Wendy's Triple - Still searching for the right time.

Today's Lunch - I'm certain there is only a small niche of men who appreciate this burger (I almost wrote sandwich - a brainwashing phenomenon in our culture that I will address another day). Don't get me wrong, Wendy's has a great double cheese and the only thing this adds is another 1/4lb layer of meat and more cheese (and more cheese has yet to ever be a problem for me) but for whatever reason after I take down this massive greasy pile, it seems to rebuild its shape in my stomach. And there it sits for the rest of the day mixed with fries and dribbling of coke that I always hope will start the decomposing process.

Today, after a long search for the new Dairy Queen Sweet Deals location, and coming up with only mall locations, I was too hungry to fight the urge any longer. I pulled in to a Wendy's and ordered up the flagship burger. Of course I large sized the fries and unfortunately the coke as well. After paying for the meal and getting the bag of food, I looked into the eyes of my server, and I could see her judging me. Like, who do you think you are to order the Triple? You're not in construction, you're not obese. Well not yet anyway.

I unwrapped the near full pound of meat, cheese and mayo goodness and as suspected the bottom bun or dish as I call it, was already soaked through with grease. It was a fight against time to ensure the top bun wouldn't fall to the same fate. I won't lie, the first few bites were damn good, and quickly reached for some fries.... very good, a little salty (Wendy's struggles with consistency here) but not too hot that they lacked flavour or too cold that I'm eating leftovers. A quick swig of coke that really I had a tough time fitting in my cup holder - mental note to research when Wendy's jumped to larger portions? I digress. As I neared the end of the triple I knew I was in trouble, I was hungry enough sure, but the meat was overpowering me.

I think a double with cheese, throw down a Jr Bacon would have been more appropriate. Lunch today was 3 stars.
