The Power of Wendy's Marketing: Freshness and the Cold Chain

UnChefed

08/03/22 • 53 min

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.

UnChefed

09/01/22 • 45 min

Vikram Baliga knows his plants. He is driven by a passion to understand them and to share that knowledge. We thought it would be a good idea to ask him about his motivations as well as his feelings on the current state of agriculture in the US. Along the way, we learn a bit about where he comes from, and what he likes to eat.
Central themes in this episode revolve around water, farmer’s markets, agriculture and family.

Who doesn’t love to talk about food? It’s what feeds us! This podcast has such a balanced point of view. It’s informative, but not preachy. It’s humorous, but not silly. Two chefs tackle great food topics in this fun podcast. A must-add to your favorites list!!
