πŸŸπŸ€–πŸ” Wendy's: Savage Roasts, French Fry Glow-Up, and Are the Nuggets Perfect? πŸ”πŸ€–πŸŸ

This week, Ali Gordon joins me to put Wendy's through the Chili's Test. Between Frostys, spicy nuggets, and a fireplace straight out of HGTV, things get interesting. We try three Wendy's burgers for Septemburger, but will they all get a chance in the tournament or will Jack in the Box knock them out? Also, a one-time brand new segment called Rate That Roast! where Ali judges Wendy's savage social media burns.
