This doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad shop. Maybe being a franchise wasn't helping their business, so they dropped it.

It might be better than BK, that wouldn't be hard to do. BK is the worst of the major franchise burger shops, by far. I'll eat at Arby's before I eat at a BK.

Say what you will about Arby's...

... There's no "but". I won't stop you.

(Their spicy mayo - sorry, "horseradish sauce" - is pretty good though)

And now you can completely avoid Arby's and still get your Horsey Sauce fix: https://copykat.com/arbys-horsey-sauce/

I make a homemade version of the Arby's Beef and Cheddar. Even bought a deli slicer just to get that piled-up effect. The Horsey Sauce recipe above nails it. The Arby Sauce however... I've yet to find a proper copycat recipe. I think there might be citrus (lime?) in Arby Sauce but it's not listed in the ingredients.

what kind of deli slicer did you get?

[–] JayleneSlide@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Vevor 10 inch 240W. I've absolutely rail this thing, lent it out to my hunting Jedi buddy who also put the screws to it, lather, rinse, repeat for two years now. I used to have a meat-smoking and charcuterie business, so I have opinions about deli slicers. This unit (https://www.vevor.com/cutters-slicers-c_10662/vevor-commercial-meat-slicer-240w-electric-deli-food-slicer-10-inch-carbon-steel-blade-electric-food-slicer-350-400rpm-meat-slicer-0-0-47-inch-adjustable-thickness-for-commercial-and-home-use-p_010664867799) is categorically okay.

Cleaning it is okay, not tool-free; I taped the necessary Allen wrench to the bottom. Performance is absolutely acceptable. Maintaining it is pretty simple (sharpener is included). Motor is decent. Cheese slicing performance is decent. It tends to throw a lot of shreds, but I bet polishing the backside of the blade would fix that. Portability is the suck, but some long Velcro strips improve that. It's no $3000 Hobart, but also costs one order of magnitude less.

okay awesome thanks, i shopped some a while ago but didn't really find anything short of some crazy commercial stuff

[–] agentshags@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Also potato cakes. Mmm.

It depends on the country I guess. Here in France I'd do a BK over McDonald's any day. But it would loose to a Roadside (local burger chain) in most cases.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 5 points 1 day ago

In the middle of the US all of the fast food chains are hit and miss depending on location. There are like 11 McDonald's nearby and two of them are consistently good. There are at least three BKs and only one of them is consistently good.

When the BK is good I find it far better than McDonald's. It is probably the fry grease they use and the open fire for cooking the meat, but also the vegetables and buns and everything else are just better imho. Good enough to get me to stop by a few times a year.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Same in sweden. I don't eat if macd is the only option. BK is good but mAx burgers are better (when you only look at fast"food")

[–] Malfeasant@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Arby's

I just threw up in my mouth a little...

Hey, they were decent a couple... checks notes... decades ago...

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I dunno, BK doesn't wreck my guts like McDonald's

Don’t you besmirch the Sauce of the Gods.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would say that Jack in the Box is the worst of the big national chains, but it's been a long time since I ate at any of those places.

Really? They were awesome when I was a kid, but they didn't have a store near me until recently, so I haven't had them for... 15 years? They were my favorite back then, have they gotten worse?
