You started another fast food thread, and one about a fast food place that already has a thread about it.

downsized all their sandwiches. added too much sugar to the bread. added too much salt.

arbys actually has no real tastes other than sweet and salty, anymore. its horrible.

Nothing. Literally just Jew memeing.

I hate those new commercials with the supposed tough guy touting meat sandwiches. As if it would get anyone pumped up to run out and buy their trashy food.

My guess is that tacos and burritos became more popular than sandwiches, and you can count me in on that.

This article covers some of the major points about America's changing palate and desire for spicier foods:

It brings the whole chipotle-flavored craze into perspective. Remember about a decade ago when it seemed like every major fast food chain was releasing chipotle-flavored dressings, dips, etc.? Maybe this research coincided with declining sales and this was the conclusion they came to.

I only get the curly fries and those have seemed to stay the same.

They started venturing outside their territory. They claim to smoke their turkey or Angus whatever for 18hours but I've never seen a smoke pit at an arbys. Maybe they cold smoke it at a factory then add ton of fillers.

Fun tip: The Oven Mitt was voiced by Tom Arnold. As part of his payment, Arby's gave him a card that entitled him to free Arby's food for life.

Their franchise quality control is shit

In Richmond, VA their food is still really good. Theres a number of chains that are basically allowed to experiment at will (serve beer, invent sandwiches, etc), and they're all great.

I travel a few hours up the coast and get one of the standard items and its thoroughly mediocre. I legitimately thought people were trolling about Arby's before I moved away from Richmond.

fucking everything

Smoking a turkey for 18 hours seems completely unnecessary. It's almost certainly a load of horseshit they say to make it sound like they put a lot of work into it. 18 HOURS IN A SMOKER, MY GOD THAT'S A LOT OF HOURS, IT MUST BE SUPER FANTASTIC.

You only need 2 to 3 hours to get the smoky flavor in. After that point you would want to STOP adding smoke or it gets too overwhelming, you just want to heat it to the target temp. I smoke most of my birds in the 285 to 325 range which can take 3 to 6 hours depending on the bird, never done a turkey though I imagine it'd take more in the 8 to 12 hour range. But 18 hours? NO actual person spends 18 hours smoking a turkey.
