Arby's

[A Nerd]

I haven't eaten at an arby's in years. There are none around here. I prefer ethnic food anyway.

Arby's food is poison. :P

Home of the Trigger Burger.

Ugh. I haven't been able to eat at Arby's since last summer, when my mom and I were on our way from Colorado (where my sister had just graduated) back home to Minnesota. I'll spare you fellas with the gory details, but suffice it to say that the large roast beef & cheddar I had....wasn't very good.

[Fragony]

Of course you shouldn't eat there

Spoiled/undercooked meat? Bad cheese? Combination of the two?

lol, if you saw the procedures for making the food, I think that you would sue. :P Top that off with the fact that I am working with a bunch of pigs who literally pick roast beef off the floor when the drop it, brush it off, and put it on a sandwich. They also switch the expiration labels on the food so that they do not have to throw it away. Some times we are putting lettuce that is three days past its expiration date on sandwiches. The edges of it are brown and shriveled, but they don't seem to care. :P I never thought that I could be so disgusted by people...

Funny - last time I was in the US I frequently saw a commercial for Arby's on TV which already gave me the impression that this would be even worse than other fastfood chains (somehow it looked like they focus on greasy and somewhat revolting looking food).
Apparently that impression wasn't too far off...

That's typical fast food restaurant practice. Hygiene is low on the agenda.

Go find a Jimmy John's. You can SEE all the food they use, it's fresh. I also knew someone who used to work there, they keep them clean and I've walked in late several many many times over the years and watched them clean everything. Jimmy has probably bought a few new yachts off of all the money I've spent at his places over the years.

lol, never seen one around here. Anyway the only fast food place worth eating at next to my campus is Hardees.

I'm honestly not sure. For all I know, my tastes have simply changed -- prior to the one I had last summer, I think it had been a good 9-10 years since I'd previously had a roast beef & cheddar.

All I know for certain is that the sandwich literally tasted like vomit. Gah.

Ah yes, the good old "five second rule".

They also switch the expiration labels on the food so that they do not have to throw it away. Some times we are putting lettuce that is three days past its expiration date on sandwiches. The edges of it are brown and shriveled, but they don't seem to care.

Now *that* is definitely nasty. Using food that far past the expiration date (especially any kind of meat or fresh produce) is just so wrong on so many levels.

lol, never seen one around here.

Pity. You'd probably like Jimmy Johns. Aside from their always using fresh ingredients, their sandwiches are actually pretty tasty (and they don't take long to make).

I will admit that of all fast food joints in the world, Hardees remains far & away my favorite. It's a definite guilty pleasure for me.

Love Jimmy Johns. And for anyone in the American southwest, I'd also highly recommend In-N-Out Burger.

edit: my worst fast food experience, on the other hand, was getting food poisoning from a Mickey Dees in Wendover, Nevada. Cleaned me out from both ends. I've avoided McDonald's like the plague ever since.

if we all just kept kosher we could have avoided this thread altogether.

What is ethnic food?

[Vuk]

What is ethnic food?

A term that I find very annoying that Americans use to mean traditional food of other cultures.
