So you cut the burger in half and save it for later? (I actually did that a lot back in the old days… although that would be Checkers

What is Chick -fil-A doing currently that you don’t like?
Y’all must be new to this thread…

My first Arby’s was confusing, too. Love the horsey sauce; but when I tasted the “roast beef” it was a WTF moment. How was that roast beef? One later learns it is a beef slurry, later solidified. I still look at it like a dog looks at tofu. WTF?! LOVE their Jamocha shake, tho.
Killing it in the marketplace in average per-store sales[see note first] vs. their similar-sized and much larger competitors, despite being open ~25 percent fewer hours (vs. McD’s) per week?
If I had a grudge against CFA, that’d sure stick in my craw.
[Note] Apologies - link is to a tiresome click-by-click listing, but the info is generally well presented - per store sales, number of stores, overall revenues, etc.
My first time to Arbys . I believed there would be someone behind the counter slicing roast beef . Whaasttt. ??? I have never been back .Simply awful.
You’d love Baltimore Pit Beef…
Snopes says this one is an urban legend. Still, I agree the stuff doesn’t taste like any roast beef I’ve made or eaten anywhere else. I don’t find it to taste bad (but I don’t think I’ve eaten there in 10+ years, maybe it’s changed), just not what I expect from roast beef.

I have a cyber friend who loves Arby’s. I don’t mind it. You can see the grain. To me it’s like it has been velveted. I had a Beef and Cheddar a few months ago. I rather roast beef be processed Arby’s tender roast beef, than dry Roast Beef that gets stuck in my throat. It hit the spot.
I also prefer processed deli turkey to natural but dry turkey that gets stuck in my throat. A lot of diners that roast their own turkey serve dry turkey in their sandwiches!

Oh my! We part company there.
I can’t stand processed turkey.
Always has a certain slimy aura that I can’t handle.
Maybe your Canadian turkey is better.

In addition to chicken and dumplings (which I’ve never tried) and steak finger baskets (not bad but more like ground round) Texas DQ’s open up early for the breakfast crowd. Real eggs, real sausage and fluffy biscuits. I suppose you could even have a banana split or chocolate dip cone to go with your morning coffee.
Yes, Texas is included in the 85 cent blizzard deal.

It’s called a Beltbuster for a reason. Even though I order it without veggies I can still only eat half.
Yeah. Back in my post doc days, I would buy these large burgers when they are on sale. I still remember sometime only eating half and save the other half for next meal

When I was in grad school in a small Midwestern town, Domino’s often had a deal for 2 pizzas and 4 32-oz sodas. My roommate and I could live a week on that.
ETA: Don’t think I’ve ordered Domino’s since.

Hey, at least it wasn’t ramen!
In undergrad, 2 loaves of bread from the Sunbeam “smashed/seconds” store, and 2 dozen eggs from a generic style grocery grossed $3. Twenty one single-egg sandwiches plus some mayo packets filched from the school cafeteria (or a FF chain) fed me all week for $3.
Plus I had a few eggs leftover to splurge at the end of the week!

So last night I tried a Caniac combo with extra coleslaw instead of the fries just so I could try your Texas Toast sandwich… and then realized it was only one piece of Texas toast instead of 2. So I had a half sando of coleslaw on Texas toast, and it was pretty good!!
Not that you’d ever steer me wrong, but I had to see for myself!
