Veggie Burgers at Wendy's!?
Wendy's is testing veggie burgers at a 24 locations across 3 states. My friends and I made a website to let people know where they could get the new burger. Unfortunately the burgers aren't available nationwide yet, so we're working to convince HQ to make them more available.

Thank you for making this!

Why, though, are they doing black bean burgers instead of soy- or gluten-based patties? If anyone knows, I'm sincerely curious. In my experience (and Wendy's might have a better recipe), black bean burgers a) smoosh out of the bun when you bite into them, b) end up tasting like a mouth full of starch, and c) people usually feel the need to make them spicy, which really limits the potential audience.

Have you tried this burger, thebigdeadwaltz? How is it?

I have wanted a veggie burger so badly for so long at Wendy's (I love their fries the best) that I will even settle for a black bean burger, that is how desperate I am. Of course, they haven't even begun testing the waters in Canada so I will have a while to wait yet.
