Wendy's — Restaurant in Chico

I feel funny rating this restraunt, in my thirty years plus of being a chef, I've have been forced to "Moonlight" from time to time and it just so happens I helped open this Wendys oh so many years ago when my my daughter was born.

Let me first tell you, this is no franchise, it's corporate, and it was also a experimental restaurant design . Which attracted all sorts of attention from Wendy's big shots, and gave me opportunity to meet Wendy founder Dave Thomas, who was a hero and role model to me growing up. His devotion to serving the most fresh and wholesome food he could to the public even still runs deep in this company today as it his daughter Wendy even now continues in her father's foot steps.

So to the heart of this article, this Wendys is as it has always been a hub of freshness and taste, the menu hasn't changed much over the years and though the wait staff may seem to have gotten younger over the years, this Wendys food still provides the best most healthy food money can buy, and consistently sees to it you get value for your hard earned dollar in a clean and friendly atmosphere. You can always depend on Wendys be it Corporate or Franchise, to deliver you the freshest and healthest food you can order out. Thanks Dave, you set the bar high in the fast food world, and Wendy, relax, your dad would be very...

As I was out and about today - I decided that I would surprise my son, by picking up lunch for the two of us before heading back home.

So after I finished up my shopping, I hit the drive thru at the Chico Wendy's. The line was a bit long, but it appeared be be moving fairly quickly, so I figured that it would be worth the wait.

But upon arriving home with the groceries and the food that I had ordered - I found that although my son's order appeared to be accurate - that my order, which was supposed to be a "Taco Salad" was a container filled with lettuce, a little graded cheddar cheese and a few sliced tomatoes - and nothing else.

Despite finding a tiny packet of sour cream in the bag, that was meant to accompany this sad excuse for a salad - there was no ground beef, chips or anything else that would have made this little container of lettuce even remotely resemble one of the Taco Salads that Wendy's advertise in their commercials and on their ordering displays.

And while I generally enjoy my ocassional visits to Wendy's - to grab a quick and tasty lunch - today's experience was truly...

There's like 6700 Wendy's and if each 1 sold 200 cookies and it costs only like say 20 cents to make a cookie. They would pocket like 320 million dollars a year. So if you're wondering why every time you say that's it, that'll be all, I'm good, I'm done etc, And they don't hear you or care and insist on you answering them now you know. I don't trust them anymore because if I don't say anything after I say termination phrase and who knows what they're doing in the back on this food I find my food juicier when I do not respond and like no sauce on it whatsoever if I order a cookie so go figure huh.

The Internet said their coffee is bitter and watery. My choice was Taco Bell or Wendy's I chose Wendy's because. . . But they get this one star because ( I found it bitter and watery the cream and the sugar could do nothing for a large) if the Internet is telling everybody that their coffee is bitter and watery and they're not doing anything about it well they deserve a...
