If you live in Sacramento, California; Providence, Rhode Island; or Chattanooga…um, (uses Google) Tennessee (sorry, Tennesseans, I suck at geography), you are one of the few people right now who can wrap their mouths around Wendy’s Green Chile Quesoburger.
The test item features a 100 percent beef patty, spicy poblano queso sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa verde, three strips of Applewood smoked bacon, and red onion slices on a toasted premium bun. The burger has 550 calories, 32 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 1130 milligrams of sodium, 35 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, and 34 grams of protein.
Wendy’s is also offering only in those cities a Queso Baked Potato that takes the salsa verde and poblano queso sauce and puts its on a baked potato with shredded cheddar cheese. The baked potato variation has 400 calories, 10 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 25 milligrams of cholesterol, 540 milligrams of sodium, 66 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of fiber, and 13 grams of protein.

Need to bring that goodness to Ohio!!
Can you afford to board the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
I was originally going to get the asiago ranch chicken sandwich and saw this instead… Its pretty good with a decent amount of heat to it (hotter than those weak ghost pepper fries), and freshly made. Great burger.
I’m glad I read this. I’m in the drive thru now and had just ordered it
Good amount of cheese and the right amount of heat. I like that this style of salsa verde is more of the spicy type as opposed to the sweet type more commonly found at other restaurants. The bacon from wendys is always a plus. They always do it right. Also, I’m glad they went with the shredded cheese melted onto it. The pic had me worried as I thought it may have been more of a nacho cheese sauce which would have been too runny and messy. The only thing I wish it had was more produce. It only had the onions and green chilies from the verde. I thought it could use lettuce and tomatoes to add more dimension to the overall taste and to make the burger look better stacked. I give this one a B+
Best burger wendy’s has ever had. Hands down !!!!! Loved it !!!!!! Really hope they bring it out full throttle!
