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.

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
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.
That sounds horrendous
Horrendously delicious.
Some things that sound awful are great.
A monsterous hotdog. I’m not sure
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.
Exactly. Why I tend not to buy anything I can make at home. If it’s not superior to my home made why am I paying for it. But again. I’m probably just wrong
I like Arby’s curly fries just fine, especially when fresh, but to be honest there’s something about the Kroger brand curly fries you can get in the freezer that slaps. I think it’s because the potato is a lot more prominent.
Can you slice it that thin though?
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’ve no idea the cut of meat.
Considering it’s a roast beef sandwich I’d hazard a guess at top round roast. Suppose you’d need it to have enough length to cut into it properly to get those nice thick slices of beef.
I’m assuming the beef taste would depend on the fat content and marbling but I’ve no idea. I don’t like greasy so wouldn’t be my choice.
Obviously you are trying to goad me into failing which is a fun game.
I’m not an American nor do I live in ol USA. I think and plan ahead. With a beef roast that size cooked slowly when I had time. Might do me a week or less depending on if I had it for dinner or just for lunches.
I wouldn’t dare waste my time no money buying sandwiches while I was at work. However it is your prerogative how you spend your money and time. Just like everyone else
I was just voicing my opinion similar to others on the Internet
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
