I like Arby’s. The roast beef sandwich with their Arby’s sauce, their beef and cheddar, even their chicken sandwiches. They are delicious. Their curly fries have no equal, and the potato cakes are great too.
I don’t get why this is an unpopular opinion. I love Arby’s. And I’m extremely sad that the only one within a 50 mile radius closed during COVID and I can’t have Arby’s anymore.
They said it on the Simpsons that one time, and now everyone thinks they’re edgy and original for referencing it.
It was a thing with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show too. They did a nice sendoff for him when he was leaving the show
All about the horsey sauce
Quick question.
Why ?
A beef sandwich? If I go out it’s because I can’t make it at home. I can make a beef sandwich at home for next to nothing. Why would I pay someone to do that for me ?
Maybe it’s just me. Probably is
It’s not just you. I usually make mine at home too because i think they’re far superior, buuuut every now and then you want something different. I gotta say their roast beef sandwich is pretty good and i can’t get curly fries like that anywhere else near me. Same argument could be made for burgers.
As a former employee, their roast beef would be very difficult to buy from a store or replicate at home.
Any attempt would likely be superior to what’s sold at locations.
In what world? It’s roast beef ?
I own beef. I cook it and then eat. ? Where am I going wrong?
I’m assuming the sauce or rub or whatever is costed in sugar or something sweet. Not impossible to replicate it.
It’s very processed bits of beef from other sources blended together then steamed in a bag to keep shape. Like a giant beef hot dog.
I mean, most people don’t have a meat slicer at home, and most store-bought sliced meat isn’t going to have the same consistency as you’d get from a proper slicer.
But, it’s the same reason people eat out anywhere: Because they don’t want to make it, themselves. I can make a chicken and rice dish at home, but I’ll still go to Panda Express from time to time. I can make my own burgers, but that doesn’t stop me from going to McDonald’s once in a while. I can unleash diarrhea with the force of 300 PSI into my own toilet from home, but sometimes I’ll let Chipotle handle that for me. Sometimes it’s just about convenience.
Do you need a meat slicer ? If you have a sharp knife you can cut to similar thinness.
If that’s the only obstacle, it’s very overcomeable.
Fair. I don’t eat out unless I’m eating something that I can’t make. I’m just super duper tight fisted. I’m not paying someone to make a Subpar meal for me. Tipping and driving. That’s less convenient than just throwing a beef roast in the oven for a few hours.
But each to their own
Yeah easily. Don’t think you need an expensive tool. Just a good quality knife. Sharp. Sharpen the blade before use and I don’t see why I couldn’t cut it to mm thickness.
I’m sure I’ve cut beef joints to translucent thickness before. If that’s the only thing stopping you. It’s do able
What cut of meat do you use to get that “greasy but in a guilty pleasure way” taste, how do you prepare it, and how convenient is it when we are in the middle of a busy day or driving through Iowa on I-35 and need something to eat around Dows?
I was raised on Arby’s, their fries are the bees knees.
Back when calories didn’t matter to me (and before I stopped eating meat), I used to split their 5 for $5 roast beef, toss the extra buns, and layer beef + a generous pump of Arby’s sauce, and a pump of horsey sauce on repeat. In total there was ~3 sandwiches worth of beef, ~5 packets worth of Arby’s sauce, and 3 packets of horsey sauce.
Toss in an order of curly fries and a jamocha shake, and you’ve got a meal fit for a king.
My other favorite growing up: there was an Asian restaurant next door to Arby’s that made a really great sesame ginger salad. I’d go there for a salad, hop over to Arby’s for an order of chicken strips, and make the most delicious Chinese chicken salad.
Ooh you brought back some good food memories.
So… if I agree with your opinion, am I supposed to downvote? I’m confused. Also, if I agree with the thesis but disagree with almost every supporting statement, do I upvote after I downvoted, leaving no vote? I’m too old for this internet stuff.
To sum up:
- I like Arby’s in general
- Their cheese sauce is awful
- Curly fries in general are awful and Arby’s curly fries are worse
- I loved the potato cakes but they stopped selling them
Curly fries are AWFUL???
Sorry I cannot agree to this, curly fries are the bees knees.
The actual spiral curly fries are great, the crescent moon ones just poke the inside of my mouth
