Wendy’s is pushing the boundaries of fast food once again, this time with a daring new burger that replaces the classic sesame seed bun with two grilled cheese sandwiches. This cheesy twist promises to deliver a comforting yet indulgent experience that could change how people think about burgers.
A New Take on the Grilled Cheese Burger
Earlier this month, Wendy’s launched the Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger in Canada. Unlike past versions offered by other chains like Sonic and Five Guys—where the burger was served on grilled buns or Texas toast—Wendy’s uses two full grilled cheese sandwiches as the bun. Inside, the burger features a quarter-pound beef patty, topped with caramelized onions, mayonnaise, and a slice of cheese. The idea follows the trend of bold menu items, similar to KFC’s Double Down, which replaced bread with fried chicken.
Currently Available Only in Canada
For now, this unique burger is exclusive to Wendy’s Canadian restaurants. It is part of a celebration marking 50 years of Wendy’s serving communities across Canada. The Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger will be available for a limited time nationwide.
Possible U.S. Arrival?
There is a good chance this burger could appear in the U.S. market. Wendy’s International Culinary Innovation Manager, Hayley Kianoff, mentioned in a press release that Canadians are getting the “first taste” of the burger, implying that it will likely launch in the United States soon.
Kianoff said, “At Wendy’s, we’re passionate about bringing bold flavors and memorable experiences to our fans. This year marks 50 years of Wendy’s in Canada, and to celebrate, we’re giving Canadians the first taste of our new Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger, which is crafted with cheesy, juicy quality in every single bite.”
The company’s decision to issue a press release specifically for this international menu item further hints at plans to expand its availability.
Additional Summer Promotions in Canada
Alongside the burger launch, Wendy’s Canada is offering summer deals on beverages. From May 26 through June 29, customers can buy small drinks such as the Frosty Fizz, Frosty-ccino, and Iced Coffee for $1.99. New flavor options for the Frosty-ccino and Iced Coffee—vanilla, chocolate, or caramel—will also be available to customize drinks this summer.
Wendy’s grilled cheese burger is a bold step in fast food innovation, blending comfort food with a playful twist that cheese lovers won’t want to miss.
