Wendy's Chili & White Castle

Wendy’s chili, a popular choice for wintertime drive-thru visits, has earned national recognition. According to a recent survey by USA TODAY, Wendy’s chili ranks sixth among the nation’s favorite fast-food side dishes. It is the sole Wendy’s item to make the list in the newspaper’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.

White Castle’s 1921 slider, a seared patty topped with steamed onions, secured the 10th spot in the rankings for favorite fast-food burgers.

Main St. The Habit Burger Grill, known for its presence mainly on the East and West coasts, was voted the favorite for burgers. Del Taco’s fries were also a favorite among readers.

Wendy’s chili has been a staple on the menu since the chain’s inception in 1969. Notably, Cincinnati-based Skyline Chili was recognized as the top regional fast-food restaurant. Skyline was serving chili two decades prior, in 1969, when Dave Thomas opened the first Wendy’s in downtown Columbus. Wendy’s initially introduced chili to utilize extra ground beef, staying true to its promise of never freezing its beef.
