It was for their new &#8220;Wild Mountain&#8221; menu. Now, what in the world could that be? Porcupine burgers? Pinecone soup? You gotta hand it to them for coming up with an interesting name. It might actually get me into a Wendy&#8217;s just out of curiousity. (I do like their burgers, as far as fast-food is concerned) The new menu sounds much better than their other &#8220;Tuscan&#8221; menu. I am not sure what Tuscan food is, or even if it resembles anything that people in Tuscany eat. Maybe some kind of herb-chicken thing?&#8230; I think it sounds a little too elitist for me. I&#8217;d rather feast on Wild Mountain fare.<\/p>\n<p>I did a little research, and found that Wendy&#8217;s and Baja Fresh are owned by the same company, while there is a similar alliance between Carl&#8217;s Jr.\/Hardees and La Salsa\/Green Burrito, not to mention the McDonald&#8217;s &#8211; Chipotle axis of evil&#8230;  It&#8217;s kind of bizarre to see certain fast-food restaurants actually share the same building too. There&#8217;s an A&#038;W\/Long John Silver&#8217;s near our place, and you see lots of Pizza Hut\/Taco Bell combinations along the highways too. I guess it makes sense for the company to do that, and it does make it more convenient for the consumer too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning on my way to work, I drove by the Wendy&#8217;s and I noticed that they had a new fluorescent advertisement in their window.
