Wendy’s. The trip.
I have been meaning to do a follow up to this post! I wanted to share a bit about the trip in general and my experience as a whole. If you have followed me for any length of time you know I am a bit of an introvert, I don’t exactly like to be away from my family and can count on one hand the times that I have traveled alone. I had nerves in my throat for a few days about the whole thing. Plus for all I knew I was going to be a big nerd on camera, completely shut down and no words come out for 24 hours.
I stepped off of the plane and expected to see one camera guy…. you can see by the pictures that a whole crew was waiting for me. And you can probably tell by the beginning of this video that I was sooooo nervous.
Well, everything was fine in a matter of minutes. The film guys were so incredibly kind, the Wendy’s team made me feel so at home and welcomed…everyone just put my nerves to ease in a matter of moments!
That night I got to meet the other bloggers and everyone was just absolutely amazing. I don’t know much about food (I am in a full-on attempt to learn more as of late) so they were so great with me and taught me so much. It was nice to take four completely different girls who have a common thread (blogging) and instantly have so much to talk about.
The second day we went to the Wendy’s headquarters and I was blown away. The entire feel was modern and chic. The Wendy’s team was so kind and even gave us a tour of their taste kitchen and showed us where they conduct all of their taste testing. We heard from a variety of different people and all of our questions were answered.
I would work with Wendy’s again in a heartbeat. It means a lot to me how someone treats another…. I know that has nothing to do with food and food was the point of me being there but as someone who has worked with a variety of companies and sees everything across the spectrum, I can honestly say they were wonderful and it was truly a pleasure being involved in this project!

Casey! Thank you for sharing more of the details…I was just so excited to live vicariously through you and Bridget. 🙂 And being on camera?! I agree. Total introvert over here and I have a hard time coming up with things to say on the spot. You did SO great though!
What a fun trip!! Was that pita thing any good? I want to try one soooo bad. haha.
it was!! you should try!! i loved the bacon/ranch version the best!
You are just thee cutest! I'm a fairly new follower (and fellow north Texas resident!) and loved seeing you on camera! Every time I pass a Wendy's I think of you and that sandwich…..as someone who rarely eats fast food (I normally turn my nose up to anything but Chickfila!) I'm dying to try one of these!!

I had one of these sandwiches over the weekend I loved it! I really didn't think I could eat something so fresh from a fast food resturant
hope you had fun in Columbus! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that city 🙂 I used to live there during my internships in college… I hope you got to try some jeni's ice cream, the Dublin location was right up the street!
cheers.
Glad your experience was a good one! I have been so tempted to try one of those sandwiches ever since I watched the video awhile ago, I may have to remedy that this weekend:)
What a fun adventure- Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE that you went and shared this with us! I still have yet to try this sandwhich but its on my list! And yes, how you treat others is HUGE!!! Its good to know that Wendy's cares.
I cannot stop eating the asiago ranch flatbread! SO GOOD!
Hi Friend 🙂 I'm happy you shared more about your trip, I was so curious to hear what you were up to. I'm a fan of Wendy's, so I'm glad to know they are a good group of people. I'll have to be sure to try the new flatbread sandwich soon. Have a great week xo
Thanks so much for sharing! We went to Wendy's tonight and I tried the Asiago Ranch sandwich and it was amazing for fast food. I enjoyed watching the video. Thanks again for sharing.
Sounds like it was such a great experience, I`m glad they were so nice that it eased your nerves. It does sound a bit overwhelming, I for sure would have been nervous too!

Dear Casey,
How cool! Wendy's has always been my favorite fast-food place because (at least in NE) they are the only ones readily available who put REAL veggies on their typical hamburgers. 🙂 I'm sure regardless of your nervous jitters they were happy to add your beautiful spirit and self to their project.
Love,

SO fun. And I'm sure an incredible experience. 🙂
Love hearing about your experience with Wendy's. It sounds so fun and I keep meaning to go try the new sandwich so thanks for the reminder! haha
