I also know there are a lot of indifferent people in the world and that in some Wendy's somewhere, a burger made it from the floor to the chili. Did it happen? Don't know. CAN it happen? Certainly. |

Yes, a tremendous amount of splatter, hopefully they had little dot burns all over their arms when finished.  Cheri |

That's what I was saying. Not two whole cans. It's a nice mix. Evidently they learned this combo because then eventually started selling the mix.....Cream of Mushroom and Chicken soup. Don't know if they still sell the mix now. I don't use the stuff very often anymore. |

After all, is the manager standing around watching everybody preparing burgers and has a counter clicking off every one that is dropped? If he's got that much time to be in the way he can get on the line and help dish up those hamburgers!! Are the co-workers running to tattle on the butterfingered cook? Preposterous! |

You were trying to pass it off as the truth and you got raked over the coals for making such an unbelievable comment and now you're back peddling trying to save face. If it were truly meant as sarcasm you'd have stepped in after the first 3 or 4 posts and stated that. |

Yes, everybody but you and Sheldon could see that it was clearly sarcasm after reading my previous post. Why else would I do a 180 just a couple hours after the post above? Get a grip on reality. > If it were truly meant as sarcasm you'd have stepped in after the > first 3 or 4 posts and stated that. Which I did. My response to Pussy Katz, who was the very first poster to follow-up to my post, just 20 minutes later: > I can feel that WHOOOOSSHHH from upstate New York all the here in > Louisiana! > > That was sarcasm, ya drunk. Duh. Now go rest that pretty widdle head of yours. You've given it quite a workout today. -sw |

I realize that some people like the chili. I do eat it if I have to eat there which thankfully isn't very often. I'm just not too keen on any of their other offerings so I will get that. I don't personally think it's very good as chili goes but the other stuff on the menu doesn't appeal. Was nice for the brief period of time that they had a salad bar. |

Using dropped or old meat is certainly not Wendy's policy. I don't think they used dropped but the meat in the chili does come from unsold patties. The chili also widely varies each time you get it. Might be thick with lots of meat. Next time, lots of beans. Once it was watery with very little meat or beans. |

They may have made something like that at one time. I recently made a recipe that called for one of each. Was a recipe to use up some Stovetop stuffing that I got for cheap. But when I made it, I screwed up and put in two of the chicken. Don't think it made a difference. I rarely follow the recipe exactly. I added a ton of cooked onion and celery but when I discovered my mistake, I added additional freeze dried celery to the soup. |

I like the chili at Wendy's - it's simple and unpretentious. I didn't need to look it up on the internet to know this. All I had to do is examine the meat in the chili. The patties are square shaped and they don't chop up the hamburger patties very well. It's like a jigsaw puzzle. You'll find some edge pieces and corner pieces mixed in there. |

It should never be underloaded with beans but the meat, yes, will vary. If they have excess meat from keeping a few going at all times, the chili will have more meat. I do not recall the lower limit but there was one for number of patties and if you hit that, you cooked fresh ones just for chili meat until you hit it. Here's what I recall from Clemson SC Wendy's and game day traffic. Starting Thursday, we'd have an extra patty going at the slow hours straight through Friday. i.e.; add one more than you think you will need. Friday evening, survey about 9pm and load the grill full if needed. Friday morning, meat machine making patties would make a triple batch (at least then, the patties were made in the store from bags of raw ground meat). Saturday, extra person on staff to make meat patties, chop stuff, or make chili. Game day morning, fill all meat and produce pans to max and hope it holds out. -- |

They do not. If they find an employee doing that, they fire them on the spot. I also said they do not charge employees for dropping things because they do not. -- |
