over meat is only a day old. What els is new?
So Splenda kills off gut bacteria. Does that include SplendaZero? I’m 12hrs out from finishing this 48hr fast. It’ll also be interesting to feel if there’s a pothole in the incline of my gains, if I’ve carried thru, or made progress. Won’t understand for another week tho. Checking the shreds will be interesting tomorrow.
Seem like he talked about chicken patties and nuggets, but what is better (or less worse) fried chicken or hamburger?
I worked at Wendy’s in my late teens, I still eat their chili. The chili is also pretty healthy, if you are worried about sodium you can’t eat fast food at all. For the record Wendy’s double has more salt than the chili.
Thanks for the info! Chipolte salads are good with Gauc and pico de gallo instead of dressing. I’ve also found Jimmy Johns unwhichs and Five Guys wraps are decent dirty keto choices.
Arby’s and Jack in the Box? Lol. You had terrible taste in food. Those are the worst tasting fast food places out there.
Publix sells small reusable salad dressing containers with removable caps. Fill with it your own healthy salad dressings. Half olive oil, half apple cider vinegar, add salt, pepper and garlic powder. This keeps for a few days or longer in your desk or purse.
If you’re at a fast food restaurant and deciding between an entire wedding cake and grass fed sirloin steak, I want you to opt for the entire wedding cake
Who cares if it’s “leftover” hamburgers!! Geez, talk about not having anything worthy to report about!
Was a store manager all through college and I’ll still eat their chili. It’s the meat that sits on the grill after certain amount of time and is too dry for the hamburgers.
Who made this video? Wendy’s competitors? The narrator admits there has never been a documented problem…cites 2 employees to support a far fetched conclusion….you’re risking your health if you eat Wendy’s chili.
I worked at Wendy’s for 2 years in 4 restaurants. There was nothing wrong with the meet used in the chili. Since when is over cooked meet anything other than dry. Wendy’s hamburgers are moist. That’s the selling point. If the grill person cooks more meet than they forsee needing then the extra meet is used in chili. Big deal.
I travel for work alot. I keep my travel back pack stocked with stevia packets (without the dextrose or multidextrin) which are hard to find or a liquid monk fruit sweetener. Its been a life saver when getting coffee, tea, or any kind of drinks on the road.
Same things I have been saying for years, but you really have such a good delivery. well done, great informative video
This is dumb and mashed should get sued for suggesting the chili can kill people. This isn’t a secret and if it was dangerous health inspectors would have shut it down long ago.
The chili consists of over cooked and damaged while preparing patties. There’s nothing wrong with this and it’s environmentally friendly and not wasteful.
Can you show where you got your information on the incredibly high amounts of antibiotics in pork? It is against the law for farmers to sell animals/product with heightened levels of antis. If animals are given antis it is at a younger age to prevent disease to keep the individual healthy or if sick at an adult age, take dairy for example, milk from a cow given antis is discarded and if found in a batch of milk from a farm, the entire batch (hundreds of gallons) will get discarded and the farmer will get fined. Same goes for meat. Maybe you have seen information I have not and I would appreciate seeing it. Thanks!
Old news is old. Seen this before. Furthermore, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this practice. We all have tasted the results and they’re damn good not to mention a good way to minimize waste.
do Moes southwest grill and chipotle =) great vid as always =)
I work at Wendy’s, and I’m here to confirm/debunk.
That is false for most wendy’s. We do use the same hamburger for the chili meat that we use for the burgers, however, we specifically cook patties for the chili. If the meat has been on the grill for too long, it gets tossed. We do use water in the chili, but there’s also a lot of ketchup added.
Spoiled crybaby bitches. Sensitive little Karen’s. If you’re worried about this chili crisis, then you probably should leave all fast food restaurants alone
I have to say i loved the chili but the handling of the meat at the proper temp is key. The chili once made my friend and i violently ill…for almost three days if vomiting and you know what. Be careful
Hello Thomas, what are your thoughts on Braggs liquid aminos? Too many confusing mixed thoughts on this good/bad/no clue if it’s good/bad product!!! Or is apple cider vinegar better on a salad?HELP
What’s hilarious is he’s in better shape than what?? Probably 80-90% of the people in the comment section? He’s lost like 100 pounds on everything he’s talking about but yet here’s all the haters claiming he has no idea what he’s talking about…..cool….make a video and teach us what YOU know then
In The Netherlands we have more pigs and chickens than citizens…….☹️
Yes your getting beef with glycofates. I agree about the salads
disagree about the chili……….have ordered it a hundred times over the years, very good chili………….never got sick or even had a ””’bad batch””…….don’t care for you or this article……you both suck!
The only bad thing is the salt but that’s far food everywhere
No more bunless bacon burgers for me I guess. Didn’t know pork was so bad from fast food places.
This youtube video was brought to you by McDonald’s and burger King lol.

What makes him think beef doesn’t contain antibiotics? Does he think only pigs and chickens get diseases? Also, if he’s worried about ground up “leftovers” in chicken and sausage, I’m not sure why beef is exempt here, either. Trust me, they’re using the whole animal.
They used to make great chili last couple times I had it. It tasted gross it tasted like they use the impossible meat it was disgusting I don’t think I’ll ever have it there again
I’ve worked for Wendy’s for 15 years and the chili meat isn’t frozen. I’ve eaten the chili and it’s awesome.
I even have trouble with fast food eggs… I like to go to breakfast restaurants and order eggs over. never scrambled. Unless i see white & yolk… I don’t know if it has additional filler or crap.
The other question comes to mind… when a breakfast place throws stuff on the grill or cooktop, what oil/fat are they cooking with?
is it soy/canola based? If so, does that set you back?
Ugh this video is that one of that felt like she had to warm you about crossing the street… Like ugh if a car hits me I jumped on front of it to get away from you, MOVE!!!
Naw I see what they were trying to say but it’s far from the worst thing anyone’s eaten.
All fast food gives me a stomach ache these days-it didn’t happen to me growing up. And I can’t even smell KFC without turning ��…
I’ve been eating it for years…
You’re also inferring it has a good chance of giving you food poisoning with no facts to back it up….
Thats very irresponsible…
Double meet and wrap it in lettuce no bun no fries or salad.
I had no idea there’s fake cheese…we don’t have that in EU, yet ^^
Oh god. The sausage is my favorite part of a sausage mcmuffin. ��
#1 rule for eating at Mcdonalds: Eat off the dollar menu. That way you’ll have money left over for scratch-off tickets.
Eat only GOOD pork ( not bad pork ) with REAL cheese and a salad with NO dressing. EVERYTHING else IS crap.
That’s NONSENSE! I Don’t Know Who’s saying What or if the Process has Changed but I Worked at Wendy’s thru the 90’s (then they still had the all you can eat buffet bar) While going to School & Raising my Son & there Is Truly NOTHING Wrong with there Chili though I’ve Noticed there a few Ingredients they’re No longer Using But The Meat is Fine! They’re Really Suppose to be (or it was then) Cooked to order & any meat that was left for whatever Reason was placed in a warmer for a limited time then indeed bagged & Frozen & used within a ( i forget ) reasonable time frame for Chili. No more or no Less than What you Would do at Home. The Meat & Veggies was Prepared & Chopped Fresh EVERY Morning.. The Beans was then Canned Kidney Beans just as You would buy in the Grocery Store. After it’s Set Out the Chili is to be Discarded With-in a 2hr or So Time Frame & it’s Suppose to Be Made at least 4 times a Day to make Sure it maintains it’s Freshness & stays with in the Food Regulation Time Frame. So I Don’t Know Who Made this Crap Up but either They’re a Disgruntled Employee or Their Management & Staff is Negligent & Really Suck & YES!! There Meat is Truly Fresh Meat Delivered On a Regular Basis & NEVER Frozen!! Or at least it Was Then..
i always eat my burgers without my the buns but i i got salad with them.
Thank you for saying that about the fiber, I cannot eat gluten, so I decided to stop all grains. And I have a low thyroid,
So when I ate gluten I would gain weight right away and be bloated for days. Since eating keto My digestion is so much better
And after years suffering from constipation, it is gone, and I never have problems any more. Plus my weight stays stable.
I work at Wendy’s, añd from what I see, no meat is used that timed out on the grill, if the hàmburger meat is broken, say, I accidentally cut it in half with the spatuĺa, it goes in to the chili meat container. Thru mishandling, i have found while boxes of burger meat that was broken all up. since it cant be used for burgers, it gets used as chili.have any of the folks that did this video bothered to think about what disgruntled employees do? some aren’t truthful and want to smear their former employees. Or the Wendy’s THEY work at is doing shady stuff.
You’re an idiot. Theese are all the reasons TO ORDER the chili at wendys…..you have no idea about food safety. Try brushing up before you make an idiotic video next time. Kthanxbai.
I think we are being too critical of fast food chili. In fact I admire Wendy’s for finding a way to use meat that is left over rather than just throwing it out. there is too much food waste as it is and when we are talking about meat, that means a creature gave its life for that food. There is no reason to throw it out if it is still edible. Wendy’s chili is extremely affordable, extremely fast. If you want gourmet chili, go to a gourmet restaurant. Don’t blame a fast food drive-thru for serving fast food drive-thru food. Their chili is a tradition, and it is tasty and a good value, and I will continue eating it.
I usually enjoy these videos but this is just sensationalism. I worked at Wendy’s for two years in high school and have no concerns about eating there, including the chili.
Well oddly enough McDonald’s here in Canada actually only uses white chicken meat in their mcnuggets. But, I dont know about their other stuff.
You won’t scare me away from this awesome choice. That spicy chili seasoning they have too ��������
Thomas, could you possibly do a review on some of Sonic’s food when you do your next fast food related video?
