However, when you bite into one of Arby's signature sandwiches, you may notice it doesn't taste like the roast beef you buy in the grocery store. That's because the meat between those buns is not traditionally-made roast beef. The real stuff, according to Delish , is prepared by seasoning a large cut of beef, roasting it until tender, and then cutting it into thin, tender slices.
Arby's does things a little differently. If you purchase the meal combo, then you will need to add additional calories to the above. Extra calories depend on the drink and whether you choose curly or crinkle fries, but here are the averages:.

According to The Wall Street Journal , the entire campaign was designed to let people know that there's much more to Arby's than just roast beef, and they're not shy about saying that. The campaign's "head of sandwiches" character moans about people who "still think Arby's is just roast beef," and that "The last time you went to Arby's you were with your grandparents who ate exclusively roast beef, every meal, somehow.
That's some serious shade to throw to a staple product line, but marketing chief Jim Taylor says they're not turning their back on their roast beef entirely. Roast beef is staying, but they're also looking to appeal to a younger crowd that typically gravitates toward sandwiches of all kinds, instead of just their grandparents' roast beef. Here's another story most people have heard: Arby's got their name from the initials of their signature product, roast beef.
Roast beef, R and B, say it quickly and you'll get to Arby's. Get it? It's a great story, but it's absolutely not true. Arby's has tweeted more than once about the source of their name, stressing that while Arby's does actually come from the initials "R" and "B," it's not a reference to roast beef. Strangely, even though Arby's is trying to clear up the misconception today, Today notes that during the s, Arby's actually included the source of their name in an advertising campaign.
The 80s were a different time They did it at a time when everyone else was doing burgers, and their original menu of fresh-sliced roast beef was considered something completely out of the box. Fun fact: those curly fries weren't added until the s.
Burger giants McDonald's and Burger King were still fairly new when the Raffel brothers decided to get into the fast food game. They had seen just how popular the fast food burger joint was, so why deviate?
They wanted to offer something that would set them apart from the competition, but they also wanted to be the high-class fast food place. Decades later, their more expensive menu was cited as one of the major factors in their flailing business. In , the joint corporation of Wendy's and Arby's was looking at pretty miserable sales, which industry analyst chalked up to a combination of a menu that's more expensive than other chains and inconsistent performance via QSR.
There's a lot to be concerned about in the world today, and when it comes to food, one of the major concerns is the use of antibiotics in meat production. The basic idea is that when antibiotics are used to promote growth instead of just fight illness in animals, humans consume the meat and develop a tolerance for them, meaning antibiotics will be less effective when they're needed.
The world has turned an especially critical eye toward restaurants, and in a group of public interest organizations including the Center for Food Safety and the Consumers Union put together a report card grading restaurants on their commitment to only sourcing meat not produced with the help of antibiotics.
Of the 25 chains surveyed, 14 got a passing grade. Arby's, on the other hand, got a dismal F. According to MarketWatch , Arby's said that was largely because they refused to participate in the survey. Food for thought. While Arby's might be iffy about the antibiotics in their roast beef, they are actively participating in efforts to increase the sustainability of beef production in the US. In addition to sourcing cage-free eggs, they're also a founding member of the US Roundtable for Sustainable Beef.
The USRSB is a coalition of everyone from start to finish in the beef industry, including producers, processors, beef farm suppliers, academia, and retailers like Arby's. The goal? Keeping your sandwiches full of roast beef while not negatively impacting the planet and the environment.
Talking about sustainability is great, but it's one of those buzzwords that's tough for many people to actually define. When it comes to what Arby's is trying to do, it's impact everything from managing the carbon emissions and footprint of beef farms to improving the genetics of the herds, herd health, and nutrition via BEEF.
