The [Wendy's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-cheese-cheeseburger) French Onion Cheeseburger is the brand's latest addition to its menu at participating locations in Canada that's crafted with taste, texture and indulgence in mind. The burger starts off with fresh, never-frozen Canadian beef that's topped with two slices of cheese before being paired with [caramelized onions, crisp onions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-onion-whopper) and a final drizzling of seasoned mayo sauce. The burger can be ordered as a [single, double or triple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-juicy-burger), which boast one, two or three beef patties, respectively.

The Wendy's French Onion Cheeseburger is a limited time offering and could be a polarizing sandwich option given the hefty dose of onions in the recipe. The burger, however, could garner a cult status amongst customers open to different taste and texture experiences.
