I'm watching it right now. That's nasty. Makes me wonder how many others were subject to rotburgers at that Arby's today. Although he said the place was totally empty. Maybe that's why.

How bad is Arby's? I always hear the jokes. But I've only been there once to get a soda and I remember it was kind of hot and dirty inside.

I've actually had pretty good luck with Arby's, but I wonder if the ones in the middle of beef country are higher quality.

I cannot believe anyone actually goes to Arby’s and the one time we made that mistake we … lived to regret it at least.

The trash can in the drive thru of the neighboring McDonald’s was filled with Arby’s shit so maybe they survive entirely on people not believing it could be that bad.

My wife and my mother both liked their "Beef'n Cheddar" sandwiches, not only are they more expensive and smaller than they used to be they taste like nothing, like styrofoam or room temperature water and they both feel revulsion to the idea of eating them.
The last time I got one they didn't even use the cheese sauce it was just a slice of cheese instead, stale and solidified because it didn't even melt, I think it was from their shitty "wagyu" burger they tried to push out.

Arby's is where you go when you want to pay more than deli prices for worse quality.
 
Arby's went to shit once they started getting rid of these signs.

Whoa! How have I never heard of this mad lad before? I'm glad this was in Happenings, I must watch more of his videos.

I'm not sure which is more horrifying - null doing food reviews for serbian cheeses, the unibomber doing food reviews for hobo stewed squirrel or reviewbrah going full dale gribble with his shortwave broadcasting in his basement

He definitely has a Rusty Shackleford backup identity.

(All joking aside, while I rarely eat out and generally avoid fast food, the Arby's near me always looks busy.)
 
If sandwich slop shop sent me rotten food I'd file a chargeback.

I'll never understand shops that try to push expired product, you're not saving money, you're fucking up severely and should be terminated.

I honestly like the idea of Food Refuse. If the food looks like a drunk slapped it together at 2 AM? Food Refuse. Stupid gimmick results in an unholy plate? Food Refuse.

Shops that push expired product need to be shut down. I hope the Brah contacts his health department.

My last few sets of fries have been as bad as the brah reviews. I'm taking his advice, at that price point, failure is unacceptable.

Even prepared correctly, that sandwich should not be over $3.50. Fuck "inflation".

I do hope Jack Scalfani eats one.

you could have michelin star chefs in those kitchens, if the ingredients they get is shit and rotten to begin with you cant make anything from it.

fun fact: Trump likes fast food because the corporate world is so scared of being sued that they will do anything to make sure it is up to health-code-standers


never said it was good for your body though...

Why has fast food quality been going down recently? How hard is it to make a burger? I thought they had robots making them

Bidenflation with modern economics. Because those places are dependent on having high returns on every sale they must cut quality in every conceivable way to keep making investors happy.
This leads to worse ingredients, increase of filler ingredients, less staff that is itself underqualified for even working in fast food, "new" menu items based on cheaper meat and dairy (all those new chicken meals), and assuredly worse hygiene.

This leads those places to experience the classic blockbuster death spiral. Where the budget cuts leads to worse quality leading to loss of clientele leading to budget cuts, etc.
 
Does anyone know why fast-food fries are as the brah described? Hard, not chewy, dry, and unpleasant? I'm guessing they fucked with the oil again.

I rarely order fries now because they cost what the sandwiches should cost, but I get the occasional craving for curly fries, and they've been absolute dog shit under biden.

Arby's isn't what it was even a couple years ago. They had a Beer cheese beef sandwich with a pretzel bun a couple years back as an Octoberfest promotion and that thing was legit good. No qualification "for fast food", that motherfucker was objectively good, I'd go hunt up an Arby's if they ever brought it back.

Any number of things. Arby's curly fries in the aughts were the bomb, still good through most of the teens, but their QC/standards seems to have dropped; the number of "curls" and not just over-cooked "curves" has gone way up.

its also possible the person working the fryer doesn't know what they're doing and timer or sensor was fucked up. Basically sounds like they were left in too long at too low of a temp.

Not having tried them my guess would be not getting cooked at a consistent level - fries too cold/moist going into the fryer, temp sensor not heating the oil (or switching oil to one with different properties and not recalibrating)
