Fake McRib

[Tenbatsuzen]

So on the way home from Home Depot for the house, Liz and I stopped at Wendy's for dinner.

I usually get a grilled chicken sandwich, but something new on the menu caught my eye..

Wendy's Flavor Dipped Sandwiches.

It's a chicken breast dunked in BBQ sauce.

So I got one.

It comes with onions and pickles, and has the same mouth-feel, similar taste, and texture as a McRib.

But the damn thing is just OVERLOADED in sauce. It's TOO saucy.

So it feels like a McRib, but it's not.

Thumbs down.

I haven't enjoyed a lot of things about Wendy's lately. The handspun frosty shakes suck ass, the flavor dipped sandwiches blow... the addition of Arby's food can't come soon enough.

[weekapaugjz]

I agree with you about wendys. I haven't had it in ages cause the last few times I went, it was shit.

Arbys for life.

[ChrisTheCop]

Isnt "fake mcrib" an oxymoron?

[mikeyboy]

Wendy's blows. Fast food in general sucks a dirty asshole.

Exactly. I'll eat Nathan's once in a while, maybe Ranch 1. That's about it.

im pretty sure arbys bought wendys in april.

[Contra]

The only fast food I eat anymore is wendys, but I don't try anything fancy. Just a double stack with bacon, small fry, small drink, and I'm golden!

[donnie_darko]

if you dont enjoy the food, why the fuck would you eat there?

only thing i get from wendy's is that triple cheeseburger, and thats a rare occasion... grease bomb..

[ChimneyFish]

Except arbys.

Curly fries are good.

The Roast Beef is so bad, it should come with a cup of garbage juice to dip it in.

I could swear I've had a decent chicken sandwich from there before, though.

As long as I can still get a chicken, bacon, and swiss or french dip and curly fries I don't care if they bought a shit production plant.

mmmm....garbage juice...

I believe the correct term is garbage au jus.

[Heather 8]

Arby's blows, and the curly fries are the nastiest shit ever.

I usually stick with a single (no cheese, kthx) whenever I eat at Wendy's.

[NewYorkDragons80]

I've managed to go 2 months without fast food and I feel fantastic. Come to think of it, I think I've eaten grain-fed cow like twice in the past 2 months. I like Moe's and Chipotle, but most of the bigger chains just lead to immediate regret after eating them.

[torker]

That's crazy talk.

Lock this garbage thread. NOTHING is like the mcrib, REAL OR FAKE, EXCEPT THE MCRIB

Well, it certainly is redundant.

I used to like Wendy's the most b/c you could get kind of a meal there ... my favorite was chili with baked potato and a couple small bacon cheeseburgers. Haven't had that in awhile. I'm stuck at work now too. Fuckin' starvin'.

Dave Thomas dies and it all goes to hell.

Dude. There loaded baked potato bites are fantastic.

And the Turkey Bacon Ranch wrap rules.

Wendy's fries are awful, but nothing can beat the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. It's way up on the list for me when it comes to a comfort food. If you're interesting in making some of your favorite fast food meals yourself, check out this book:

[BoondockSaint]

Nothing could ever duplicate the orgasmic deliciousness of a McRib.

And Burger King now has a great commercial with two guys in a Wendy's drive thru. They order burgers and then get asked if they'd like a baked potato. "A baked potato? Where are we, Russia?"

[PapaBear]

mmmm....garbage juice...

I believe the correct term is garbage au jus.
Actually, it would be garbage jus.

It annoys me when restaurants say "with au jus juice". That means "with with juice juice".

[PapaBear]

Except arbys.
Love their chicken salad!

[dino_electropolis]

thank you thank you thank you.....the saddest thing about the mcCrib is that they are always around for only a limited time. Disgusting, yes, but who can deny the deliciousness?

Getting a Wendy's McCrib tomorrow......light on the sauce.

That chicken sandwich is the best. I cheated on it with the Burger King Spicy Tendercrisp for a while, but now I'm nostalgic for that one.

This one kid used to get "a spicy chicken, double beef, and add bacon" at Wendy's in high school. It cost like $8.50 in 2000.

That's weird, I had the price of the Wendy's Spicy Chicken combo memorized (the #6). When I was in high school, it was $5.05. I had one at the beginning of the summer and I think it cost me over $7.

I got that. I just figured the gimmick wouldn't work if I just said "garbage jus".

Remember the hot, individually wrapped Wendy's breadsticks you could order individually for $.35? Those were rad. The menu sucks now, except for that one sandwich.

I remember that movie - that might have been the first of those throwaway movies that was written to the peak popularity of something.

Like wasn't there an MMA movie lately? I looked at the trailer for that piece of shit and laughed. Some kid... he's got heart... he trains ... and then he goes and has a big fight. And there's a girl involved. The MMA Kid.

I don't remember seeing Rad but here's the story behind that... young kid and his bike... he's got a dream, he's got heart... he rides hard and trains... he has a big race. There's a girl involved. The BMX Kid

that pretty much sums it up, with the exception of the guy who doesn't want the kid to get his dream. and i loved this movie as a kid. there was part of the big race called "hell wall" and i would always ride down a knoll at my grandparents farm that i always imagined to be hell wall.

i love how a thread about a shitty meal at wendy's turned into me discussing one of my favorite shitty 80's movies.

The Hot Dog thread referenced my favorite shitty 80's movie too (http://www.ronfez.net/forums/showthread.php?t=73269). They go together, easy food and cheap entertainment.

Wendy's blows. Fast food in general sucks a dirty asshole.

their chili is awesome

[Thebazile78]

This particular sandwich disappointment is why I only order the chili, baked potato and light lemonade from Wendy's.

And the chocolate frosty. Junior size, please. Any more than that and my head hurts.

In fact, a baked potato used to be my default "the dining hall is closed and I'm freaking starving" meal when I was in college.

God i miss the 80's.

Wouldn't a fake mcrib be known as a "mcfib"?


:lol::lol:

[King Hippos Bandaid]

I try my hardest now to avoid fast food joints


I bet that fake mcrib is from that awful .99 cent chicken sandwich with fake white meat

Wendys is the best of the crappy 3



but if I want a Burger, it is FIVE GUYS

If I want a Chik N Sandwich it is Chik Fil A

You poor, deprived people! You must come to Texas and get some reall BBQ!

McDonald's fries for life. But you don't have Whataburger up there. Nothing beats it. YUM!

There are some who would argue that TX BBQ isn't really BBQ because it's beef.

I wouldn't. I love real BBQ. Carolina, Memphis and TX style. It's all good.

And I choose to ignore Whataburger. I prefer In 'n' Out.

[Judge Smails]

Thanks to this thread I tried this sandwich for lunch today and I gotta say that I thought it was fabulous. It had just the right amount of sauce on it, so I guess it depends on what Wendy's you go to. It was all white meat chicken - crispy on the outside and hot, moist and tender on the inside. The onion, pickle and BBQ sauce combo really gave it a McRib feel but, as mentioned above, the meat is real as compared to whatever it is that they put in the McRib. It gets the Judge Smails seal of approval.

Yeah, I'm not big on the whole regional BBQ debate. I just like what I know which is Texas style. I <3 beef.

And trust me, if I had In 'n' Out I would never go to Whataburger again but I don't have the choice.

[burrben]

the bbq one does suck but they also have a buffalo-dipped chicken with bleu cheese dressing that isnt bad

Don't mind the wife, she's elitist. For what it's worth, I like Whataburger.

We actually have a good In n' Out story... we introduced the hoity-toity to the joys of In n' Out and 2-Buck Chuck.

[Freitag]

There are some good things on Wendy's Menu which are enjoyable...

- Vanilla Frosty
- Fries
- chili
- Just regular burgers. They are very sloppy, but they're good.

I've been really dissatisfied with all forms of Chicken from Wendy's lately. Their chicken breast (grilled) used to be really good and now it sucks.

The best is taking a baked potato and just dropping a whole bowl of chili on that sumgun.

It's hard for me to find fast food I actually like nowadays.

My parents are retiring to Arizona, so we make a yearly trip out there.

We eat In and Out at least twice while we're out there.

Ah, that explains it.

And I totally agree about finding food you like. My husband and I are the same way. We cook so much at home that most restaurant food tastes mediocre to bad.

We only go out now if it's somewhere like Ruth's Chris where we can get GREAT food. I still occasionaly get fast food for lunch since I'm a lazy ass and hate packing a lunch.

I realized exactly what the term "country club set" meant when we pull in, sweaty and hot from driving around all day, just totally junked out, and in walks all four of them fresh and clean in their golf clothes. I never felt more uncomfortable in my life.

"hi. Don't mind me. I'm disgusting, eating a greasy hamburger."

I beg to differ, we have truckloads of great BBQ in Tennessee, different style from the Texas version I am sure.

Of course every time we drive through Texas our first stop is whatever Whataburger is as you approach Dallas on the east side. I love Whataburger.

Back on the original topic, I used to live off the Wendys salad bar in the early 80's when I was a youngster. The burgers (grease and all) and chili ruled. Wendys does not seem the same now, maybe it is just me. I hope they quit those rotten "cibiattia' sandwiches.......ugh, it only to one to test it....:glurps:

Right... and we should also ignore all other local chinese food joints after visiting Tian'anmen Square and the Pingyao Ancient Town.

Aggie, ignore this elitist bullshit. Whataburger is the best burger place in the south. Period. Enjoy it!

Is it the best in the country? In the world? Probably not. But it's not like we're driving past a row of "Five Guys" and "In 'n' Out" places to get there.

I never said that. I simply prefer In 'n' Out to Whataburger.

Additionally, In 'n' Out is closer to my in-laws' place than Whataburger.

(Actually, Jack in the Box is closer, but I REALLY don't like Jack in the Box.)

Truthfully, I'd rather get Waffle House's Home Fries for as many meals as I could. With Chili and Cheese-Grits. (Mmmmmmmmmm .... cheese-grits .....)
