It shouldn't be long before they add Arby's menu to Wendy's stores.

How sad. Arby's here is my second to the LAST choice for fast food
(when I HAVE to eat fast food)
Hardee's is the worst. Naturally, Hardee's is the closest one within
walking distance (no car).
I like Wendy's Asian salad. I do have a Subway and a Pita Pit within
walking distance.

I'm also close to several good local places (some a little spendy)
Especially good is Cafe Aladdin (two Palestinian brothers- Ahmed
Younis and Younis Younis - I call him "Younis2". They have wonderful
gyros for $5, real sheep's milk feta, several kinds of olives,
felafel, good hummus and baba ghanoush.)
Lynn in Fargo
(two Thai restaurants, two Indian places, one really $$$ European
place run by an award winning chef from the Czech Republic, fifteen
Tex-Mex joints, annnd a hundred mediocre Chinese buffets.

I like fast food on occasion. At least in this part of the world, Wendy's
has always been reliably decent fast food. Guess that's about to change.

TammyM,

I wish I could predict ordinary fast food becoming extra-ordinary but sadly
I can't! LOL!!!

Best,

I remember saving pennies so I could get a Wendy's burger when I was a teen.
Nothing else would do. McD's, BK, forget about it. Somewhere along the
line things changed... I haven;'t been to Arby's in about 20 years. It was
okay. Better now? Anyone?

Jill,

Depends on your diet. Their nutritional value would obviously be in
question but I'm not about to be a broken record today.

Just glad to be alive! Near death experiences tend to shake me up. Had one
today.

Life is good!!!

Oh Lynn, dear, I have a Hardee's story for you and you will probably never
set foot in one again. Back in my teen years in the 70's, I worked at a
steak house in North Carolina (Western Sizzlin' - neither here nor there)
that was located on fast food alley, (HWY 74E) next door to a Hardee's. It
was a hot summer night and all the prep work had been done, business was
slowing down, so we were allowed to take break on the loading dock until it
was time to do closing cleanup (I worked in the back of the house). We were
sitting around bs-ing and smoking when all of sudden all Hell broke lose at
Hardees. The manager was screaming and whailing the crap out of one of the
boys who worked there. The local police roared up, broke up the fight and
took the boy away in cuffs. The manager of Hardees came over about a half
an hour later to the back door of the steak house and wanted to speak to our
manager. He wanted to bum some mayo off of him until he got a new delivery
in the morning. Being the conscienscous employees that we were, we went
about our 'duty' while one was assigned lookout and another listened in to
the conversation in the managers office. Seems the boy was ****ed off at
being written up for something and he had been waxing his carrot in the
mayonnaise and then serving it to the customers. How long it had been going
on, no one knew, but he was 'seen' enjoying the mayonaisse by another
employee who went and got the manager who witnessed the consumation of the
act and him stirring it in the mayo. That's when all hell broke
lose....... Could never eat there again after that. Never knew how many
burgers were sold with the 'special' sauce. And to all and sundry who were
there that night, Hardees was further known not as the 'Home of the Whopper'
but 'Home of the Jerk Burger'.......not urban legend, folks. This one I was
actually there on the periphery.

Yeah! Maybe Arby's will start selling beef now. They are located much
closer to me than any Wendy's; if they just sold beef, I'd go there on
occasion.

But arbys bought Wendys. They will likely do one of 2 things. Operate
them as the real meat operation they currently are or cheapen them up by
converting them to the meat like offerings they sell.

They are welcome to each other! Didn't Sam Johnson say something
about "settling the precedence of a flea and a louse"?

Jill,

I would rate them just under the "cheese paper" Hardees has been featuring
some of their commercials. If you aren't familiar with the commercial, it's
two blue-collar guys in a truck, one is licking the grease and stuck cheese
off his hamburger wrapper and turns to the other and says "you gonna eat
your cheese paper?" IMO, Arby's roast beet sandwiches are just below "some
other guys cheese paper" on desirability;

Oh, Ginny!
Thank you so much. Now whenever I have a burger/fries or whatever
craving, I can contemplate Hardees for 15 seconds and lose my appetite
for the remainder of the day! My doctor, my cholesterol level and I
all thank you.

Hardee's!? I wasn't even aware they still existed. All the locales I ever
knew closed DECADES ago, and they sucked then. Shades of Burger Chef. I'm
still trying to figure out how JITB and Wendy's stay in business. Oh, don't
forget Der Weinerschnitzle for reaallly bad food.
