Review: Wendy's - Chili

Wendy's Chili is a uniquely Wendy's menu item among the major fast food chains. It's a hearty soup of beans, spices, ground beef, and veggies for a reasonable price.

A fair-sized small cup cost me $1.29 with an additional $0.25 charge for shredded cheddar cheese.

The main flavor of Wendy's Chili is definitely tomato and not much else really. While there's also beans, beef, and chopped onions, celery, and green bell peppers, they don't impart as much flavor as you would expect and mostly provide texture.

The beef in particular was mealy and almost grainy which was somewhat off-putting. While I had them add cheese to liven up the proceedings, the cheddar used was fairly mild and did not provide as much flavor as I hoped.

Still for $1.29, Wendy's Chili is warm, hearty, and very comforting when the weather turns cold. It could do with more seasoning and heat though. And a sharper cheddar and some fresh, diced onions would be nice as well.
