A Square Peg in a Round Bun: A Stroke of Marketing Genius?
Nope! While the square shape certainly makes Wendy's burgers stand out amongst their burger-shaped brethren, there's a more interesting reason behind the patty's unique form. It all boils down to a man named Dave Thomas, the frosty-haired founder of Wendy's himself.
Back in the day, when fast food was a free-for-all of mystery meat and questionable ingredients, Dave wanted to differentiate Wendy's. He envisioned a burger that screamed freshness, quality, and a commitment to not cutting corners (pun intended).
Enter the square patty. By using fresh, never-frozen beef that couldn't be perfectly molded into a circle, Dave ensured his burgers would have a distinct look. The corners overhanging the bun became a visual cue, a silent promise to the customer: "This ain't your average fast-food patty, friend."

So, How Exactly Do They Square Up Those Burgers?
The secret to Wendy's squaredom isn't some high-tech patty-molding machine (although, that would be pretty cool). Here's the down-low on their grilling process:
- The Fresh Factor: Those glorious squares start their journey as slabs of fresh, not-frozen beef.
- Seasoning Savvy: A sprinkle of salt and pepper awakens the beef's inner flavor potential.
- The Grill Gets Real: The seasoned beef hits the flat-top grill, where a special technique comes into play. The patties are pressed with a square mold during cooking, coaxing them into their signature shape.
- Searing Success: This technique ensures even cooking and a delightful sear on both sides of the patty.
The result? A juicy, flavorful burger that proudly proclaims its rectangular identity.
