    Wendy's Welcomes New Cheesy Bacon Cheeseburger and More
    Wendy's serves up the new Cheesy Bacon Cheeseburger as its latest limited-time burger. The new menu item is joined by the new Chicken Tenders Ranch Wrap and the return of the chain's Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich. The Cheesy Bacon Cheeseburger features a quarter-pound beef patty, applewood-smoked bacon, two slices of American cheese, and cheddar cheese sauce (the same sauce that you can get on the chain's baked potatoes), served on a toasted bun. The Chicken Tenders Ranch Wrap is similar to the Grilled Chicken Wrap, only with chicken tenders instead of grilled chicken. It features two crispy-fried chicken tenders, ranch, lettuce, and shredded cheddar cheese, wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. Available through April 5, 2026, Wendy's Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich features a crispy-fried, panko-crusted, wild-caught Alaskan pollock fish filet served with shredded lettuce, dill tartar sauce, American cheese, and crinkle-cut pickles on a toasted bun. Prices vary, but the Cheesy Bacon Cheeseburger ranges from $7.29 (with a single patty) to $9.29 (with triple patties) at my local Wendy's here in Los Angeles. The Chicken Tenders Ranch Wrap goes for $6.79, while the Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich is $6.29. Photo via Wendy's.

    Review: McDonald's - Big Arch Burger
    McDonald's Big Arch is a limited-time burger that features two quarter-pound beef patties, three slices of pasteurized process white cheddar cheese, crispy-fried onions, slivered fresh onions, pickles, shredded iceberg lettuce, and new Big Arch Sauce, served on a toasted sesame and poppy seed bun. I paid $8.59 for a Big Arch at my local McDonald's. Big Arch Sauce is described by McDonald's as "the perfect balance of mustard, pickle, and sweet tomato flavors. It comes off as a more mustard-forward, more complex, tangier take on Big Mac Sauce. It's familiar but different. They forgot the pickles on my burger, but I didn't miss them, as the Big Arch Sauce provided plenty of acidity. The bun was softer but less plush than the typical McDonald's sesame seed bun. It didn't have the same spring as the regular bun. The poppy seeds added some visual appeal and a smattering of texture. The beef patties were moist, sporting a coarse grind and a well-seared crust, providing an enjoyable mix of flavor and texture. The white cheddar was milder than American cheese. It was nicely melted and complemented the beef well. The crispy onions provided a bit of sweetness and delicate crispiness, while the slivered onions were good for a watery crunch and onion-y bite. The lettuce was mostly there for visual appeal and color. Overall, McDonald's Big Arch turned out pretty well. It's basically a meatier, cheesier, and slightly fancier take on the chain's signature Big Mac (minus the middle bun).
