Arby’s often finds itself the target of jokes on social media. Many people question its appeal, while others dismiss it entirely. Yet, surprisingly, two chefs, Kristen Kish and Justin Sutherland, consider Arby’s to be a hidden gem.
In an interview with Mashed, Kish expressed her love for Arby’s, stating it has the best chicken fingers and curly fries. This opinion might stir some debate among food enthusiasts, but it shows that everyone has unique tastes.
Sutherland shares a similar sentiment. He appreciates the roast beef and cheddar sandwich, especially after a night out. It seems comforting foods can be just as effective as coffee for shaking off a hangover!
While Arby’s has its flaws, it also boasts a variety of tasty offerings. Unlike flashier fast-food chains, it emphasizes meat-heavy meals, making it stand out in the crowd. With items like the half-pound roast beef sandwich, there’s plenty to satisfy hunger.
Why Arby’s Deserves a Second Chance
Thanks to chefs like Kish and Sutherland, Arby’s is gaining respect. The chain offers a range of proteins—chicken, turkey, roast beef, and corned beef—that few competitors can match. This variety helps cater to different tastes and dietary preferences, adding to its appeal.
Moreover, Arby’s menu resembles that of a deli, featuring not just sandwiches but also gyros and mozzarella sticks. Seasonal items add an extra touch, making meals more exciting with each visit. As creativity in fast food grows, Arby’s seems poised to keep surprising customers.
