Chicken Bacon Swiss.

I don't even generally like bacon on a sandwich.

 

[DietRob]

I love the Daily Show Arby's jabs especially when they come out of nowhere. Jon will always follow up with how he has nothing against their food during transition to his next piece.

Right, it's been a running gag for several years now.

 

[speculawyer]

I think Arby's could turn me into a vegetarian.

Spoiler

Or at least a non-mammal eater.

 

[USC-fan]

As a level 4 vegan, this campaign offends me. I'll be in my loft creating protest signs.

They even call their side items "Friends of Meat" now. Triggered!

lol.....

You can never have too much bacon.

 

[soco]

when will the bacon thing finally go back to just being a normal food again? it's interesting to watch the trend propagate through different groups of people though.

Some other great ones:

There's no god so why not worship our smokehouse brisket? You'll literally get the same results.

Best case scenario: Gay or straight, your marriage ends when the person you love most dies and leaves you to rot in solitude. Eat at Arbys.

Drain the blood, cure and slice the flesh, season and fry the potatoes, feed them the sugar water. Be born. Toil. Die. Arby's. We sell food.

It's Monday. Drive drunk. Kill bums. Eat Arbys. Fuck strangers. Burn shit. Punch grandmas. Steal. Get high. Die alone. Arbys: whatever.

Your phrasing of this is interesting; do you believe that the jokes in this ad campaign are harmful to vegetarians in some way?

Nope. Just appreciate a joke picking on the majority more than a joke picking on a minority.

If I cared more I am sure I could type up a coherent argument about seemingly innocent jokes collectively acting in an insidious manner when it comes to alternate life styles, but I am not actually offended here.

 

[Netherscourge]

I think you might be taking their joke ad campaign a bit too seriously

This.

I thought it was pretty obvious myself, but guess not...

 

[M-PG71C]

I love Arby's too, Roast Beef and Cheddar with curly fries. So good.

 

[Toxi]

You know, it must be annoying being a vegetarian when everyone's preaching at you or making fun of you for your dietary choice.

It's like Jesus, stop being so insecure about the fact that some people don't eat dead animals.

What does insecurity have to do with it?

 

[Valnen]

Arby's looks shit

They're pretty tasty.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Didn't know people hated Arby's so much. It's just about the only fast food I can stomach. But even then I only get it once or twice a year.

 

[PaulExcellent]

I dunno.
On one hand, it's kinda funny.
On the other, Arby's makes my bum hurt.

 

[water_wendi]

i dont get the Arbys hate.

 

[Fury451]

My diagnosis as well.

It's kind of dumb, but harmless.

I like their "market fresh' stuff. Not sure if it's still on the menu but there was a turkey sandwich i used to eat a lot a several years ago.

it's just funny, like killer whales

[Messofanego]

As a non-American, I only know of Arbys thanks to Jon Stewart.

 

[DuffDry]

Whatever guys, their chicken cordon bleu sandwich is legit.

 

[Fried Food]

Arby's is freaking great. When I was a kid I used to be all about the Chicken Bacon Swiss or Chicken Cordon Blue. My dad or mom would bring it home for dinner on Fridays and I'd eat it while watching Toonami. I fondly remember eating a Chick Bacon Swiss while watching Blue Submarine No6

There is an Arby's near me but I haven't gone because it's kind of a hassle to get there (by my standards at least), I'd have to make a U turn and shit.

This is a great review of the Smokehouse Brisket sandwich. These guys are great in general: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rFnJf2fITY

 

[Azuran]

I swear half of the people that supposedly hate Arby's only do it because someone on TV told them to.

I haven't been there in a while but I know their chicken bacon swiss sandwich is amazing.

I think it has a lot to do with it.

I doubt anyone's willing to discuss this in good faith, though.

I'm laughing so hard at the phone number 1-855-MEAT-HLP lmao

 

[MattKeil]

I love meat and will never, ever go vegetarian, but if there's one thing that could potentially convince me to give up meat, it's Arby's.

 

[Miletius]

I've had Arby's before and I just don't really see the appeal. I get that some of you guys might like it for nostalgia or because of certain sandwiches that might be good but in general Arby's is really bland. The buns are bland, the meats are bland, the toppings are bland and overcooked and the sauces are bland as well.

The ad is cute, I guess, but bacon being a vegetarian's Anathema has kind of been overdone at this point. Arby's late to the party, as usual.

 

[bootsthecat]

I don't get the hate. Their (new?) rueben isn't half bad, and I like their fries. My biggest beef is that they're kinda pricey these days for a fast food joint.

 

[Tesseract]

best mozzarella sticks in the business

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

The best thing and only worthwhile thing (IMO) that Arbys sells is also a vegetarian item: Their curly fries.

Seriously, everything else on their decrepit menu can drown in a pool of piss, but their curly fries are my second favorite fast food fries.

 

[Aselith]

brown sugar-glazed pepper bacon

this sounds like the best food thing ever made.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

I actually forgot they sold those. I used to go to Arby's in high school with a friend when they were having their Pick 5 for $5. We'd each get a sandwich and small fry, then split a 4-piece mozz. sticks. It was pretty great for $2.50 per each of us.

Daym reviewed it today.

No disagreement here, BUT my local spot doesn't put in marinara sauce in my bag unless I request it. So if I forget to ask, I have to eat them without marinara which is a real bummer

 

[Himynameischris]

Arbys isn't any worse than any other fast food place, I like their chicken salad sandwich and curly fries.

 

[marrec]

Arby's Reuben almost made me become a Vegan.

 

[R2D4]

Smokehouse Brisket was fucking amazing. And I smoke my own brisket at home.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Oh yeah! I was almost thinking it was 3 for $5, but no it was $5 for $5 wasn't it? Used to get CBS' with that (Chicken, Bacon and Swiss). That was in the late 90s if I remember right.

You're god damn right it was 5 for 5

That VALUE

Honestly I dare u to go somewhere else and try to get that much delicious food for 5 pathetic bucks. Not even the grocery store has that kind of scorching hot deal.

 

[Eiolon]

I'm pretty sure the only thing that can turn a Vegan is Franklin's BBQ, not some fast food rendition of meat.

 

[marrec]

The Arby's by my house just closed down.

You lucky son of a bitch.

Arby's the Radio Shack of fast food.

I can't wait till they rebrand as "The Arb" and just start offering liquid cheese as their only product.

I'm pretty sure the only thing that can turn a Vegan is Franklin's BBQ, not some fast food rendition of meat.

Jesus christo that's not even fair.

 

[Goro Majima]

I've never really had a bad meal at Arby's but I just never think to eat there.

I think the issue is that most locations feel dirty and straight out of the mid 90s.

The King's Hawaiian brisket sandwich is legit, as is there chicken sandwiches. I like the curly fries too.

 

[DarkFlow]

Arby's does weird shit. They just sent me this, I thought it was a joke.

It's 13 hours of meat cooking.

 

[Goro Majima]

Black's BBQ in Lockhart is just as good. Also half the price and a tenth of the hype.

Ayup

 

[Wizman23]

I don't know why Arby's has a bad rap. Their chicken cordon bleu sandwich is like top ten fast food items.

Their fries and shakes are good, they had gyros not too long ago that were pretty good as well. I wonder how many people who bash it have eaten there since the 90's or even at all.

100% agree on the chicken cordon bleu...without mayo of course. Mayo is the most vile thing man ever created.

How the heck did you get on a mailing list for that?

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Of all the places...Arby's?

It's nasty food. The only place to ever fuck up something as simply as curly fries. Don't even get me started on their roast beef and liquid cheese. Urgh.

 

[Jpop]

We have the meats.

 

[batbeg]

Chicken Bacon Swiss.

Yes. This sandwich? It's so good.
