\"Wendy's<\/a><\/p>\n

When it comes to burgers, Wendy\u2019s can be rather unorthodox. We\u2019ve seen pretzels for buns<\/a>, burgers topped with foie gras<\/a>, even \u201crenegade\u201d burgers named after dinosaurs<\/a>. With their latest twist on the hamburger, Wendy\u2019s hopes to bring down the house. The steak<\/i> house.<\/p>\n

For a limited time only, Wendy\u2019s restaurants will feature the Steakhouse Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe. In addition to having way too many syllables in its name, the burger consists of a beef hamburger patty flavored with steakhouse seasoning and a garlic aioli, topped with tomato, lettuce, red onion, and American cheese. As part of Wendy\u2019s Right Price Right Right Size value menu, you have little to lose when trying the Steakhouse Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe. I guess you could say the *steaks* are low. (See what I did there?)<\/p>\n

In appearance, the Steakhouse Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe I ordered from my local Wendy\u2019s closely resembled a typical Wendy\u2019s cheeseburger. A quick bun-scan revealed the garlic aioli and steakhouse seasoning applied to the underside of the hamburger buns.<\/p>\n

Each bite offers the same beefy flavor as a regular Wendy\u2019s hamburger, only kicked up a notch through the addition of steakhouse seasoning, which possesses a strong black pepper flavor and just a hint of heat. If my tastebuds are correct, there\u2019s also a bit of cayenne and paprika in there.<\/p>\n

\"Wendy's<\/a><\/p>\n

The burger is flavored with Montreal steakhouse seasoning. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm whether or not the Wendy\u2019s seasoning accurately resembles Montreal seasoning in flavor, as I\u2019ve never had the pleasure of tasting the largest city in the Canadian province of Quebec. That said, I imagine it tastes somewhat like hockey, maple syrup, and poutine.<\/p>\n

The peppery steakhouse seasoning meshes well with the flavor of the beef hamburger patty, adding some variety to the more mundane flavor of a value menu cheeseburger. Its only flaw is that it can seem too powdery at times, as the peppery flavor really sticks in the back of your throat. For this reason, I strongly recommend pairing it with a beverage.<\/p>\n

\"Wendy's<\/a><\/p>\n

The dominant flavor in each bite of the burger is the steakhouse seasoning. As a result, the garlic aioli applied to the underside of the buns seems to fall flat \u2014 its light, buttery garlic flavor seemed nearly undetectable against the burger\u2019s strong peppery notes. Similarly, the lettuce, tomato, and onions contributed almost nothing to the flavor, merely adding a light crunch to the texture of every bite.<\/p>\n

Wendy\u2019s new Steakhouse Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe is tasty, but not breathtakingly delicious. It\u2019s nothing to write home about. (Unless you\u2019re a person who really likes to send letters to your parents about hamburgers. Then by all means, write home!) Though the steakhouse seasoning does enhance the flavor profile of a run-of-the-mill value menu burger, I can only recommend purchasing it the next time you find yourself in need of an inexpensive lunch. It\u2019s a welcome addition to the Wendy\u2019s menu solely because of its low price.<\/p>\n

If peppery hamburgers excite you, be sure to try the new Steakhouse Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe while it\u2019s still available. If you miss it, you might just regret your mistake. Misteak? Ah, forget it. I\u2019m done with steak puns. (Or should I say, well-done with steak-puns?)<\/p>\n
