FAST FOOD NEWS: Wendy’s Bacon Mozzarella Cheeseburger and Crispy Chicken BLT

Wendy s Bacon Mozzarella Cheeseburger

If you live in Seattle, Washington; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; or Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, you have an opportunity to try Wendy’s Bacon Mozzarella Cheeseburger. If you don’t, and you want to try it, you’ll have to settle for something else, like a Baconator or go to McDonald’s out of spite.

The test item features a 100 percent fresh beef patty, a parmesan garlic cheese sauce, a slice of natural Mozzarella cheese, three strips of Applewood-smoked bacon, a spring mix, and red onion on a buttery garlic Brioche bun.

The cheeseburger has 610 calories, 34 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 1340 milligrams of sodium, 38 grams of carbohydrates, and 36 grams of protein.

Wendy s Crispy Chicken BLT

If you live in El Paso, Texas or Springfield…Illinois…or where The Simpsons live (there are so many Springfields), you can taste test Wendy’s Crispy Chicken BLT. It comes with a breaded chicken patty, two slices of Applewood-smoked bacon, American cheese, mayonnaise, leaf lettuce, and a tomato slice.

The chicken sandwich has 440 calories, 24 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 950 milligrams of sodium, 37 grams of carbohydrates, and 20 grams of protein.

I’m jealous Canada has easy access to ketchup chips and I’m also jealous they have this ice cream. Also, while Googling Chapman’s, I learned it’s the largest independent ice cream manufacturer in Canada. (Spotted by Melissa M at No Frills in Canada.)

FAST FOOD NEWS: Arby’s A.1. Special Reserve Steak Sandwich

Arby s A 1 Special Reserve Steak Sandwich

There have been many new Oreo varieties this year. But it doesn’t come close to all the new menu items Arby’s has pumped out this year. I’d list them all, but it might make you really hungry for sliced meat. The latest from the fast food chain that knows meats is the A.1. Special Reserve Steak Sandwich.

It comes with sliced Angus steak, natural cheddar cheese, a crispy thick-cut Steakhouse onion ring, and A.1. Special Reserve Sauce on a star cut bun. What’s so special about the A.1. Special Reserve Sauce? I have no idea, but let’s make something up. It’s made with unicorn tears instead of water.

The sandwich has 470 calories, 16 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 65 milligrams of cholesterol, 1660 milligrams of sodium, 51 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 9 grams of sugar, and 32 grams of protein.

The steak sauce seasoned sandwich is available for a limited time.

If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.
