Things I learned about Wendy's, after 3 years being a training manager: 1) Their beef is (not sure about fresh) never frozen. 2) They really use a flat top grill. 3) Old meat from the grill is used as chilli meat. 4) They use legit applewood smoked bacon 5) The collar of Wendy has, "MOM" printed out. (Even though Dave T. never met his mother) 6) Wendy's is named after Dave Thomas' daughter, Melinda. 7) Square patties aren't original to Wendy's. 8) The all vanilla frosty wasn't introduced until until 2006. Chocolate was the only flavor since they began on 11/15/69 (I think) and was only 5 cents a cup.
alyssa damiano Nah theres a timer where we serve the meat and if it goes off whatever meat didnt get served you put it in a container that keeps it warm and when it gets full you chop it up and use it to make chili
You should do a price comparison at the end of these homemade/remake foods or make a series where you try to recreate a dish but better within a budget. Would love to see that :)
This isn't a "can I do it for the same price or cheaper" channel. OBVIOUSLY it's going to be quite a bit more expensive to do it yourself. But there is that tradeoff as always that the cheaper thing is going to not taste nearly as good. It's simple economics
Yeah, fresh Wendy's is pretty legit. Way better burgers than most fast food. I had a buddy who worked their for many years and always hooked me up with the freshest eats on the cheap.
I knew he must have been a stoner from the first video that I watched him. The reason I subscribed is because he said and some interviews and on his old TV show that I found that he's not into using Chef talk. And you can pretty much tell from his videos he explains in normal talk. But I had that sneaking suspicion being in San Diego and some of his references that he was a stoner
Yeahhh.... Must be fun at parties..., But I don't think Sam is a psychopath, he's very genuine and honest, don't know why you would say that, an example of psychopath would be onision.
More like 8 dollars, you’re not paying 20 plus on a handful of ground beef and a cube of short rib, and bacon is cheap, could make a dozen of em for 26 bucks
My first job when I was in high school was at Wendy's. It took me years to even contemplate eating from there after I quit. I'm 59 yrs old and have only eaten there out of desperation a handful of times since then.
Watching this at the beginning of May 2020... Something ironic about hearing somebody say "Hope your 2020 is off to a good start". Ahh, hindsight Nice burger though!
Watching this near the end of February 2021. Wonder what Sam is thinking of that statement now... I've eaten a Wendy's Baconator on a few occasions, and honestly wasn't that impressed. I'd definitely eat Sam's version of it though.
Just found your channel recently and just so you know I'm totally binge watching you... love how you take simple every day foods and make them... for lack of a better word....bougie!!
I live down the street from Wendy’s HQ and Dave Thomas did name it after his daughter. I can’t say how much he gave to our community. He was a huge advocate of adoption.
I like how calm and cool he is wirh handling the missing grinder attachment. He just goes to demonatrating what is possible with high quality well maintained knives and excellent knife skills. Afterall a coarse grind is quite similar to a fine chop or dice. Inspiring skill demonstration.
Damn that is one fine looking burger. The idea of adding an additional beef protein (short ribs) to enhance the flavor I would not of thought of. Great channel, great food and great presentation.
Cat Slayer any true burger lover knows that grinding your own is far superior. Supermarkets toss leftover scraps in a grinder to make theirs. I suggest a mix of short rib, chuck, and brisket.
I’ve just subscribed to you last night and I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I rarely comment on videos but your personality is so amazing and your food looks amazing as well! I plan to try so many of your recipes.
I worked at Wendy's twice in my lifetime. One of the morning tasks was to patty the meat. It came in huge boxes and we'd load it into the hopper, on top of the patty machine. This would have been around 1979. Years later, when I was working as a server in a Country Club, in Florida, where Dave was a member, he commented on our New England clam chowder. He said to me, 'I can get better clam chowder from a can.' I told him, in a joking manner, 'I can get a better burger at Burger King.' True story.
Sam, I absolutely love your show and your sense of humor I try to cook every recipe that you do each week at home and more than 30% of them work out LOL Not because of you but because I am blind but I i’m inspired by your cooking!
I used to be manger at Wendy's years ago. Burgers are flipped 3 times. On the first flip they give the burger a 4 corner press, because the patties shrink a bit. I cant remember if they are pressed on the 2nd flip, probably not.Salt is sprinkled on the top when laying the patties on the grill
alejandro manjarre They’re fire to people like us with average tastebuds but to a professional chef the smallest differences in a burger can make a huge difference
The knife is a Serbian hunting knife The original knifes were and still are made in Almazan in Spain for hundreds of years Other people have started to copy them and I also have one There great knifes
Watching this in October and I hear Sam say "Hope your 2020 is off to a good start"... Yeah, remember when we all thought this might be a good year? haha
I would say all it needs is some dill pickle slices.. of course your is way way better Sam, cuz the grade of ingredients is way way better to start with..
Someone should invent a ray gun called “The Baconater 6900” that creates perfectly cooked bacon out of the atoms from water. Yup, I’m totally stoned right now.
You are correct. Dave Thomas opened the first Wendy’s restaurant in Columbus, OH in 1969. He was quite the local celebrity here in Columbus until he died in 2002. I live within walking distance of Wendy’s corporate headquarters.
WOW! The burger bar has been set. The short rib plus the ground chunk is amazing! I did the carmelized onions and it was insane. No more boring burgers...
I'll be back, baby.
lookes so flavouring mmmm😃👍
I swear we think the same way when it comes to the food and def the knives..
I'll take the one on my left please 😁
You should do a tuna salad when your back
Grinding attachment??!! Do homemade brats with different fun ingredients!!
Wendy's burgers are square because they don't cut corners.
harrism84 I would argue the opposite to be true
@@Natuglen They're not sqaure because they cut corners? That doesnt make much sense 🧐
@@Natuglen haha, true or not...that's their motto/saying or whatever
They use square patties because then there's no empty space on the grill.
I thought it’s because they wanted their fresh, never frozen beef to show.
The guy who started Burger King is called Steve King, and he named it after his daughter, whose first name is Burger.
He named his 2nd child Pizza
@@spongebobsquarepants2175 Yeah. but Pizza took the surname from mother's side: Hut.

Larry Riffett be glad you don’t have to make the chili meat.
wym old meat from the grill?? like the crumbs😭
alyssa damiano the meat on the warming grill has a timer for how long it’s supposed to sit and after that it goes in a container for chili meat
alyssa damiano Nah theres a timer where we serve the meat and if it goes off whatever meat didnt get served you put it in a container that keeps it warm and when it gets full you chop it up and use it to make chili

"I hope your 2020 is off to a good start" Looking back, started watching Sam's videos and cooking way better so I guess that's a definite positive.
How about for fun: trying yours not fresh, then going to the restaurant at the end and get a fresh one of theirs?
He still used more meat and undercooked it like it should be.
Wendy’s is honestly really good for fast food I think
well thats a fact
I used a knife to grind a half pound of pork loin, last week, thx to your vid Sam.👍🏾It was fairly easy.
Not sure why I put myself through watching these videos while dieting
Sam: You're Fat
Also Sam: Here's a 2 patty, flattop artery clogging, delicious, beast of a cheeseburger.... with 6 slices of bacon.
