    I work for Wendys. Work really hard every day!!! Im about to be a manager next year. But i never knew Dave Thomas was a partly a contributor to Colonel Sander's Kentucky Fried Chicken. That would be prettty cool if they conglomerated and came together to share each others profits but who knows. I Love Dave Thomas Adoption Foundation. Because I was adopted from Brazil. Thank you so much for this video!!! Loved it!!!❤🫶🕊✌️

    This man truly has a heart of gold. Not only did he believe in what really matters and perusing true happiness but he gave just as much back to the world as he took. The guy made a non profit orphanage dedicated to foster care.

    I think it's so cool how Mr Thomas had such an impact on Colonel Sanders, and vice versa. Both men have incredible and inspirational backstories....amazing.

      Thank you so much for watching! Yes both had truly remarkable and pretty unbelievable stories of their rise to the top. Thank you again for commenting and subscribing. Much more coming soon! 👊 -Ali

    This is hands down one of the best documentaries I've seen in quite some time. Dave Thomas was truly an incredible man who absolutely changed fast food. I never knew he had such a big impact on the creation of KFC. That would explain how he was able to out maneuver BK and McDonald's while under the radar. I've always preferred Wendy's over BK or McDonald's because their quality is always better. I'll only ever go to McDonald's or BK as an absolute last resort. How does this documentary not have 100k+ views???? Definitely kept me interested and I learned some things about Dave Thomas I never knew. This was so well put together. It's a shame there aren't several million views, but hopefully this will change. Truly awesome documentary. Definitely deserves 5 stars plus!!!

    just as Burger King has been attacking McDonald's and Wendy's left and right, Wendy's responds back with Clara Peller, an octogenarian woman from the East Coast, who asked the one million-dollar question which of course was, "Where's The Beef?"

    Until I watched The Food That Built America, I had no idea that Dave Thomas started out as a franchise owner of KFC. I still remember the Wendy's commercials with him. He was truly revolutionary. When McDonald's and Burger King were famous for using frozen burgers, he pledged that his would always be fresh. And he used the leftover meat to make chili. Plus, his square burgers made the competition's look smaller by comparison. Truly a smart businessman.

  • @postersm7141
    @postersm7141 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    At 51 years old I can still remember working for both a McDonald’s and a Wendy’s in my teenage years. I was always amazed by the quality of Wendy’s food. The burgers would literally come in on metal trays completely fresh and never frozen. Today I still prefer Wendy’s when I’m in the market for a fast food burger!!

    • @TREPFLIX
      @TREPFLIX  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you so much for watching. Truly appreciated! And that’s awesome you worked at both. I’ll always remember going to Wendy’s with the carpets and salad bar and just feeling like it was so fancy! Lol

  • @anobodydontgo3023
    @anobodydontgo3023 2 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    Mr. Dave has by far the most vigorous and inspiring story yet!! The fact that he was already rich and didn't seek out being richer but still did is inspirational in itself!! I am going to burger King next and I'll see. But as a foster child myself I can relate to this one more!! Except I'm black and with less of a foot in the door. I wish I had the opportunity in which someone believed in me. I would have made them proud!! But my story isn't over. I'm definitely happy to have seen this and thanks for the content

    • @TREPFLIX
      @TREPFLIX  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This is absolutely fantastic. I love the care that went into this, and I look forward to more videos from you like this one. My one note, if I may, is that it really took me out of the story when you'd blast modern music for 30 seconds. As an editor, it was a bit loud. Either way, I'm subscribed and ready for the next one!

    • @TREPFLIX
      @TREPFLIX  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much for watching and subbing and the kind words. The feedback on the music and volume is also helpful. We will definitely be considering that going forward. New video is almost ready! 👊

    I used to be an investor in Wendy's back in highschool. When Dave pass away and Arby's brought them out I sold my stop. I am glad I did because the quality has went down

    • @TREPFLIX
      @TREPFLIX  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’ve definitely heard that sentiment about the quality going down but they are still in my opinion still head and shoulders above McDonalds and Burger King in taste.
      And they do continue to crank out unique offerings “Pumpkin Spice Frosty” “Loaded Nacho Cheeseburger” as most recent examples.
      As well as having the best deals in a tight economy with 4 for 4 etc.
      Thanks for watching and commenting! Much appreciated!

    I discovered Wendy's in 1980 in Kamloops. At the Valleyview location ,McDonald's and Wendy's were right next to each other , ( now there's a car wash between them )
    I'd get a TRIPLE BURGER and a drink at the drive thru , and eat the Wendy burger while going through the McDonald's drive thru . I would also give them the Wendy's garbage!
    Gotta love those McDonald's fries !

    The quality of Wendy's food was always better than the others, also the way the food was assembled. McDonalds has frustrated me for years with misaligned burgers and fish sandwiches that half of the cheese was stuck to one side of the box and the condiments on the other side. Burger King is still the worst on flavor.

      Try a big Mac you have to reassemble it yourself everytime. I haven't eaten McDonald's in years for that reason. Arby's is a close second.

    @goldenagenut 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Dave Thomas WAS Wendy's. The perfect spokesman, rags to riches, likeable... His death was a major blow to the chain, which still hasn't really figured out how to recover. First Wendy herself was chosen as a spokesperson,, then a skinny prettier version was presented but she just didnt catch on either. They still haven't found a solution and have faded out a bit. They need a totally new advertising campaign, perhaps using all the old footage of Dave tastefully, show an old commercial, then continue on talking about Dave and how his memory has inspired an old or a new menu item - I'm no ad expert, but they really need a new image/introduction to the younger market and reminder to the older crowd. I'd still rather eat there than McDonald's or Burger King.

    • @TREPFLIX
