The H. J. Heinz Company is an American food processing company headquartered at One PPG Place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company was founded by Henry J. Heinz in 1869.
Van Camp's Potk and Beans In 1882 Van Camp Packing Company was founded, selling catsup beginning in 1888. In 1894 his son Frank Van Camp is credited with the creation of the now-famous recipe for pork and beans in tomato sauce. By 1898 the Van Camp Packing Company had increased annual production to six million cans.
@@jwb52z9 Shortly thereafter, Van Camp secured a lucrative contract to supply Union troops during the Civil War.[2] Van Camp's pork and beans quickly became a wartime staple.

The one thing that I like at Wendy’s is their stuffed baked potatoes. They make baked potatoes stuffed with chili con carne and baked potatoes stuffed with cheddar and bacon. DELISH!
Guys, Heinz is NOT a British brand, it’s from Pittsburgh, PA. It was interesting to see you compare Wendy’s in the US versus Wendy’s in the UK! The Frosty is supposed to be like frozen custard (which is not the same as soft ice cream), so it’s a bit different from the McFlurry.
When people grow up with a product since childhood, they assume it is native to their country cuz it's what they've always known. I always thought Kit Kats was an American brand since I grew up with them, but they were created by the Brits. ;)
@@FEARNoMore true about brands. KitKat UK and KitKat US are made by different companies (Nestle in the UK and Hershey’s in the US) & are flavored differently as a result. Kind of like a franchised (is that a thing?) candy bar. :-)
@@lynnf9453 My point is Kit Kat, is not American despite a lot of Americans thinking it was born there. It was created by Rowntree's of York, United Kingdom. Like Heinz ketchup & company was created by American Henry J. Heinz in Pennsylvania. Yes companies have expanded their divisions & licensed or sold products to different regions & countries under sometimes different distributors & differing their recipes to suit certain countries. But Kit Kat is not American so we can't claim them just like they can't claim Ketchup. lol
Those Frosties were definitely not the right consistency from the start! They looked like they were served before the mixture was cold enough in the machine. I have also never heard of letting the Frosty melt and sip it like a milkshake. People here use a spoon and/or dip the fries.
@@Jack_Stafford Heinz is an American brand from Pittsburg. Based on the name alone, the founder was probably of German descent which is actually the most common ancestry for white Americans.
Does anyone else finish the frosty first before eating your other food or is that just me? I like when it’s thicker/not melty (better for dipping I guess and then using a spoon instead of a straw). Adding an edit based on some replies: I was only thinking about when you get it to go (carry out or drive-thru). I can’t recall the last time I actually sat inside at a Wendy’s, likely 10+ years ago 🙂
@@alanarnold4217 I agree, that’s why I pointed out it’s better for dipping. By other food, I meant burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries that aren’t plain, etc.
Calm down it's an honest mistake. When you grow up with a brand you think it's from where you are. I always thought growing up Kit kats were American but they are British. It happens. ;)
Yes, Heinz is an American brand but it's known worldwide and offers regional products to its customers, not just the American versions. Ironically for example, Heinz Baked Beans are exported from the UK to the US, so not everything is available in the US. That would explain why I never saw Heinze Baked Beans in grocery stores, it was always Van De Camps, Hunts, Libby's, and other brands. I've found some odd Heinze products in the international isle at my local Commissary at Fort Eustis in Newport News, Virginia like the Baked Beans that I've never seen or heard of before.
@@halicarnassus8235 Haha Really they did? Are you sure they weren't just trolling their subs? Don't they sometimes like to play dumb to patronize people like waiters. Play dumb to entertain each other? I mean it does have the word "Kentucky" in it. lol
@@FEARNoMore actually KFC stopped branding itself as kentucky fried chicken a while ago. in many places it’s only called KFC without any indication of what the acronym stands for because the acronym is meaningless to many outside of the us
Surprise surprise, they complained once again. Y’all how about just stick to fish and chips with a hot tea and stop going to American fast food places.
The Brain Trusts are at it again ! “The Chili Cheese Fry’s tase like they have Chili, Cheese and Potato” ROFL. I did throw up a bit in my mouth when he used his finger to pick his teeth GOOD GOD ! And the little Snob Scrinched up her face even before trying the Nuggets. These two are hilarious !
I think it bears remembering that this is not daily common food fair in england. I imagine many Americans if they went into a English food chain and was presented with some very unusual combinations or foods that they had never had before might have similar reactions trying it for the first time, often things don't taste like what they look like and sometimes it's just down to if you didn't grow up with it, you're not going to like the taste of it. It doesn't make you a bad person it just means you grew up with different types of food. I mean there are whole societies that eat raw oysters and raw fish and beef tongue and crawdads and all manner of different types of things that I wouldn't eat on a daily basis. The component parts are sourced differently, chickens and eggs are different, bacon is different even in Canada let alone the uk, they have different rules about food safety and food ingredients.. and they are trying to replicate a classic American fast food menu. So I can't get too upset with them taking a bite of something completely foreign and not immediately loving it unconditionally. Sometimes you have to develop a taste for something or sometimes it will just never taste appetizing or worth getting instead of something that you've known your whole life.
@@Jack_Stafford- Completely foreign? It’s a burger bar, they are everywhere here in the UK, it’s hardly exotic. You’re giving them far too much credit. Spitting out food like that where other people are eating is disgusting, I sincerely doubt there was anything wrong with that chicken nugget, she hadn’t even tasted it before she started overreacting.
Why in the world would you order ice cream frosty's before eating your meal, unless you planned on consuming them before they were basically milk? Eat your food WHILE IT'S HOT, not 20 mins later when its cold and not at it's fullest taste potential. Then get your Frosty's as you are leaving.
As a American Midwesterner, whwre Wendys was born, that stuff is life! From Frosties to Jr. Bacon cheeseburgers, I approve of this in every way. They better have Wendy's 4 for 4 meal deals over there. And I'm gonna be real, no Wendy's in the states has those touch screens outside McDonald's
BK AND McDonald's have started using the touchscreens in the Midwest I am in Northwest Indinana and most of them have had them for the last year or so.
Taco Hell had one in Reading Pennsylvania in the early 90s The Monkey Ds didn't get them here until remodeling stores, I prefer mobile app more, but 12 minutes wait for a 1/4 is ridiculous
Chicken burger? I even heard someone call a fish sandwich a fish burger. For most Americans the a burger is ground beef on a bun named after the German city.
It's been explained that in Britain, any sandwich served on a burger bun is referred to as a "burger". I think I remember that a regular hamburger is referred to as a "beef burger".
why are you sucking a Frosty through a straw? You eat it with a spoon like ice cream. A Frosty looks like a milk shake in a appearance but it eats like an ice cream because it's thicker then a milk shake.
If she really loves Salmon everything, you guys should come visit the Pacific Northwest in the U.S., specifically Multnomah Falls Lodge in the Columbia River Gorge East of Portland OR. The first floor of the over 100 year old lodge is a gift ship and restrooms and the second floor is a restaurant with an old school fire place with beautiful ceiling windows to view Multnomah Falls herself and the restaurant has over dozen items on there menu that have fresh catch Salmon, like Salmon tortellini, Salmon Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms, Fresh Grilled Salmon with steamed veggies, fruit, and cheese slices! The reason they have fresh Salmon is because the lodge is right on the Columbia River and about 20 miles east of the lodge is a Salmon Fish Hatchery!
Wendy's used to have salad bars a long time ago and it was SO good. Ate there at least once a week with my work buddies! Now what I like is the Wendy's single, baked potato with sour cream. And the chili is good and of course a chocolate frosty.
As someone who is nearly 70 years old. I can remember enjoying various Wendy's delicacies before they pulled out of the UK. Looking forward to trying out the new one being built near where I live when it opens.
I have high expectations for when you guys try fast food in England, but then I realize the U.K. bans a lot of preservatives that makes the food awesome. Lol
Uk bans un necessary ingredients that are bad for your health. Overcooked chicken is better than under cooked chicken & we don’t soaked our chicken in chlorine.
@@joshrees3413 Americans have always did better at making food. It sad that the UK fail so bad at making food. "From my experience." But then I am not talking about Trash fast food joints. They are trash in America and UK. I am talking about real food, from real mom and pop businesses.
When I’m tired of watching foreign UA-camrs who pander to Americans, I can always count on you two to blast us with your full-British non-researched candid instant opinions. And then I can laugh at myself for being ruffled about them. Thank you!
As an Ohioan (Where Wendy’s was founded) This is a fast food place I have grown up on. Their fries dipped in the chocolate frosty is my fav thing there. And a strawberry frosty was actually introduced this summer. But I’m pretty sure it’s limited addition.
"chili cheese fries sounds American" lmao, what you need is some carne asada fries! I'm not sure what's funnier Lia spitting out the chicken, or the face she gives the camera right after lol Lia a legend!
Chili cheese fries does sound american, it's a combination of things you normally wouldn't think would go together, carne asada fries sounds more Spanish or Mexican and not something you would find at a traditional American fast food chain said chili, fries and of course cheese on hand and somebody decided to put them together one time. Most burger joints and diners would not have carne or asada unless they were Mexican food themed. Chili cheese fries definitely sounds more american. A local variation is chili Frito pie, which basically was a small bag of Fritos with chili poured in the top and shredded cheese sprinkled on top.
I guess part of the problem with the frosties were, they looked completely melted which is basically just chocolate milk or plain milk for the vanilla. The only time my frostie is ever that melted is if I get it delivered or I have to travel home and there's crazy traffic. It sucks that the UK cooks their chicken too long cause the spicy chicken sandwich is actually really good when cooked right. And the baconators at the Wendy's near me are always good with the flavor. So, I wonder if that's another UK problem. But, it might be all the grease. Your baconator didn't look all that greasy. So, could be that. You'll have to try Wendy's again when you come back to the US and hopefully no more spills for Lia!
As a fellow Diet Coke drinker, I have found that fountain Diet Coke never tastes the same as pre-bottled or pre-canned Diet Coke. It’s always off. My tip: add a shot of regular full-sugar Coke into a majority Diet Coke fountain drink and it seems to “fix” it.
I worked at Wendy’s in the 1980’s while going to college. If they still make the food like they did then, I would recommend them over the places serving frozen meat patties. I can say that I don’t like the chicken sandwich they serve now compared to the way they were made years ago. The chili is still good. I miss the salad bars.
I miss the salad bars too! When I was a broke college student in the late 80s/early 90s, I LIVED at the Wendy's salad bar, stuffing myself with all the food there for super-cheap!
I miss the sald bar as well. Also worked at Wendy's twice. Late 80's early 90's and again mid to late 90's. The chicken sandwich is better than any other fast food place. I just get it without pickles.
Back in the early 1980s, they opened a Ponderosa or Bonanza steak restaurant near London. We drove 80 miles to eat lunch there. It was very good. I’m sure it has closed by now.
Hi there! I never knew they made it over to the UK. There are two left in the state of Ohio where I'm from. The food isn't that good these days. In the 1980s it was really popular though.
I used to love going to Wendy's because they were open until 2am, they always made the food to order. The chicken was never dry, nuggets were made to order. It took a little longer to get your food but it was fresh so it was worth it.
can't believe how long it took you to actually eat your food. You talked and talked and talked and did stuff and your food just sat there. Do you like cold fast food?
Lia's upset they didn't have salmon. :-). She's right about the burger patties being bland, though. They changed them back in 2011 and they went from one of my favorite fast food burgers to one of my least favorite.
I guess it depends on how you look at it. The founders of the company were Germans, they started the company in America I guess so I guess that makes an American company? The woman who is going to inherit the whole thing is from mozambique. I guess I think that's different than people that were born in bred in America and then start a company rather than immigrants coming here starting a company and then calling that an "American" company. I can guarantee it doesn't work the other way around, if I were to move to Germany and start a company they would not consider it a German company even if I became a German citizen. Which is very hard by the way, just being born in Germany does not make you a citizen. Even if both of your parents were also born in germany. There are literally generations of people living in Germany that aren't granted citizenship status. They have specific rules about this kind of thing. So certainly an immigrant starting a business within their borders would not in any way be considered german. Even if you were born there.
Lia makes the ugly face before she actually tastes it @11:30. Why eat fast food if you don't like it?! None of them are meant to be a regular diet and they certainly aren't a bargain price wise. Buy decent food at a store and make it yourself....it's healthier and cheaper!
Americans don't really know any better in most cases, unless it's a rare one who has the money to afford healthy/organic food. Poor Americans in general don't have the experience with food in most cases to call it 'bad'. We're basically bred, at this point, to automatically like anything fatty, salty, greasy, or fried by default.
You two seem to eat a lot of commercial food. I find it odd. Every time I go to a new place I tend to seek out the local flavors, the really run down places that everyone still raves about.
Hello I am an American who just returned home from London yesterday. I love your video very funny. A comment on the cooked chicken. Wendy’s usually does a great job cooking their chicken and keeping it nice and tender and moist for sure. I purchased some pre-cooked breaded chicken patties from the Sainsbury’s Local in Chelsea only to discover it was raw inside. Half cooked. I went back and bought another and it was the same deal. It was supposed to be fully cooked all the way through.
Ever since I was a little kid I’d get a child size frosty. You can eat it with a spoon during your meal as you would a milkshake. Whatever is left you take the straw from your drink and sip the melted frosty. I never dip my fries 🍟. Some people just really like the salty with the sweet.
I have no idea why that is. When i was a kid, i would order a burger, fries, and a chocolate shake. It was tasty. These days, i guess i have developed an acquired distaste for things sweet & savory, except for a burger, fries, and coke. Somehow that is different.
Heinz is American. When then chicken nugget got pulled out my immediate thought was what did they do to that chicken nugget. Here they look nothing like that. Classic Wendy's frosty is soooo good with McDonalds salty fries. Even the fries were looking cooked differently. I wonder if it is the oil they use in the UK. I am not the biggest Wendy's fan but the British Wendy's looked sad.
I have a hard time understanding why so many countries over cook their meats, makes no sense and most of these fast food establishments I thought have cooking timers. Really wonder if the milkshakes really are made with ice cream or some other ice cream like concoction,lol. Wish it had been more satisfying for you, but Thanks for taking us along.

You said Lia eats a lot of salmon. Does she by any chance ever check her mercury levels?
You're supposed to eat the frosty with the spoon, and if you leave it to sit as you did, it should be stirred to make it consistent.
Heinz is an American brand Lia, funded in Pittsburgh in late 1800's, a mistake alot of Brits make.
Pittsburgh is my home. Still here . Yay Heinz 😃
The H. J. Heinz Company is an American food processing company headquartered at One PPG Place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company was founded by Henry J. Heinz in 1869.
And introduced caned baked beans to the UK. They took them and ran with the beans!
As a born Pittsburgher I approve
That's true, but a number of Heinz products, like the beans, were never sold in the US until food imports and specialty markets became a thing.

They don't have a brand. They're entertainers, just like Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin. They do slapstick comedy.
triggered. the word is triggered.
The frosty’s looked melted not thick like they should be.
As an Ohioan (Where Wendy’s was founded) This is a fast food place I have grown up on. Their fries dipped in the chocolate frosty is my fav thing there. And a strawberry frosty was actually introduced this summer. But I’m pretty sure it’s limited addition.
When it comes to dipping sauce for your nuggets at Wendy’s their honey mustard is a must.
Eat the frosties before they melt!!
It's fast food, for goodness sake! If you want gourmet food, go to a real restaurant!
"chili cheese fries sounds American" lmao, what you need is some carne asada fries! I'm not sure what's funnier Lia spitting out the chicken, or the face she gives the camera right after lol Lia a legend!
Chili has beef Liz
Chili cheese fries does sound american, it's a combination of things you normally wouldn't think would go together, carne asada fries sounds more Spanish or Mexican and not something you would find at a traditional American fast food chain said chili, fries and of course cheese on hand and somebody decided to put them together one time. Most burger joints and diners would not have carne or asada unless they were Mexican food themed.
Chili cheese fries definitely sounds more american. A local variation is chili Frito pie, which basically was a small bag of Fritos with chili poured in the top and shredded cheese sprinkled on top.
A mass shooting in downtown Orlando leaves 7 people hospitalized. The assailant is still at large
I guess part of the problem with the frosties were, they looked completely melted which is basically just chocolate milk or plain milk for the vanilla. The only time my frostie is ever that melted is if I get it delivered or I have to travel home and there's crazy traffic. It sucks that the UK cooks their chicken too long cause the spicy chicken sandwich is actually really good when cooked right. And the baconators at the Wendy's near me are always good with the flavor. So, I wonder if that's another UK problem. But, it might be all the grease. Your baconator didn't look all that greasy. So, could be that. You'll have to try Wendy's again when you come back to the US and hopefully no more spills for Lia!
Not the first ever Wendy’s in the UK. Wendy’s was in the UK in the late 90’s and then closed down all their stores. I used to work in one
Give Lia grilled salmon on a roll and she will be happy.🤣😂
😂😂
As a fellow Diet Coke drinker, I have found that fountain Diet Coke never tastes the same as pre-bottled or pre-canned Diet Coke. It’s always off. My tip: add a shot of regular full-sugar Coke into a majority Diet Coke fountain drink and it seems to “fix” it.
Sour cream & chive baked potato was the way to go.
I thought for sure Lia would stage a fall at the Wendy's for commemorative sake
I worked at Wendy’s in the 1980’s while going to college. If they still make the food like they did then, I would recommend them over the places serving frozen meat patties. I can say that I don’t like the chicken sandwich they serve now compared to the way they were made years ago. The chili is still good. I miss the salad bars.
I miss the salad bars too! When I was a broke college student in the late 80s/early 90s, I LIVED at the Wendy's salad bar, stuffing myself with all the food there for super-cheap!
I miss the sald bar as well. Also worked at Wendy's twice. Late 80's early 90's and again mid to late 90's. The chicken sandwich is better than any other fast food place. I just get it without pickles.
I love the fact that you can get a baked potato from Wendy's. No other fast food place offers it and they're so good!
I like how because the beans they eat for breakfast, for some reason; are Heinz, Brits think that Heinz is a British product.
Those nuggets didn’t even look the same as in America. I do want a frosty now though
Dear God, who is telling them to dip fries in a Frosty... Frosty is for desert.
Lol, you must not be from the Midwest
@@papanicks I am also not stupid.
I think you already had your mind before you went in that you were not going to like it.
You and Joel have come so far over the years! Still love your videos!! Great work, J&L.
Back in the early 1980s, they opened a Ponderosa or Bonanza steak restaurant near London. We drove 80 miles to eat lunch there. It was very good. I’m sure it has closed by now.
Hi there! I never knew they made it over to the UK. There are two left in the state of Ohio where I'm from. The food isn't that good these days. In the 1980s it was really popular though.
I used to love going to Wendy's because they were open until 2am, they always made the food to order. The chicken was never dry, nuggets were made to order. It took a little longer to get your food but it was fresh so it was worth it.
Pancakes would be on the breakfast menu
Video recommendation: Lia blind tests water.😁
Your wish is my command
You never let your frosty sit and melt.i go back and order one after I eat most of my meal if I'm not dipping my fries in it.
"Excuse me, you're not a child."
"It's for my 'inner child.'"
It’s just smaller portions.
can't believe how long it took you to actually eat your food. You talked and talked and talked and did stuff and your food just sat there. Do you like cold fast food?
I can't eat hamburgers anymore so I always get the salads at Wendy's. Nobody else can beat those.
Lia's upset they didn't have salmon. :-). She's right about the burger patties being bland, though. They changed them back in 2011 and they went from one of my favorite fast food burgers to one of my least favorite.
Actually unfrozen frostys and bland meat probably tailored menu and flavor to English palette! 😆 Room temp and no seasoning Perfect
I miss the old burgers and fries 😢
Joel: "Go on. Dip it again." Lol He did that before with the biscuits n gravy. Love it. 😆
We don't have vanilla frosties, we have the original chocolate and now the new one is strawberry
The best thing at Wendy's is the chili. Also you do know that Heinz is an American company right?
I guess it depends on how you look at it. The founders of the company were Germans, they started the company in America I guess so I guess that makes an American company? The woman who is going to inherit the whole thing is from mozambique. I guess I think that's different than people that were born in bred in America and then start a company rather than immigrants coming here starting a company and then calling that an "American" company.
I can guarantee it doesn't work the other way around, if I were to move to Germany and start a company they would not consider it a German company even if I became a German citizen. Which is very hard by the way, just being born in Germany does not make you a citizen. Even if both of your parents were also born in germany. There are literally generations of people living in Germany that aren't granted citizenship status. They have specific rules about this kind of thing. So certainly an immigrant starting a business within their borders would not in any way be considered german. Even if you were born there.
@@Jack_Stafford We are all immigrants.
@@Jack_Stafford "The H. J. Heinz Company is an American food processing company headquartered at One PPG Place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania."
Lia makes the ugly face before she actually tastes it @11:30. Why eat fast food if you don't like it?! None of them are meant to be a regular diet and they certainly aren't a bargain price wise. Buy decent food at a store and make it yourself....it's healthier and cheaper!
Next time get the Frosty when you finish eaten! No Melting Required
An American door that really surprise me what are your doors like that it’s so different?
Fries dipped in the frosty is soo good
No one calls them chicken burgers in the states, I've noticed y'all always say that. We just say chicken sandwich.
The Baconator looked delicious, so did the chili cheese fries! ♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Use a spoon on the frosty.
Americans expect this food to be awful, so no surprise. You two always sound so shocked when it's dog food!
Americans don't really know any better in most cases, unless it's a rare one who has the money to afford healthy/organic food. Poor Americans in general don't have the experience with food in most cases to call it 'bad'. We're basically bred, at this point, to automatically like anything fatty, salty, greasy, or fried by default.
You two seem to eat a lot of commercial food. I find it odd. Every time I go to a new place I tend to seek out the local flavors, the really run down places that everyone still raves about.
Yes
Well that’s you. They might find YOU odd
@@maliamalis6389 They're entitled to. We're all entitled to opinions.
Lately here in America they replaced the vanilla frosty with a strawberry one. So now your choices a strawberry or chocolate.
Strawberry frosty's are for summer only.
Chili cheese fries tastes like chili on fries with cheese? Whoda thunk it?
Those nuggets do not look normal
Hello I am an American who just returned home from London yesterday. I love your video very funny. A comment on the cooked chicken. Wendy’s usually does a great job cooking their chicken and keeping it nice and tender and moist for sure. I purchased some pre-cooked breaded chicken patties from the Sainsbury’s Local in Chelsea only to discover it was raw inside. Half cooked. I went back and bought another and it was the same deal. It was supposed to be fully cooked all the way through.
Good grief. It's Wendy's...not a French restaurant. You ought to eat at home.
Did they put a barrister on retainer before entering?
As an American who loves fast food I almost never go to Wendy's. It's not very good.
In N Out is the best in my opinion 😋🥰
Ever since I was a little kid I’d get a child size frosty. You can eat it with a spoon during your meal as you would a milkshake. Whatever is left you take the straw from your drink and sip the melted frosty. I never dip my fries 🍟. Some people just really like the salty with the sweet.
I have no idea why that is. When i was a kid, i would order a burger, fries, and a chocolate shake. It was tasty. These days, i guess i have developed an acquired distaste for things sweet & savory, except for a burger, fries, and coke. Somehow that is different.
Heinz is American. When then chicken nugget got pulled out my immediate thought was what did they do to that chicken nugget. Here they look nothing like that.
Classic Wendy's frosty is soooo good with McDonalds salty fries.
Even the fries were looking cooked differently. I wonder if it is the oil they use in the UK.
I am not the biggest Wendy's fan but the British Wendy's looked sad.
No, you've shouldn't have sued, because you weren't injured, or disfigured. Unless it's all about the free money for you.
I have a hard time understanding why so many countries over cook their meats, makes no sense and most of these fast food establishments I thought have cooking timers. Really wonder if the milkshakes really are made with ice cream or some other ice cream like concoction,lol. Wish it had been more satisfying for you, but Thanks for taking us along.
As a general rule (I think), if it’s not called a milkshake on the menu it’s probably not made from ice cream.
Thanks, I didn't know that.
I didn’t even know people got a vanilla frosty.
The wooden utensils are a hoot.
Not the first Wendy's in England. When I was in London in the 90's, there was a Wendy's just off Picadilly Circus.
They're not old enough to know that Wendys was in the UK for quite a while before they left until recently.
@@jwb52z9 this is even the third time Wendy's has had a go at the UK market.
Yeah it can be too late to bring a lawsuit for a slip and fall. Normally 3 years.
How long did it take you to finish this order? Was anyone waiting behind you? Are they skeletonized, or still decomposing? Good grief.
Its a chicken sandwich. Not a chicken burger!! A burger is beef not chicken.
Baconator is my favorite fast food Bacon cheeseburger
