  • As with any fast food chain, there are all kinds of rumors about Arby’s that have circulated over the years, and the internet has only made them spread faster. Arby’s stands out by making roast beef their staple instead of hamburgers, but you have probably heard some pretty unsettling things about their roast beef over the years, including that it is actually liquid in origin. If this has made you question whether you should eat at Arby’s again, don’t worry, because we’re here to separate the fact from the fiction about this fast food mainstay. Let’s take a look at the truth about Arby’s roast beef.

    @songofyesterday Před 5 lety +485

    Worked at Arby's for 2 years, it's the only fast food restaurant I respect. There's actually enough space to move and work without bumping into other employees. Management was respectful, and I got raises on a regular basis, albeit, small ones. It was a good place to work for while in high school.

      I agree, I grew up with Arby's being basically just roast beef sandwiches and we all loved it, we ate there regularly. What's all this lately about restaurants catering to a younger crowd anyway? Just like the TV programming rural purge back in the 60's, that turned out great didn't it? Maybe the younger generations just need to learn to be content with the way things are instead of demanding a change to everything.

    Their "Roast Beef" is boneless, defatted real beef, heavily salted and seasoned, that is compressed into a sausage-like casing, then cooked at low temp to retain juices. It is sliced so thin so that it is impossible to bite into a long strand of muscle fiber.
    It is a far cry from the original Arby's sandwich, which was made from a roast of beef that was not cooked in a bag and was naturally browned in the oven. It had a great flavor, great texture and was not oversalted. They would have a roast displayed in a rotisserie on the counter. You saw what you were getting! It was great!

  • @hellraizer322
    @hellraizer322 Před 3 lety +7

    I worked for Arby's and we were told that the roast beef being slow cooked in the cooker was supposed to be at a certain temperature for period of time, yet the manager (who controlled it) never did have the temperature at the correct setting according to the chart. This and many other issues were the reason I quit 2 weeks into it. I wonder if issues such as this are a common occurrence.

    I opened a new store in Ft Lauderdale Florida back when Arby’s had only been in business for three years. Back then the meat was REAL hunks of beef, not the formed globs they use these days that are made under pressure. We actually cooked the beef in big ovens, each piece of meat wrapped in foil with an oven thermometer in each piece. What a wonderful aroma in the store
    I’d rather eat fried SPAM than whatever that nastiness is they’re slicing up now

    Some years back they introduced their version of cordon-bleu and it was and is good, but I rarely eat anything but their roast beef, because it's not only good, but a simple sandwich and there's not much to wonder about what you're getting. It's seasoned meat and bread. You can add cheeses and things like Arby's sauce, but you don't have to to still have a good filling sandwich. I also occasionally like the French dip, which I know ups the sodium for sure. I really wish they has fries better than the curly ones. I just don't like them and op for potato cakes, even though they are quite greasy.

The Roast Beef came in a box with 2 Frozen, plastic wrapped loaves. We defrosted them in the plastic bag and they were like jelly when placed on a roasting pan for the oven. I was there just as RTM introduced Oscar Mayer Ham and Swiss, (and Turkey) if memory serves me well. At one time, Hardees Roast Beef also used the same RTM beef product, straight away from Texas. I would make a variety sandwich with the new options. The Cheese for a Beef n Cheddar is hand pumped from a large, food service, cheddar cheese flavored container. 1.75 ounces was the norm for a Regular Roast Beef, but I would put more on when preparing dine in orders for DeKalb Central female students! Take a slice of Roast Beef from Arbys, and take a slice from a local deli and tell me there is no difference? LOL. Flavor is king, meat paste it is, add garlic, onion and other proprietary flavors. I miss the potato cakes.

    @redsqwirl Před 5 lety +1

    I remember going to Arby's in the early 70's and seeing a giant slab of roast beef hanging from a chain in a glass illuminated display case behind the counter. They would slice the beef from there and it was real roast beef and taste good. I think they sold for around .79 back then. Later on the quality declined and so did their sales which hurt the chain and with so many ownership changes so many stored closed down until they reemerged again and again. Now I think they got it right.

    • @bobbybill9456

      I worked at Arby’s when I was younger and their roast beef is cooked daily. But it comes in a bag and after opening the consistency is a thick purée beef with solid chunks mixed in there and mixed with salt and spices. After it cooks it is a solid mass that can be sliced. It still tastes delicious to me though and I eat there quite a bit. That is why it is so tender and consistent type of texture kind of like bologna of beef. The so called fact checkers from snoops debunk certain claims but it is not completely true. IT IS 100% beef not fake or artificial but the slabs that are cooked are not 100% solid when raw. I know. I held it in my hands before it was cooked. It seriously felt like it could have slipped through my fingers if held long enough. If it had a solid meat core with a very think puree beef outer covering I can not say for 100% certainty. It seemed like a consistent texture all the way through though. But if it did have a solid core you would be able to tell the texture difference when eating it with the outer edges compared to the middle. It was in 1994-1995 and the consistency is the same now when I eat there compared to when I worked there so I highly doubt they changed how they do it. Bologna is 100% meat too but it isn't solid before hand only after cooked. It is super tender. But like I said I specifically remember there being chunks of solid meat pieces being mixed into the meat puree.The official letter from Jim Lowder to Snoops does not anywhere say it is a completely solid cut of beef. You can tell the truth from a certain point of view omitting certain facts or framing your words a certain way so it is perceived the by the reader in a certain light. Hamburgers are 100% beef but they are ground beforehand and solidify together once cooked. So pureed beef would be the same.

  • @zandergar9729
    @zandergar9729 Před 5 lety +7

    I loved arby's i've worked for them over 3 times in my life. the so called roast beef, is well, beef, and roasted, but not like a traditional roast, think of it like when you go to the store and buy luncheon meat slices. you know how you get chopped ham slices? how it looks like a bunch of ham shapes all pressed together to make a loaf and then they roast it and slice it? well it's the exact same thing we use at arby's. it comes looking like a big specifically shaped loaf that resembles meat loaf but in bigger chunks, it comes already prepped and ready to roast in the oven. some locations I have noticed cooks them in the oven differently though. some take them out of the vacuum sealed package and wraps the entire top with aluminium foil and stabs a meat thermometer into each one than bakes it. others do the same thing, but leave them in the bag as well, as to keep them juicier and marinate themselves in its own juices. either way. I guarantee you it doesn't look anything like hotdog batter like in the end of this video lol also I miss how we used to carry what I felt was some of our biggest sellers. in the early 2000's we used to sell polar bear or arctic swirls. which was the vanilla milkshake blended with your choice of 1 of 4 different candies to choose from, i think they were: butterfinger, heath, oreo, & mini m&m, then they were topped with whipped cream, and sprinkled with additional candy that you chose. and we also used to sell baked potatoes. they were prebaked first, then we would nuke them to order, split them, and load them with the cheese sauce, and add chopped green bell peppers and onions and melted butter. it was really good. but out of the blue, they terminated them from the menu. a few years later i worked at another state and location, around 2006, and they came out with those loaded potato bites. and oh man, i gained some weight from those. lol talk about good eating. I haven't eaten from arby's in years now, I'm more of a quiznos and schlotzkey's deli kind of guy as it refers to sandwhiches. quiznos has the best hand scooped milkshakes and best soups i have ever had so far. their 3 bean chili or chicken corn chowder is to die for. tastes homemade to me. doesn't taste all cheap like the crap at subway or others I have dined at.

      Arby's first appeared on the scene in the 1960s - and in those days it was (before slicing) real sides of beef (and delicious). Arby's quickly became my favorite fast food place. Alas, after a year or two they switched to beef loaf - which wasn't nearly as good. I quit going - and still avoid them to this day!

    I worked at Arby's during the late 90's. I can't speak for what has been sold since then, but at the time, the meat was 100% a processed loaf of gelatinous particle meat. It was NOT a solid piece of beef that was cooked. It was sort of like a beef version of "pink slime" "chicken", but it wasn't pre-cooked. You'd cut it out of a hermetically sealed package, slap it on a cooking sheet, reform it back into the loaf shape (since it was most likely deformed in the process), and cook it for a few hours. Out would come a solid, "roast beef"-like, piece of meat.
