Slave City family, what is up and is Bobby coming
at you in front of Wendy's?
Because we're continuing a theme of fast food reviews and
I'm very excited for this one because you've been requesting
it a lot and there could be some really good
options at Wendy's. I was doing my homework online and
there are some solid options compared to other fast food.
And there's keto diabetic options.
And if you know how to swap items on the
menu or what I call Bobby Fi them,
you can get some pretty solid options.
So let's get into Wendy's.
The lunch wrench is happening right now,
so hopefully we can beat it in order.
Pretty much the whole menu tell you what to buy
what to avoid and why,
because these videos are all about if you have to
come to Wendy's,
what's the best quality stuff to put in your body.
So wish me luck. Let's go in there and do
our thing
let's give it up to Wendy's.
So far, this is the most beautiful looking fast food
that I've been to yet.
It actually looks appealing. The premium bun is like sparkling
on top.
I'm very excited. I have my highlighter.
I've got my notes, which doesn't have as many red
or yellow marks as it did the other week over
at Where
was that Brad Taco Bell?
That was scary, right? So let's get straight into it.
I'm very excited to try this.
The Baconator, right? Great name,
great marketing here at Wendy's.
Oh, wow,
good job, chef. Oh my gosh,
the bun, the premium bun.
It's soft and pillowy. It's kind of like a potato
roll.
Whereas when you go to McDonald's and stuff,
it has a different texture to it.
OK, that is good, but wait a minute.
Even though it tastes good,
the ingredients aren't ideal. But I Bobby fied it and
I have something here that could be one of the
best things in the menu.
This is the bacon neuter.
Flavor is a 10 out of 10.
That is like getting my brain super lit up right
now.
Here's the deal. It has two of the hamburger beef
patties.
What's the famous thing here at Wendy's?
Never frozen, fresh ground beef.
Here's my problem. The ground beef is the same as
basically any other fast food,
minus the fact that it's fresh,
never frozen. They're premium bun.
That name's a little deceiving to me because the ingredients
are quite the opposite. So it's your typical and rich
flour bun.
Big deal. They all have that for fast food,
but I don't love the fact that they're using GMO
high fructose corn syrup and sugar as a sweetener in
here.
And they're using soybean oil,
highly inflammatory, highly GMO, highly processed
oil. So the question is,
if this is the premium bun,
what is the regular bun?
Because that's super scary. So
not the best bun. And to be honest,
some of the buns at other fast foods might be
slightly better,
but the texture is soft and pillowy.
Like I want to take a nap on that bun.
It's so good. It has the processed American cheese.
The mayonnaise on there is made with soybean oil and
corn syrup,
the same at Chick-fil-A, the same at McDonald's.
The bacon on here, it's interesting.
It's your standard bacon you would get and most any
fast food,
but it's super cheap. When you look at the ingredients
and you see bacon that has sodium phosphate,
sodium erythrabate, and sodium nitrate,
those are three super bad but super common preservatives and
something like sodium erythrobrate.
The primary goal of that is to make the bacon
look more kind of pink right here.
So that's what it does,
but it's really bad for you.
That being said, it's actually slightly better,
I'd say, than like a McDonald's Big Mac,
because the secret sauce for that uses some really bagging
ingredients.
But here's what I would do.
So if you want a Baconator
or if you want a Dave's Double like I got
here,
let's try and buy it.
It's the same ingredients, right?
This one just has bacon.
What I would do to Bobby Fire
is do this. Check this out,
Brad. It's just a baconator,
but I got rid of that horrible bun and you
couldn't ask him for a lettuce bun.
And what do you think,
Brad? Looks good, right? It's
amazing. This looks amazing. And the benefit of this
is it's keto. It's gluten free.
Hold on a second. This looks amazing.
Wow. Wow, wee wow.
Little bit of washing it down with some frosty,
huh?
Oh my God, I'll get to that in a minute.
It's a little bit scarier.
The beautiful thing is
you got rid of that nasty bun
that first of all has way too many carbs,
but it has that nasty corn syrup and soybean oil
in there and you put it on a lettuce bun.
You have the bacon, which has a touch of sugar,
but this is 100% gluten free,
diabetic friendly and keto. Is it ideal?
No, but this is better than almost any sandwich you
can get in any fast food,
so I would get this one for sure.
You can get any one of the hamburgers with a
lettuce bun.
That's what you want to do.
Before we move on to
the Frosty and the chicken sandwich really quickly,
I want to give a shout out again to the
best probiotic on the market,
Seed. I've been talking about it in a few different
fast food review videos.
It was sold out. It's back in stock.
Everyone needs a little bit of gut health help,
especially if you're eating a lot of fast food.
The thing is, a lot of probiotics on the on
the market are a waste of money.
They die in your stomach and they're expensive,
right? The stomach acids eat up the living bacteria.
The cool thing about Seed is that it's the Leonardo
DiCaprio,
the dream within a dream
of a capsules. Because it has two capsules,
the outer layer actually dissolves in your tummy and it's
made of pomegranates because pomegranates are high in fiber.
It's a prebiotic that feeds your gut bacteria.
But then the payload, the actual second capsule makes it
all the way through your intestines down to your colon
and delivers 24 strains of bacteria that are not just
good for gut health, for bowel movements,
really good for your skin,
an immune system. I'm huge on probiotics.
Everyone I've turned on to this is loving it.
And I got the promo code for you guys.
When you click the link down below and use my
promo code,
you get 15% off your first month's supply.
It shifts all around the world and it's 30 days
money back guarantee.
I'm telling you, if you're looking for a probiotic to
improve gut health,
Seed Synbiotic is the way to go.
It is next level. OK,
not necessarily good for gut health would be this.
This is the frosty, the chocolate frosty,
which I used to get this back in the day.
You used to dip your fries in this,
bro. Yeah, you you kind of have to do that,
right?
The texture of a frosty is downright sinful.
That is so good. My issue is this is,
I believe a small, let me double check here,
a small frosty and it still has
47 grams of sugar, which my friends is
12 teaspoons of. Is it cane sugar?
Yes, it's cane sugar with GMO corn syrup.
47 grams of sugar is crazy.
You're only supposed to have
19 1/2 teaspoons of sugar a day,
or I should say the average American has that.
When you're having 12 with your small frosty,
they're a little bit of a problem.
And then it also has carrageenan.
I'm noticing a lot of fast food restaurants use them.
It's very disruptive to the gut because it's inflammatory.
It's much better to use if
also fires like gel and gum or locust beam gun.
Wow, the lunch, the lunch rush is picking up on
Brad.
We got here just in time to time this one
perfectly.
OK, where to next? I know.
Let's go to one of the healthiest options on the
menu,
the Southwest avocado salad. Take a look at that,
Brad. That looks good, right?
And I'm actually blown away.
First of all, the presentation is lovely.
A lot of times you go on the websites and
they don't look anything like you get at the restaurant.
I give Wendy's a A plus for presentation.
Everything looks super good. The thing is,
this is by far the cleanest salad I've seen maybe
at any fast food joint around.
Let me try a bite here because it's got bacon,
it's got has avocados, it's got that grilled chicken
and it's tossed in a nice dressing.
That's not too bad.
Wow,
crispy bacon, creamy avocado. That's fantastic.
I don't even know if they dressed it for me.
It looks naked. Maybe they put the dressing on the
side.
That's really good. But here's the interesting right.
We already made the Baconator Keto
ready for the 2nd keto option on the menu.
It's this salad. This SW avocado salad only has 6
grams of net carbs,
which is crazy and it's huge and only three grams
of added sugar
and that's the reason why I chose it because the
other ones are a little more dicey.
But the salad blend totally fine,
right? Romaine lettuce, jalapeno Peppers,
totally cool with that. The grilled chicken is not bad,
but I'll talk about it when I get to the
sandwich.
Much better than the fried,
of course. But here's the deal.
The Southwest Ranch dressing, which
I don't know if they forgot to toss mine in
there,
I'm not really seeing it.
But with the avocado, I don't know if you need
it.
That's not that bad. It's a soybean oil
based dressing. I mean, who makes soybean oil based dressing
at home?
No one, right? But they do it fast food because
they're super cheap.
It's all about the money,
right, As Mr. Wonderful says.
But instead of using GMO high fructose corn syrup as
a sweetener,
they're only using a touch of sugar.
And it really is a touch.
And they're using extra virgin olive oil too.
They're never going to put EVOO first because that's a
more expensive oil.
They do it later just to get a little flavor
in there too.
And then it has that,
you know, not ideal bacon in there too.
But my friends, 6 grams of net carbs.
The parmesan Caesar salad isn't bad either,
but the other salads are nowhere near as close as
this.
You might be tempted to get the apple pecan salad,
but the dressing, just the dressing has 15 grams of
added sugar,
which is just about four teaspoons of cane sugar.
So no, you want to go for the Southwest avocado
salad.
It looks absolutely fantastic. To be honest,
I'm pretty sure they forgot the dressing,
but I don't even know if I need it.
This is really really darn good.
Keto best in class. Keto best in class.
You could actually get both these,
maybe do without the chicken and have a solid,
solid, low carb, gluten free,
diabetic friendly fast food option.
I'm not even joking there.
OK, I have 3 chicken sandwiches here.
Brad, I have grilled chicken,
original chicken, spicy chicken. Here's what I'm going to do.
If you're going to get a fried chicken here,
leave a comment down below.
Which of these chicken sandwiches do you think would have
the worst ingredients?
The spicy one or the original chicken salad
chicken sandwich? I'll take a bite while you're doing it
of the spicy.
That's nice.
Oh please
to cleanse my palate. Oh
ma'am, sweet and say ivory bread.
Man oh man if you said
original thinking that the spicy will have like MSG or
something in there,
you're wrong. This was totally crazy to me.
The spicy one is the cleaner one because
if I pull up my notes here,
not a lot of notes.
Oh, the spice, the spice is lingering.
That's a proper spice. Doesn't hit you on the front
end,
hits you on the back end there.
OK, here we go. Spicy chicken sandwich is very interesting
because
it uses real spices. If I go to the regular
chicken sandwich,
I guess they're like, we got to bump up the
flavor somehow.
How do we do it?
Look at that. What's the primary ingredient?
Mono sodium glutamate, MSG, but not once.
If you keep going down,
there's another one, there's a double dose of MSG and
look at this,
there's something called grill flavor.
Grill flavor in the fried chicken,
maybe in the grilled chicken.
I understand that, but they're putting grill flavor,
which is just a manufactured flavor
and a double dose of MSG.
Once again, listen, this is very important.
Man made MSG in the powder form that you see
here is horrible for your health.
It's called an excitogen. It gets your taste buds excited.
It sends the message to your brain,
wow, this is good. I need to eat more of
that.
It's really, really bad for you.
Natural MSG naturally occurring in the form of fermented soy
sauce,
tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, mushrooms. That's really,
really good for you. This is bad.
So if you're going to get a chicken sandwich that's
fried here,
please get the spicy one.
That being said, it's still fried all chicken sandwiches in
a vegetable or soybean oil that may contain.
I love when they do this.
One of the following canola corn.
That'd be OK for fast food
or cotton seed, but it's also fried in hydrogenated soybean
oil.
It's like, which one is it?
You're going from bad to worse.
But all of the fried chicken also has the last
ingredient.
Look at this. It looks like a science experiment,
right? Looks like the doctor from The Simpsons.
A little bit of a dimethyl polysiloxane.
You're like, what? Dimethyl polysiloxane is an anti foaming agent
that you find in Silly Putty.
I've seen that before. It's actually very common and it's
really,
really scary. So once again,
you want to get regular chicken sandwich.
The weird thing is the Nuggets,
Brad, whether spicy or regular,
they don't have MSG. So even the regular chicken Nuggets
don't have MSG,
but the regular chicken sandwich it does.
If you have to choose,
check this out. Brad, one of the
sauces here. Let's play pick your poison here.
Which of these sauces do you want to dip your
Nuggets in?
Which one would you guys choose just based upon the
name?
Huh. You're
going to want to get this one
creamy Sriracha sauce because if you can see those ingredients,
which you can't, there's no high fructose corn syrup in
this one,
which is nice. So let me just dip my
spicy on spicy here.
That's nice. Hold on, the spice is very delayed.
I have to put out the fire.
That's right. Not only putting out the fire,
but that 47 grams of sugar
hits the spot right. You probably want to get the
grilled chicken sandwich here over the fried 'cause it's fried
in those really,
really nasty oils. It's not quite as clean as I'd
want.
Oh, it does look nice with spinach on there.
Look at that, Brad. Who puts spinach
on a grilled chicken sandwich?
Dave. Dave Thomas is classy as can be.
Dang, son. Mm hmm.
Wow,
that's really, really good. Once again,
Larry David moment here. I'm using all the napkins in
the restaurant.
Chicken options are very, very interesting.
And so is this. This is
a chili, right? You're going to think on a hot
South Florida day,
it's going to be nice comfort food.
It's pretty healthy. It's a
little little scary, but I have to try it and
get more hint,
hint, MSG in my body.
Everybody asked me like, Oh my God,
are you are you on the toilet all day after
you do these fast scooter reviews?
Luckily I haven't had any issues yet.
Nice
to see Thanks to see probiotic.
Thank you. Thank you, Brad.
But whenever I do one of these videos,
I have a super gut friendly meal that night.
I'll make like a bone broth soup with tons of
fiber rich veggies just to kind of reset my
my stomach. OK, that's a great chili.
But it's very, very upsetting to me that they have
to use a very tricky MSG form here.
If you look at the ingredients,
it's not bad, right? You have the chili based,
you have a touch of sugar,
but it's not that much and the ingredients are relatively
small.
You guys see what I see here
Once again, put on your your science classes like the
the guy from The Simpsons
disodium, you know, so they did disodium giannulate.
We talked about this the other week.
That's another word for MSG and they're putting it in
the chili to make it more crave worthy.
I feel like a lot of stuff is happening behind
me.
Brad, is it
Waldo? Oh Waldo, Oh, there's a Waldo.
Oh Wendy's Waldo. So they're putting MSG in there.
Just super bad news because it hijacks your taste buds.
I would not get that without the MSG.
I don't know. I make chili all the time.
I have a 5 ingredient chili in our best selling
5 ingredient cookbook.
I don't use MSG. I don't know why they're putting
in there.
That's super, super upsetting. Oh,
I saved this for last.
I didn't mean to do that.
The fries, the fries look good.
The fries taste good. We saw the taste about the
McDonald's,
right? I'd still go to Chick-fil-A across the street.
The waffle cut fries, you guys on Team Waffle cut,
those are actually cleaner because if you look what kind
of oil they're cooking this in
hydrogenated soybean oil. So they're taking the worst oil,
soybean oil, GMO, highly inflammatory.
They're making it hydrogenated with hydrogen and making a trans
fatty acid that your body cannot recognize.
And it's really, really bad,
way worse for your body than any other oil out
there.
And they use that dimethyl polysiloxane.
Anyone that fries in hydrogen and soybean oil is immediately
out.
McDonald's does that too. So I would not get the
fries here.
As much as Brad wants to take that fry and
dip it into the into the frosty,
I know he does. I wouldn't do that.
So overall, not bad options.
Maybe the best tasting, prettiest food I've done so far.
Salad, Southwest salad, do the Baconator or any burger on
the lettuce rub bun.
I'm telling you, it's actually very,
very tasty. It's crispy. You get to miss out on
all those nasty carbs and high fructose corn syrup.
So that is it for Wendy's.
Where to next? Brad and I are thinking
Burger King and Subway, but at least leave comments down
below.
We do these videos for you.
I poison my body just for you.
You guys think secretly I enjoyed this and it's an
excuse for me to eat fast food.
I do enjoy the flavor,
but I don't enjoy putting the poisons in my body.
But it's OK, right? I'll I'll get over it.
That is it like subscribe share spread that flav city
love from Wendy's.
We leave you like we always do.
Hashtag keep on cooking. Mad love.
Peace later guys.
