A social media celebrity made a three-hour journey to Co Cork to sample the food at Ireland’s first Wendy’s location<\/a> \u2013 and one menu item left him “surprised”.<\/p>\n

Garron Noone, who boasts four million followers on Instagram and TikTok, traveled from Dublin<\/a> to experience the fast food chain that operates 6,000 locations across America<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This month, Cork welcomed Ireland’s first Wendy’s outlet, renowned for its square patties, fiery chicken sandwiches and signature Frosty treat.<\/p>\n

Opening his newest vlog, Garron couldn’t resist poking fun at the destination. He said: “Ok, so Ireland has just gotten a Wendy’s<\/a>, this is obviously huge news. I am up early to make the pilgrimage. It is about 6am. I think Wendy’s is about three hours away.<\/p>\n

“This may be the furthest anyone has ever traveled for a Wendy’s, and I am happy to be the man to do it.”, reports Cork Beo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Showcasing his comedic flair, he continued: “And so began the long and treacherous journey to Cork \u2013 home to Wendy’s in Ireland.”<\/p>\n

Upon reaching The Rebel County, Garron was instantly amazed by the lengthy line for Wendy’s<\/a> at the Mahon Point Shopping Center.<\/p>\n

He added: “They have balloons up and everything. This is a massive event for Ireland.”<\/p>\n

Garron was accompanied on his adventure by fellow social media personality James Doyle. The pair sampled various selections from bacon burgers, chicken sandwiches, chicken nuggets to chili cheese fries.<\/p>\n

And discussing the meat quality, Garron remarked: “The chicken is actually very good. I’m surprised. I wasn’t expecting much but the chicken is nice.”<\/p>\n

Regarding the renowned Frosty dessert<\/a>, which blends ice cream and milkshake, the Mayo native described it as “delicious” before delivering his comprehensive assessment.<\/p>\n

He stated: “I think I am going to give Wendy’s a solid 6.8 out of ten. I think it is a strong seven if you are in the mood for it. It is up there now, you know.<\/p>\n

“I don’t give away 6.8s very easily. Michelin star is like a 7.2 so I’ve yet to have food that is an eight.”<\/p>\n

Wrapping up, he noted: “Also, a lot of Americans told me I had to dip my fries into a Frosty, so here you go, I’ve done that for you.<\/p>\n

“Ehm, and I have to conclude that it’s absolutely fine. Everybody was like, if you dip your fries into a Frosty your mind will be blown but no, my mind is very much intact.<\/p>\n
