Food prices have increased across the board, but fast food burgers have been particularly hard hit. Overall food inflation since 2019 has been over 30%, but many fast food menu items have seen average jumps of 55%.

So with everything seeming stacked against us, can anyone still get a cheap burger in this country? Thankfully there are still a few options.
The sandwich starts with a fried, golden chicken filet that is topped with Monterey Jack cheese, a crisp piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a dollop of ranch sauce with bacon bits.

While there have been no official reports about the frozen patties' performance since testing began in May,
These delicious golden fries are a simple combination of potatoes, vegetable oil, and sea salt. Wendy's website publishes full nutrition facts and ingredient details for those fries, which includes potassium and fiber figures that are higher than some competitors because the fries keep the potato skin. That "natural-cut" approach (along with the no trans fats and transparent nutrition labeling) is the basis for why many would consider Wendy's the healthiest fast food fries you can buy right now in the U.S., provided you choose portions carefully.
When visiting Wendy's, it's essential to know that not all secret menu items are universally available. Items like the T-Rex Burger can exceed typical protein goals but might catch some workers off guard.
