I did not feel like cooking tonight so I thought I'd go to Arby's and
get a brisket sandwich. It is not great, but not bad in a pinch a
couple of times a year. The drive up was a bit of a line so I went it
to get an order.

I'd like a brisket sandwich, I said. "Sorry, we are out of brisket". I
thought of leaving but there was a corned beef Reuben on the menu so I
ordered that and crinkle fries.

After a reasonable few minutes, the young lady had my order in a bag so
I took it and left. Leaving the parking lot, I reached it to try one of
the fries. Cooked well, but not as hot as it should be.

Get home, grabbed something to drink and opened the bag. Took out the
fries and sandwich. Well, it was a sandwich, just not the one I
ordered. Turkey, bacon, cheese. I was not about to go back so I did
eat it, it does reach new heights of mediocrity.

Should I ever go again, I'll just hand them $11 and say "give me a
sandwich" and see what I get. Could be fun!

It is not about money, it is convenience on a lazy day.
I can make a decent meal at home for $2 to $5 but I've also spent
considerably more for a treat.

You may as well do that at Arby's. The one and only time I got an Arby's
sandwich I asked for roast beef. I took it back to the office to have
for lunch and I made the mistake of looking at the meat. I had to ask
myself what the hell it really was. I had never before seen beef or any
other meat with that weird, bubbly sort of texture. It was beef coloured
and tasted like beef, but it looked more like something that had been
grown in a lab.

sort of texture.
"Arby’s roast beef is primarily made from beef that is typically cooked
and sliced for sandwiches. The meat used in Arby's roast beef is usually
a combination of different cuts, often including top round and other
cuts of beef. The process involves slow-roasting the beef at low
temperatures to enhance flavor and tenderness.

The roast beef is often seasoned and may contain additives for flavor
and preservation. While the exact recipe and preparation methods are
proprietary, the meat is generally known to be low in fat and is often
served with various sauces and toppings to enhance the flavor in their
sandwiches."

"Yes, Arby’s roast beef is actually beef. According to Arby’s the
ingredients are: beef, water, salt, sodium phosphates. But your beef
sandwich is not sliced from a chunk of roast beef like top round, bottom
round, or sirloin; it is not whole-muscle meat. Therefore, it is a
processed meat. It is 95% beef muscle tissue and 5% other ingredients.
You can think of it like this: it is sliced roasted beef, but it is not
sliced beef roast.

Arby’s roast beef is created by the emulsification method, combining
finely processed beef with water, salt, and sodium phosphates. The added
ingredients are found on the ingredient label. According to an employee
who actually pulled the lever to fill the bags in a production plant
(Monfort is or was one such plant), the beef is cut, processed and
cooked, creating a slurry that is pumped into heavy plastic bags 6
inches in diameter and 22 inches long. The filled bags are described as
looking like huge pink hot dogs. The tubes are then frozen at -40 F, and
shipped to restaurants frozen. In the restaurant, the tubes of processed
beef are cooked for an additional four hours, then sliced and served. He
further states that you can accomplish the same at home with a knife,
pressure cooker, and a KitchenAid grinder."

Of course there are, you just want to order it as a French Dip sammich,
which most every place seems ot have.

That said, there is one nearly dead fast food franchise still serving
real carved roast best:

I never buy the roast beef for the reasons you describe. The brisket
though, can be decent. The sandwich I had was acceptable but not what
I'd expect from a good deli. I could have taken it back for the right
one but chose not to as I had better things to do at the time.

I was delighted to find an Arby's in California back in the late 70's.
Indeed, it was not really roast beef but something else. I took the
sandwich apart and checked it out. It was chunks of beef embedded in a
matrix of meat paste. It was quite an impressive achievement in food
technology. There was an Arby's in the mall down the street but it
closed down. Boy, that was a depressing place. I thought the food was
alright but you could tell that the staff hated working there. That sort
of spoils all the fun.

There's not much point in discussing foods that you've never tasted or
had zero experience with. Ain't there anything that you have some
experience with that you can yammer on about? Don't be a pretender!

I tried one of these sandwiches, this week actually, I went to lunch at
Arby’s as I was trying to type this post…I’m not kidding. I was sitting
there, before lunch, bad decision on my part trying to put this
together. I then watched the video and my mouth started watering. Now, I
couldn’t very well write a post telling you about how delicious this
sandwich was going to be without actually trying it right? So, I headed
off to Arby’s. I did leave off the onion and mayo from the sandwich
though. I couldn’t believe how good it was! It was tender and went great
with the BBQ sauce and Gouda which just melted in my mouth.

You have excellent taste! The decision to drop the mayo proves you have
excellent taste! Very few places do mayo right, but tend to drench that
food item in it. I always ask for burgers without it for instance. It can
be ok with eggs.

You're changing the topic. Enjoy.
Staying on topic would be pointless - as I have already explained.
I hope there will be many delightful Arby's feasts in your future.

I tried one of these sandwiches, this week actually, I went to lunch
at Arby’s as I was trying to type this post…I’m not kidding. I was
sitting there, before lunch, bad decision on my part trying to put
this together. I then watched the video and my mouth started watering.
Now, I couldn’t very well write a post telling you about how delicious
this sandwich was going to be without actually trying it right? So, I
headed off to Arby’s. I did leave off the onion and mayo from the
sandwich though. I couldn’t believe how good it was! It was tender and
went great with the BBQ sauce and Gouda which just melted in my mouth.

TY!

That was a quite...but I save mayo for where it shines - tuna salad,
crab cakes, that sort of thing.

The American obsession with putting mayo on every burger is an odd and
fairly recent phenomenon, wholly out of taste profile for red meat, imho...

Yes! This is the truth! I would like to add that mayo can work well with
shrimp as well. I'll leave this recipe for a swedish shrimp sandwich which
I very much like and were mayo shines:

Ingredients:

1 kg of fresh or thawed shrimp or hand-peeled shrimp (1 kg of
shrimp corresponds to 600 g of peeled shrimp)
4 slices of white or dark bread
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 crisp salad or green salad
4 hard-boiled eggs
2 dl mayonnaise (preferably homemade, see below)
1 pot of dill
1 lemon

Operating procedure:

1. Peel the shrimp or let the shrimp in the lake drain well.
2. Spread the bread slices with butter or margarine.
3. Place lettuce leaves on the bread.
4. Peel, slice and place an egg on each slice of bread, spread the slices out.
4. Mayonnaise: Whisk together egg yolk and mustard in a bowl. Add the oil
drop by drop while whisking. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
5. Spread the mayonnaise over the eggs and salad. Top with the prawns.
Garnish with dill and a lemon wedge.

Enjoy!

I've had the Arby's Ruben sandwich. I could eat one right now. No,
that's not true. I could not eat one now because there's no Arby's
nearby. The Arby's Ruben is not like a real Ruben but that's okay with
me. I don't want slices of corned beef promiscuously piled on rye bread
in a steaming orgy of overindulgence. A regular boring pile of meat is
just alright with me. Hopefully, the next time I get to an Arby's,
they'll still have that on the menu.

According to Wikipedia, Arby's stands for R-B, which does not stand for
"Roast Beef", instead it is an acronym for "Raffel Brothers", the
founders of the chain. I don't know if I can abide by that.

Their French Dip is also a nice break of pace from typical fast food,

Da Hawaiians have no pretensions about the foods they eat and love.
There's a difference between good taste and pretensions.
Demonstrably they lack pretension and are imbued with good taste, as a
Dutch Auztard that no doubt grates on you due to your quasi-civilized
expat home.

You're used to all kinds of Asian food and then you're delighted to
find an American fast food chain?
That reminds me of an Australian girl who had been abroad for the
first time, to Singapore, and said: "They eat all kinds of weird
things there, but at least they also had McDonalds."
Da Hawaiians are always interested in the world about them. Da Hawaiian
King was probably the first King to ever travel around the world. Being
curious about the bigger world and technology is a Hawaiian trait.

Mining the harbors seems a bit extreme. We already tax the hell out of
the tourists.
The Disney Resort doesn't charge the guests a room tax to stay there. I
don't know why that is but I was glad for that. For lunch yesterday I
had a hanger steak at a resort restaurant. It was okay, I guess.

For dinner at home tonight, I cooked up some mapo tofu. I love that
dish! It's so easy to make because I use pre-made, jarred, sauces. I
don't have to prepare anything. The ground pork is browned in a pan, add
some garlic, black bean sauce, garlic chili sauce, fry for a while. Add
some water/chicken stock and cut up tofu. I use soft tofu and break it
up in the pan. Add some oyster sauce, ketchup, and soy sauce, thicken
with cornstarch slurry. Turn off heat and drizzle on a little sesame oil
- green onions if you like.

I haven't been able to find my bottle of dark soy sauce so some of my
dishes are looking a little pale. That's a dilemma only a Chinese chef
could appreciate.

It looks pretty enough and the veg isn't appearing overdone either,
that's a start.

Apropos of nothing Dead Lobster has been doing a commendable job on
their broccoli the past year, despite the Thai Union bankruptcy fiasco.

The "Deadliest Catch" is that King Crab is still freaking gone!

They do sell a larger variety of snow crab known as a Bairdi crab, for
abut a $5 upcharge which is acceptable while we wait to see if the King
crabwill repopulate.

https://alaskapublic.org/2023/10/06/alaska-fishermen-will-be-allowed-to-harvest-lucrative-red-king-crab-in-the-bering-sea/

The decisions come after a first-ever closure for the snow crab fishery
last year and a second-straight year of closure for the red king crab
fishery in the Bering Sea after an annual survey in 2021 found all-time
lows in the crab populations. Scientists think that population decline
was a result of two years of low sea ice cover and abnormally warm ocean
temperatures due to climate change may have altered the ecosystem in a
way that snow crab couldn’t survive.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alaska-snow-crab-season-canceled-2024/

"We're still definitely in survival mode trying to find a way to stay in
business," he told CBS News.

When the season was canceled last year, there was a sense of confusion
among the Alaska crab fisher community. Now, a sense of panic is taking
hold in the state's fisheries, which produce 60% of the nation's seafood.

"It's just still extremely difficult to fathom how we could go from a
healthy population in the Bering Sea to two closures in a row," Prout said.

And while he is barely holding on, others — like Joshua Songstad — have
lost almost everything.

"All of a sudden, now I'm at home with no income and really not much to
do," Songstad said.

I overused my dark soy on a Vietnamese chicken skewer dish and yes, dark
soy will overwhelm fish sauce - didn't know that one!

I did not feel like cooking tonight so I thought I'd go to Arby's and
get a brisket sandwich.  It is not great, but not bad in a pinch a
couple of times a year.  The drive up was a bit of a line so I went it
to get an order.
I'd like a brisket sandwich, I said.  "Sorry, we are out of brisket".  I
thought of leaving but there was a corned beef Reuben on the menu so I
ordered that and crinkle fries.
After a reasonable few minutes, the young lady had my order in a bag so
I took it and left.  Leaving the parking lot, I reached it to try one of
the fries.  Cooked well, but not as hot as it should be.
Get home, grabbed something to drink and opened the bag.  Took out the
fries and sandwich.  Well, it was a sandwich, just not the one I
ordered.  Turkey, bacon, cheese.  I was not about to go back so I did
eat it, it does reach new heights of mediocrity.
Should I ever go again, I'll just hand them $11 and say "give me a
sandwich" and see what I get.  Could be fun!
You go to ARBY's and are surprised when it's shitty?

Not at all. I've had the brisket and it is acceptable, not great. The mix up
was the issue.
To compensate, I just got back from Mazzaro's and bought an A5 steak for
dinner. Nice treat once in a while.
I'm taking songbird's advice. Instead of buying an $11 meal at a fast food
place, I'm cooking a $77 steak at home.
77 USD for a steak?? How big is it? Or perhaps it's Bidenomics at work? =(

You go to ARBY's and are surprised when it's shitty?

Not at all.  I've had the brisket and it is acceptable, not great. The mix
up was the issue.
To compensate, I just got back from Mazzaro's and bought an A5 steak for
dinner.  Nice treat once in a while.
I'm taking songbird's advice.  Instead of buying an $11 meal at a fast
food place, I'm cooking a $77 steak at home.
Apologies... I've learned that in order not to offend people it should be
called Xidenomics.

I did not feel like cooking tonight so I thought I'd go to Arby's
and get a brisket sandwich.  It is not great, but not bad in a
pinch a couple of times a year.  The drive up was a bit of a line
so I went it to get an order.
I'd like a brisket sandwich, I said.  "Sorry, we are out of
brisket".  I thought of leaving but there was a corned beef Reuben
on the menu so I ordered that and crinkle fries.
After a reasonable few minutes, the young lady had my order in a
bag so I took it and left.  Leaving the parking lot, I reached it
to try one of the fries.  Cooked well, but not as hot as it should
be.
Get home, grabbed something to drink and opened the bag.  Took out
the fries and sandwich.  Well, it was a sandwich, just not the one
I ordered. Turkey, bacon, cheese.  I was not about to go back so I
did eat it, it does reach new heights of mediocrity.
Should I ever go again, I'll just hand them $11 and say "give me a
sandwich" and see what I get.  Could be fun!

Sure, I understood eating at home is better value. That steak would
have been $150 at a restaurant. Not to mention the wine cost.

I don't do drive-through eating out anything, but it does behoove one to
check what they gave you in the bag before you pull out of the parking
lot and drive home.

It was a wrapped sandwich in the bag. First time in 50+ years it was
ever wrong from any place.

They are sending me a couple of coupons though.

Yes, and your Royal Majesty is assuming he doesn't. Hell, in florida or
california, there are likely many poor or homeless grubbing for an
existence.

Lots of money people there, so the poor gravitate to areas where they
might get a generous handout.

Ed is more likely to help a panhandler than your Majesty. He is not
nearly as vindictive as your royal highness. The homeless know damn well
to stay away from Dataw Castle.

Every city has them someplace. I sometimes see one or two at the exit
ramp of I75, I can tell you of places you will find them in five
different states I visit regularly. Highway exits and shopping center
exits are popular.

I was at a Disney Resort on the Leeward coast of Oahu yesterday. Down
the road is the largest homeless encampment on the island. The irony of
that did not escape me.

I'd like a brisket sandwich, I said. "Sorry, we are out of brisket".

so I took it and left. Leaving the parking lot, I reached it to try
one of the fries. Cooked well, but not as hot as it should be.

When I don't feel like cooking, there's always an urge to hit Wendy's or
Carl's Jr. We always have a stack of coupons from the mailers. The drive
to, through the drive thru, drive home... Twenty minutes. So can I do
something at home less-than-or-equal-to twenty minutes?

For most occasions like that, there's always something in the freezer
that suits my fancy. I figure, I may not feel like cooking, but I don't
feel like driving to the drive-thru either. It's actually more of an
ordeal than it is to warm something up.

Costco has a four-pack of frozen pepperoni pizzas for $14. Sixteen
minutes in the oven and it's ready. I'll usually add some olives or
artichoke hearts if craving it, top it with some parm. Twenty minutes total

Local grocery has frozen chimichangas, beef and bean.. Yup. Nuke four of
them, then fry them in oil for a crisp. Ten minutes total.

Sardines in a can. Chop them up with the oil. Crack some pepper and
sprinkle some sodium. On crackers with cream cheese. Five minutes, ten
tops.

Load your vitamix with a can of chicken stock, half pound of brocolli,
quarter cup cheddar, pepper, salt. Hot soup program plus prep is ten-ish
minutes.

Can of tuna, drain, add mayo, relish, cheddar, mustard & mix. Make into
sandwich. Or add to a romaine leaf and wrap it. Ten minutes.

In the spirit of your post, I ordered the family pack at panda
express. Two sides and three entrees for $35. It's the best price for
that amount of food anywhere around. I ordered it off their website and
it said thirty minutes. I set my timer for twenty and read a few
chapters. When the buzzer warned me, I was there and back in twenty
minutes. We ate like pigs and still have enough leftovers for tomorrow.

This was one of those days where I felt the ordeal of driving to and
from exceeded my desire to throw something together.
