<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Bacon. Cheese. Potatoes.<\/p>\n
As far as I\u2019m concerned those are three of the major food groups. Toss some nuggets and a Chocolate Frosty in there and you\u2019ve covered them all \u2013- the Wendy\u2019s Food Pyramid.<\/p>\n
Make no mistake; Wendy\u2019s ever evolving innovative menu makes her The Queen of Fast Food. I\u2019m never disappointed in their releases. So when I heard about this new queso line of products, I was all in.<\/p>\n
The ad claims queso \u201cmakes everything better.\u201d Far be it from me to call out the validity of Wendy\u2019s crack marketing team, but I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n
Case in point \u2013 Wendy\u2019s Bacon Queso Fries. <\/p>\n
I love Wendy\u2019s fries. I\u2019m embarrassed to admit how many times I eat them monthly, but let\u2019s just say it\u2019s quite often. Too often.<\/p>\n
The large order of Bacon Queso Fries come drenched in \u201cspicy\u201d poblano queso, with generous helpings of shredded cheddar and strips of Applewood smoked bacon.<\/p>\n
Okay, so, as you can see, this isn\u2019t exactly the prettiest dish. Obnoxious people like to tell us that \u201cwe eat with our eyes first,\u201d so these fries were already off to a rough start.<\/p>\n
The queso was warm and immediately made me feel like I was trying Wendy\u2019s take on nachos.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The little green poblano peppers added a nice heat kick, but you won\u2019t be running for a large Frosty to offset the burn. These are probably right on par with Wendy\u2019s Spicy Chicken products at the very bottom of the Scoville Scale.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The shredded cheese wasn\u2019t necessary, but I guess it added a mild flavor balance and another textural element. Speaking of, the bacon was firm and stayed a bit crispy, so that was good. Wendy\u2019s usually comes through with the bacon.<\/p>\n
The first few bites were satisfying, but after a while the spice mixed with the fry and bacon saltiness got overbearing. I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m whining that something was too salty, but, man, were these salty. The queso spice dried out my mouth, so it intensified the salt tenfold. I definitely recommend having a drink nearby when you\u2019re eating these, if only to re-moisten your mouth.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Another knock is these got unappetizing as they lost temperature. By the time I was halfway done, they were cold and clumpy, so I lost interest in shoving the rest down. I hate wasting food, but I couldn\u2019t finish.<\/p>\n
I appreciate Wendy\u2019s continuing to put out fry variations, but these didn\u2019t hold up to the previous few concoctions I tried. I\u2019d definitely prefer a smaller portion. Maybe if I had a friend to share with, I would have given these a higher score. Plus, I\u2019d have a friend, and I desperately need those.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> Wendy\u2019s has great fries. Bacon was on point. Queso was tasty when hot. Not too spicy. The Wendy\u2019s Food Pyramid. The price was right for the size.
\nCons:<\/b> Way too salty. Got cold quickly. Clumps of plasticky cheese after a couple minutes. Pretty huge serving size. Forever alone \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
