Wendy’s Just Launched a Wild New Cheeseburger

This melty new cheeseburger is already going viral—and it's only in Canada.

Fast food brands constantly develop innovative menu items to draw people in. Some are really outside-of-the-box, while others spark the question: Why didn’t I think of that before? Starting today for a limited time, Wendy’s Canada is serving up the ultimate indulgence and a genius pairing of two already delicious foods: A grilled cheese sandwich and a cheeseburger. Here is everything you need to know about the Wendy’s Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger.

The Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger Has Arrived

“The Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger features a quarter pound of fresh, never frozen Canadian beef topped with caramelized onions, creamy mayo, and a melty cheese slice made with Canadian dairy, all served between even more cheese with two grilled cheese sandwiches as buns,” the brand reveals.

The Snackolator also shared about the exciting new addition to the Wendy’s Canada menu. “This is a work of art! Wendy’s just dropped a *Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger,* but… in Canada! This has buns that are both grilled cheese sandwiches and has a quarter pound of beef, melted cheese, carmelized onions, and mayo,” they wrote. “On one hand, this might be a bit *too* much with two grilled cheese sandwiches… but on the other hand this could be absolutely incredible.”

People Want It in the US

What was the overall reaction on social media to the new menu item? To put it simply, Americans were pretty envious. “I didn’t know Canada could do something so American,” one of them wrote.  “HORRIBLE DAY to live in america,” added another. “Why they always get the good stuff,” a third asked.

Others pointed out that a grilled cheese cheeseburger has been done before, with some of them likening it to a patty melt. “Ive had a fresh version of this at a food cart once and it was life changing,” someone said. “Imma just stick with the grilled cheese burger from five guys,” another added. “Anyone in Upstate NY can get the same thing at Tully’s, and it’s magnificent,” someone revealed.

Others Point Out the Nutritional Impact
