Never had one. Are they just a triangular hash brown?

They're like McDonald's hashbrowns if McDonald's hashbrowns were twenty times better.

did McDonalds scrap the all day breaskfast already ?

i guess i can understand making breakfast sanwiches at 2pm could be shitty logistically, but idk why they couldn't offer hash browns all day at the very least

but in any case you're right, the potato cake is far superior.

Correct. They're delightful...and perhaps the only reason to go to Arby's.

We have parties where everyone basically hovers around the kitchen waiting to grab the latkes straight off the stove. You can keep the sour cream and applesauce, I'll take bbq sauce and American cheese on them.

I think the all day breakfast was a Covid casualty. It sucks because a Sausage McMuffin is FAR SUPERIOR to a cheeseburger along with a Sausage McMuffin w/egg being FAR SUPERIOR to a QPC or Big Mac, cheaper too.

How many dimes could I save purchasing a McMuffin on an app?

Well there's always the 20% off a $10+ order using the mobile app. There's a daily coupon for a $2 breakfast sandwich which can save you a lot of money if you go top of the line and get a McGriddle. There's also a coupon for free hash browns when you buy a McMuffin w/egg, but who wants hash browns. You also get double points at breakfast, what a deal. A non-egg McMuffin is BOGO for $1 so it's 2 for $3 and YOU DON'T EVEN NEED THE APP!

GEORGE: So how were the eggs?

DAPHNE: Eggs are eggs.

GEORGE: Eggs are eggs. That is very profound. By the same token you could say fish is fish. Ha ha ha, I don't think so.

Never understood why they were taken off the menu. Popular item, easily stored in freezer.

my guess is they wanted to see how the crinkle fries would do before double loading the inventory. now that they know the fries sell, they can bring them back.

An aside about Arbys is that I saw a commercial making it seem like they had burgers. I never saw that coming actually.

Well, they thought a crappy attempt at gyros was a good idea.

Why would people who live in one of the greatest food cities in the world ever eat at Arby's? Just asking a question.

Having a few frozen menu items is fine.

But what we need are some signature foods that drive branding.

You typically pay 20% more for frozen product, and if we're talking about a protein, we're sacrificing quality. Water expands when it freezes, and the ice crystals formed cause cell walls of food to rupture. As a result, the texture of the product will be much softer when it thaws.

I've brought in Chef Duffy to take a look at this food program and get us on the right track without having to resort to 5 for 5 roast beef promotions that can only be accessed though the app.

If I were wandering for days in the Sahara desert and saw an Arby's in the distance I would keep going, feasting on lizards and snakes that contain real meat.

Don't you live minutes away from Devon Avenue and some of the greatest cheap eating in the country?
