Tonight my neighbor brought me a Wendy's baked potato with chili or
it might be called chili with baked potato. What a disappointment!!
UGH. To me, that chili ruined a perfectly good baked potato and I
tried to scrape most of it off, but it had already penetrated the
spud and ruined it.

It is now resting in the trash can.

I'd do the same, some nice bacon or cheese maybe but not chili.

I have always thought that Wendy's tries to recycle leftover chili in another way: as the
sauce on their taco salads. I watched a workmate order and eat a taco salad, and I
could swear the meat and "taco sauce" were just leftover chili. Ugh all around.

I've read more than once that leftover hamburgers at Wendy's are
turned into chili.

Yup... 'specially those half eaten ones that they fish out of the
trash... all fast food joints do likewise. Even fancy restaurants use
plate scrapings to make soup du jour.

They are. Just the leftover patties.

Yes indeed. I've also heard that some franchises retrieve used kotex
from the restrooms, grind them up, and use as filler in their burritos.
They call these the Sheldun special.

It's both true and not true, or was. Not that they are spoiled in
anyway. They try to have a few burgers on the grill (1979-1983) at the
ready so a customer doesnt have to wait too long. They slide the ones
not used (because no custimers came in) but not overcooked, to a bin in
the freezer/cooler and later they are broken up for the chile meats
that are mixed with canned beans and a spice packet plus there was some
sort of canned tomato sauce. The meat amount was never less than the
recipe but if you had more, it was ok to add some in. The meat was
stored with date and range of hours and had to be used within (I think)
2 days of cooking (mind you, it was refridgerated all this time fresh
off the grill).

So, it's not 'used hamburgers' at all but fresh cooked burgers that no
customer came in for before they were about to be overcooked and
perfectly safe for chile. I didn't think much of their chile stuff,
but it was safely made with all food safety in mind.

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.

That salad is disgusting. Made the mistake of ordering it once. Thankfully I
wasn't very hungry.

I made the mistake of getting one with cheese. Wasn't real cheese but a
hideous sauce. Couldn't eat it.
