After opening the box, I noticed the sauce didn’t look like any buffalo wing sauce I had ever seen.  It kinda looked like syrup.  My excitement was quickly tempered, but I kept hope that they would still be enjoyable.  So I dug in.  I quickly noticed how the sauce had a hint of that familiar buffalo sauce tang and bite followed by a sweet syrupy taste.  Underneath all of that, the boneless buffalo wings tasted a little like Kentucky Fried Chicken.   Realizing my disappointment, I choked down the rest of them and that was that.  The next day, I headed over to the nearest restaurant that serves real buffalo wings and washed away the awful memory with a full plate of the good stuff.  Although it cost 3 times as much as Wendy’s offering, it was exponentially more enjoyable.  So until a fast food place comes up with a worthy competitor to what the sit down restaurants are putting out, I’m stuck paying more and waiting longer for my buffalo wing fixes.  Oh well, thanks for trying Wendy’s, hopefully you’ll inspire your competitors to follow your lead, but with a better product of course.  Or maybe you’ll just realize your mistake and use a better sauce.  Frank’s RedHot buffalo sauce works for me!

The hamburgers are always so darn good as you get to fix them up exactly the way you like at the Toppings Bar. But perhaps even more-so than any hamburger I suffer the consequences of a bloated stomach and an overwhelming urge to take a four hour nap.  When my name was called I picked up my buffalo burger and dressed it with my usual: ketchup, mustard, pickles, banana peppers, tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.  To prepare myself for the dreaded post consumption downer, I supplemented my buffalo burger with a glass of Dr. Pepper.  

As I ate my burger, the toppings melded into a nice creamy goo with the pickles and peppers providing a perfectly contrasting crispy crunch hidden amongst the juicy buffalo meat and deliciously soft bun.  It didn’t take many bites before I had to exclaim, “This is so freakin good!”  It had to be the best burger I ever ate …and ate …and ate.  Even though it was so huge, I ended up eating the whole thing.  The meat was so tasty and yet there was no fat!?  It was like eating extra lean ground beef, except that it tasted really really good!? 

Once I was done, I prepared myself mentally for the debilitation that was sure to come.  After 15 minutes, I still felt good and energized.  I waited.  A half hour – nothing.  An hour – nothing. Two hours – still nothing.  What the heck?!  When is it gonna kick in?  Well surprisingly, it never did.  I felt great the rest of the day. The next day, my stomach actually felt good.  It was like nothing I’ve ever felt before.  Usually my stomach either feels bad, hungry, stuffed, over-stuffed, or nothing at all (status quo).  This time it felt better than status quo.  It was like it was buzzing with excitement.  It was invigorated!  Needless to say, I’m anxiously awaiting my next visit to Fuddruckers!  I’ve even been practicing my order, “A half-pound Buffalo Burger please! ”
