Fresh Ground Coffee, Caramel, Brownies with Oreos, I'm THERE!

We were invited last night to a private event to check out something new. This is the first thing that caught my eye, and I bet you would never guess where I am?

This is the next thing that caught my eye after the fireplace was big screen TVs.
The place was packed and kind of difficult for me to get around in my power chair, so I parked myself by the fireplace to enjoy the ambiance. Any ideas of where I am yet? I bet this will be the clue that helps you figure it out.
I bet you know now? :) Wendy's! It's the location at Paradise Valley Mall in Phoenix, AZ They are doing a new thing and this is the first store to open with the new ideas. They took to this Wendy's down to the foundation and built a beautiful restaurant, using a lot of stainless steel and red. The seating above, with the fireplace (which is cool to touch, so now I have a new thing on my dream list!) reminds me of hotel or resort seating. Another location with the new design to come soon.
Redhead Roasters is the name of their new fresh ground coffee line of drinks. Yum! Y'all know how I love coffee! I didn't try any last night, I sure wish I would have!
The menu boards are video screens and very inviting. They also have some as you walk in the door promoting new food. On the right of the menu, under beverages, it says there are 100's of choice in their new beverage dispenser.
This is the new drink dispenser, I couldn't get near with my chair, so I had someone else take a pic, otherwise I would have shown you the menus on the dispenser. Choose your base drink on the screen, then you have choices of flavors to add, like vanilla, or cherry (Next time I will try cherry vanilla coke!). 


Before
independent.co.uk/
"thicker 1/4 lb beef patty than its predecessor, topped with crinkle-cut pickles, sweet red onions, thick tomato slices and topped with a buttered, toasted bun that lost some of its signature square edges. The burger is also available as a double and triple-layer sandwich." 



After
The new burger is much better, much juicier and better flavor. I think it give Five Guys and In-And-Out Burger a run for their money. I absolutely stuffed myself, and still had all this left. I did however leave a little room for the new goodies.

          Brownies, those are Oreos on the top      
















It’s our creamy, classic Frosty swirled with all-natural brown sugar granola, fresh red and green apple slices, and real caramel. It’s a tasty, feel-good treat.










                                                                 
However, my favorite was one I tried last week when they gave me a sample - the Caramel Shake - it's SO good!   The changes to the burgers, the new desserts, I love the new stuff and look forward to years of continued patronage to Wendy's. Maybe you will see me at the new location this weekend? If you do, say 'hi' to us!
