Former McDonald's Chef Defects To Wendy's

Chef Mike Haracz left his job as a Mcdonald's Corp's MCD corporate chef in 2019 and appears to have defected to Wendys Co WEN.

What Happened

Haracz said in an August 2019 tweet that he left his post at McDonald's to assume a "more behind-the-scenes" role in the food industry.

On Wednesday, he made what appears to be a comeback in the fast food space and is promoting the soon-to-launch Wendy's breakfast menu.

Haracz said in a video posted on his Twitter profile and on Wendy's page that the smaller fast food chain should "stick to what it's good at" — that is, lunch and dinner.

He goes on to say he has "many doubts" that Wendy's can put together a compelling breakfast sandwich. But he proves himself wrong in the commercial.

After taking a bite of a Breakfast Baconator sandwich loaded with egg, sausage, bacon, and cheese, Haracz has just two words to say: "holy sh--."

In another commercial, Haracz samples the Wendy's Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit sandwich. He starts off by saying chicken for breakfast is not a good idea, but one bite changes his mind. This time around, he has three words to say: "Damn, that's good."

Maybe you've had a chicken biscuit, but you've never had anything that matches the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. Hey Mike, sup? pic.twitter.com/EGDJpwCfBc

The Frosty-ccino receives equal praise from the chef, although this time around he has no words left to describe the coffee-themed Frosty: "It's really that ... it's really that ... yeah."

No more doubts, no more hesitations, Frosty-ccino is the thing you've been missing in your morning. Pretty sure our boy Mike can't wait for this one. pic.twitter.com/9neoivhSqy
