UnChefed

Wendy's is arguably the most influential fast food franchise out there. While McDonald's and Burger King were selling frozen patties on their limited menus, Wendy's was selling "fresh, never frozen" beef on a menu loaded with chili, baked potatoes, and salads. These days, in the year of our lord 2022, fast food burger menus from the twin titans at the top look WAY more like a Wendy's menus from the 80s than the other way around.
Join us as we ask "what's up with that" and explore the impact the success of Wendy's marketing campaigns has had on rewiring the public perception of fresh. Modern desire for freshness has massively influenced a bit of infrastructure we rely a great deal on...something few people even know exists.

I know, we collaborate with them a lot...but we love F**k My Work Life, so we aren't complaining.
In this episode, we get in touch with how the pandemic has us a little frazzled. Maybe we stopped cooking for ourselves, maybe we fell a little out of love with the thought of cooking for ourselves. We attack these feelings directly with our friend Kay by digging deep and pulling out the memory of a perfect dish, and thinking a bit on what made it so special.
