The game-changing cheesy bites will have fans leaving their boring order behind and making the transfer to Wendy's

DUBLIN, Ohio, Aug. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Wendy's® is throwing a flavor-packed touchdown into the hearts and taste buds of fans everywhere with its latest menu additions to the Made to Crave line-up – the Loaded Nacho Cheeseburger, Loaded Nacho Chicken Sandwich and Queso Fries. This winning combination of crunchy, cheesy goodness will have fans waving goodbye to their bland meals and transferring to Wendy's. It's time for a flavor upgrade.

A New Recruit Worth Rooting For: Loaded Nacho Cheeseburger

The new Loaded Nacho Cheeseburger delivers the unbeatable experience of a fully loaded nacho platter in every mouthwatering, unforgettable bite. Wendy's star player, the classic, fresh never frozen* square beef patty, is generously crowned with melty cheese, roasted poblano queso, spicy corn and tortilla strips, topped with a tantalizing spicy chipotle sauce, lettuce and tomato. The all-out blitz of flavors and spices are sandwiched between a towering jalapeño cheddar bun that packs a zesty taste with a kick of spice, creating an unforgettable culinary experience for fans. For those who are 'team chicken', sub in a Loaded Nacho Chicken Sandwich for your game day.

"At Wendy's, we are dedicated to creating exceptional, craveable experiences for our passionate fans, and our talented culinary team continues to deliver time and time again with our stacked Made to Crave roster," said Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. Chief Marketing Officer for The Wendy's Company. "The new Loaded Nacho Cheeseburger pays homage to two American tailgating classics – cheeseburgers and nachos – and will have fans leaving the other guys behind and making the transfer to Wendy's this season."

Queso Fries Join the Starting Lineup

Gear up to rally behind a rush of flavor with the all-new Queso Fries that are anything BUT your average cheese fries. Topped with the same delicious roasted poblano queso from the Loaded Nacho Sandwiches and mouthwatering shredded cheddar cheese, every bite of Wendy's natural-cut Hot & Crispy Queso Fries are bound to take fans' tastebuds on a cheesy, melt-in-your mouth journey to the end zone.

"We're always looking to push the envelope with our signature Hot and Crispy Fries to give our fans layers of delicious flavors combined with the crispiness you won't find anywhere else," said John Li, Global Vice President of Culinary Innovation at The Wendy's Company. "Our new Queso Fries are the perfect crispy complement to our Loaded Nacho Sandwich, delivering fans a classic tailgating experience, bite after bite."
