GET IT TO GO: BREAKFAST AT WENDY'S

 

Good morning everyone! 
Actually at the time you're reading this it could be any time of day so..."HI," instead.

Your semi-fearless foodie folks down here in the Tennessee basin of Knoxville have been looking for ways to keep you informed about our 2 cent opinions on good eats and otherwise and as life has been busy I figured I'd give you my review on my attempts to get some fast-food breakfast outside my normal routine and give you my thoughts on the fare at Wendy's since they actually just in the past year or more started breakfast service. I figured I'd give them time to work out their kinks before putting my gut through a sampling of items but after a month and 4 weeks of trying one item per week here's my thoughts in ranking from meh to mmmmmmmm.

#4 Sausage Gravy & Biscuit
Okay, now being an admitted northerner in a southern world, I may not be the best person to tell you if this was a delicious dish or not. However, I've become accustomed over the past 20 years to very creamy, white gravy with sausage so when I got this and it was a little more "off white" and thinner than I have come to like I was definitely not the biggest fan of their take on the traditional breakfast combo here. I'm open to your take on it though.

#3 Sausage, Egg & Cheese Burrito
The only things I can say was that it was "fine". It's on the smaller side so don't expect it to be filling and I found it a bit bland.

#2 Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit
I think that sadly McDonald's has ruined me for this sandwich offering. If my biscuit doesn't actually leave a clear spot on a paper towel from the lard or butter or whatever they use I am not as impressed I guess. While it was clear that the biscuit was fresh from Wendy's it was fluffy and didn't have some of the buttery crisp that I've come to treasure. I preferred Wendy's egg handling and presentation more though and the bacon was really good and had a nice crisp to it. I felt like I was eating something handcrafted and for me that was a plus, but my tastebuds I think are spoiled by the other fast-food giant and well I'm just sorry.

AND NOW for my pick of my favorite thing I ate for breakfast at Wendy's



#1 Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit
I was shocked as all get out to discover that this was my ultimate favorite breakfast item from the ones I've sampled over the month. Anytime I go out to a restaurant (or did before covid), if the server gave us bread with that honey or sweetened butter nonsense I'd defiantly request a ramekin of actual real butter because am actually a savory-food lover rather than into sweets. However...this sandwich took me by surprise. Pair the biscuit which was fresh with that honey butter and a really great chicken breast with a crisp delicious exterior and a juicy interior and I will say I think this may rival my ultimate favorite breakfast fast-food item of chick'n mini's from Jesus-Chicken (I mean Chik-fil-A). I highly recommend this item and encourage you to give it a try and let me know what you think.

In the meantime, thanks for reading and this is Anna signing off from her duty of eating a little something outside her comfort zone for your amusement.

Abandonment, Fear and Thanks

I woke up today very early. My significant other and I have a young puppy so that's part of the life at this time. Disturbed sleep. I woke up and just thought well, it's Thanksgiving, let's just be thankful today. I was in a good frame of mind. I had made the decision to just be present today as much as possible. But...in the wee small hours of the morning my always present depression and anxiety had other plans. I went to message a friend of mine. I connect a lot on Facebook so I went into messenger to just let her know I was thinking about her and I couldn't find her. At first I didn't worry, I figured that she and I were both struggling with the election stress and maybe she just went dark for a bit. I get that. I understand taking the mental health break if need be. Alas, she didn't just go dark.  Upon investigation I came to understand that I had a friend in real life that I care about deeply. I would try hard to check on her and send Erik over with various...

Why Do Adults Ghost Each Other?

I'm not sure I understand why we do this to each other...as adults. In so many ways, it feels like we are just grown ups who never outgrew high school.  I have been jealous of others and that jealousy has lead me at times to make moves to guard my own heart because I definitely have fomo (fear of missing out), anxiety, depression, abandonment issues and the feeling that no matter what I do, I will NEVER ever be good enough and in full honesty, I have been guilty of blocking people who have hurt me and people involved in certain things that trigger me because at times I have to look at certain parts of my life like they were addictions or toxic relationships.  I have to accept that no matter what, there are going to be a large and sometimes very visible/vocal group of people who rather than work through things with me person to person and come to an understanding or workable position would rather just make me out to be a bad person. Maybe I'm delusional thinking that I'm act...

The Foodie Review = Week Ending 09/26/20

FIRST TIME RECIPE ATTEMPTS FOR THIS WEEK: Cheesy Spinach Pesto Flatbread   *****out of 5 Stars! Ina Garten's Baked Shrimp Scampi    *****out of 5 Stars! I've decided to make this more of an open format blog adventure and not feel like I have to "fail" anything per se. So instead I'll focus on the week of culinary adventures in my household. First of all, the two recipes I picked out to try were knock out of the ballpark AMAZING (links are above to the recipes). Seriously, they both were just sensational and the shrimp scampi was even better on day 2. However a word of, ahem...warning. Look, I'm just going to be real. I've been cooking A LOT lately. I've also discovered how much I use garlic in the meals I cook. I LOVE GARLIC. However...if you eat a LOT of garlic (as I have been doing)...your ahem, smelly bits may begin to smell like...GARLIC. Seriously, I was starting to worry that the garlic smell was just imbedded in the air, then I realized it was l...
