Wendy's Doubles Down in Downtown Brooklyn

“As someone once said, “I didn’t move to this town to make dinner.””
Did this same person say that they moved to this town to eat at Wendy’s?
“Cheap” also refers to the labor involved in preparing the meal. Spend $$, eat, throw away the packaging. For lunch, it is just easier for people – I never cease to be amazed by how many people buy their lunches every single day. It does not take an inordinate amount of time to set yourself up for some healthy meals to come home to and devour, or to take to work. In about half an hour I will have some salmon, pasta, and beets with a cold glass of milk, and then go shopping for a birthday card for my nephew.

Gmap shows an unverified listing for BEST BUY on Livingston near this Wendy’s. Was there one at this spot? Are there plans for one there?
Stonergut — wendy’s opening another store in downtown Brooklyn is like another mediocre midrange restaurant opening on Montague street. let’s get some variety going for goodness sakes. what do you want there?
Exactly Snappy.
And for that $7 I spent for the chicken and roasted vegetables, that is usually enough for TWO dinners!
I get that people eat fast food because they either like the taste of it or they want something fast, but to claim that it’s cheap doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense to me.
Hell, I can even go get the hummus and lentil soup at Olive Vine and that’s about the same price and that actually tastes like real food and not rubber or dog meat.
11217, that price point is exactly what keeps me from eating fast food too often. I started doing the math (and I suck at math!) on what I could do with that 5-7 duckets. Sure, a $5 footlong turkey sandwich at subway is quick and easy, but for just a few bucks more, I can get enough turkey, bread and lettuce and have sandwiches for a week.
wait, what’s the hypocrisy? the subtexts on this blog are a bit out of control.
I can’t even touch that…it speaks for itself 🙂 Nice one, THL!
I like that perma-crunch coating on fries. IMO, there is nothing worse than limp, soggy fries. Can’t eat those. At all.
And fsrg(q?), you are right on about the Chip Shop/Shake Shack hypocrisy.
I’m not really sure why people say fast food is cheap. I haven’t eaten fast food in maybe 5 years, so perhaps I’m out of touch with the prices, but to get a meal there it’s probably what like 6 or 7 bucks?
For that, I can make a dinner of a couple roasted chicken breasts, and a huge tray of rosemary roasted carrots, potatoes and onion with a side of spinach.
Much healthier.
It’s a myth that eating fruits and vegetables is more expensive than fast food, in my opinion.
