Wendy's Allegedly Pulling A Beloved Burger From Its Menu 6

Wendy's Nacho Burgers: Discontinued or Here to Stay?

Burger lovers, get ready for something unexpected! There are rumors that Wendy's is about to reduce the number of items on its menu, including one popular item.

Was it overdone? The Loaded Nacho Cheeseburger has been a crowd favorite since it first appeared, barely six months ago. Will the counterpart with the chicken sandwich suffer the same fate?

Don't be too shocked if there are fewer burger options available the next time you swing by Wendy's for a bite to eat. About six months after its launch, the fast-food restaurant purportedly intends to withdraw a burger that has an extremely dedicated fan base.

This week, online speculations that Wendy's well-liked 710-calorie Loaded Nacho Cheeseburger may be removed off menus started to circulate, as first reported by SheFinds. According to a now-deleted Reddit post from a Wendy's customer, they were notified of the discontinuation by an employee, as reported by the website.

The consumer added, "They told me they're getting ready to get rid of the best Wendy's burger I've ever had," according to SheFinds.

Consume This Instead of That! spoke over the phone with representatives from two different Wendy's locations, and both confirmed the burger will be phased out. According to a worker, the 670-calorie Loaded Nacho Chicken Sandwich that was introduced with the burger will also be removed. The employees refused to give a precise date on which the menu items will be removed.

In response to ETNT!'s direct inquiry about the veracity of the claims and for clarification, a Wendy's representative provided the following statement: "Although we constantly innovate and launch novel and captivating products to satisfy our customers' ever-changing preferences, a specific launch date for the Loaded Nacho Cheeseburger has not been announced. Because our menu changes seasonally, be sure to check back for more delectable selections.

The comment implies that the burger might not be around for very long, even though the chronology is unclear.

Just in time for football season, Wendy's introduced the nacho-inspired sandwiches in August 2023. On a jalapeño cheddar bun, the burger is topped with Wendy's signature square beef patties, poblano queso, spicy chipotle sauce, crunchy corn, tortilla strips, lettuce, tomato, and American cheese. The breaded chicken breast fillet in the Loaded Nacho Chicken Sandwich replaces the beef, but it still has the same bun and toppings as the burger.

When the burger was first introduced, Wendy's manager of culinary innovation, Jay Drumm, stated that the company had spent more than two years "perfecting" the burger to make it taste like a nacho in just one bite. Even though the sandwich has only been available for six months, a lot of Wendy's patrons have developed a strong affection for it.

Is it just me, or does the Loaded Nacho burger seem incredibly delicious? One fan recently gushed on Reddit, saying, "I don't really eat Wendy's that often, but I tried it on a whim and it's one of my favorite fast-food burgers now."

Even further, one Redditor referred to the burger as "absolute perfection."

For the time being, orders for the loaded nacho cheeseburger and loaded nacho chicken sandwich can still be placed. Customers would want to make an effort to savor the sandwiches while they can, though, as staff members have reported that they are running low.

There have been other instances in 2024 when a well-liked fast-food item has been discontinued. In order to make place for its updated Cravings Value Menu, Taco Bell also removed the Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito, Beefy Melt Burrito, Fiesta Veggie Burrito, Chicken Chipotle Melt, and $5 Classic Combo earlier this year.
