Wendy's?

Wolfpack

Watching the game- say it ain't so...

Huh? I haven't seen anything during the O's game.

Wolfpack

Apparently they are falling into the Arby's trap- pulled pork sandwich. Buy some BB's now before prices go up )

Missed the ad - do you mean about Wendy's coming out with a brisket sandwich or that cute little red headed Wendy in real life should have pushed back from the trough earlier?? LOL

Headline for the article I saw was 'Wendy's plans to bring Good Barbecue to All,' Two things that should never be used in the same sentence - Wendy's (or any fast food place - think the McRib) and BBQ

but they've done so much for the hamburger - they made it square

and the chili, they totally changed the debate from bean/no bean to finger/no finger

what kind of rub do you think they use?  do they coat with mustard first?

apple wood?  hickory?

this is exciting.  have they started to flag it as healthier than fried yet?

Actually, there burgers are pretty good in terms of the major FF places. The finger thing was fake.

In terms of the BBQ, they did test it in the BBQ, uh, "hotbeds" of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The ad is pretty funny, though.

I'm ashamed to admit I tried the bbq sandwhich while on the road this week.  Pork was extremely dry ;(  Lots of sauce and cole slaw was actually good.  Overall....DO NOT RECOMMEND

Legume

that's a great ad

the finger thing wasn't fake, it was fraud and it was all kinds of awesomeness.  all that trouble to procure a finger, like that wouldn't attract enough attention to get caught.  could've been episode one of that stupid criminal show.

Sorry, that's what I meant. It was "fake" because the woman didn't find the finger, she planted it in the chili, committing fraud.

Hold up... they're putting pulled pork over fries, with cheese and onions? I guess now we know what new dish Craig will be bringing to EggToberfest.

I never noticed that Wendy's shirt spells mom. Just googled it apparently it was unintentional  @-)
