It think the chili is pretty good at Wendy's. It's kind of soupy and I doubt that a chilihead would ever appreciate it. I don't care about that nor do I care about the particulars of what's in it.

I'll usually order a potato and chili when I'm there. Recently, I had a Smokey Mushroom Bacon Potato at Wendy's. It had a large amount of cheese sauce, mushrooms, and crispy bacon. It was pretty much a perfect baked potato. At three bucks, it was a no-brainer.

No, McKinley Morganfield died in 1983. Long before Wendy's Smoked Mushroom Bacon Potato thingie. That guy was a hero to a lot of Brits though. McKinley Morganfield, not the food review guy!
