Free Arby's BBQ Bacon Cheddar Roastburger Coupon

As a veggie, it doesn't matter much to me, but thanks to the internet I look at that sandwich and see cheese, onion rings, barbecue sauce, lettuce, tomato, bacon and a bun all surrounding Lindsey Lohan's vagoo.

No thankee, sai.

no, it looks like a 10 lb block of loose salami. then you bake it for a few hours and slice it really thin, and viola! Roast Beef!
Are we talking about the sandwich or the vagoo?
 
Well, I took the plunge. I even printed two and pulled off the perfect crime using one inside and one in the drivethru, since I was meeting my wife for lunch. In the name of science I got the onion ringed bastard. Fairly disappointing. Way too much crappy BBQ sauce. Never did notice the onion rings, so the jury is still out on that (though I'm still leaning toward "fuck that noise"). They either over-cooked the roast beef to make it more "burgery" or that's just how Arby's beef is now. The bun was pretty good, I'll admit, and I wouldn't object to getting a decent burger on it at a real restaurant.

Also, getting the two drinks for the deal plus a large fries to split (which sucked, BTW) cost about $4.50. For that, I could have gotten a two-pack of burritos at Trader Joe's, a couple bananas, and a bag of chips. Which is a far superior quick lunch for two (though you have to *gasp* heat up the burritos yourself).

So although I'm usually "that guy" who abuses this kind of coupon, I won't be taking them up on it again. And probably won't go near an Arby's unless dying of hunger.

I'd give whoever brought me that burger the same look I give barmaids who put lemon in my hefeweizen. There's no smiley that does it justice.

Jake, I agree with you on THAT topic wholeheartedly.

Any dumb bitch that puts any lemon in my beer gets no tip! There are certain beers that i get that I get pissed off over if they're served in a frosty mug too.

I'm gonna try this burger tonight..

too much BBQ sauce?? dang. I hate too much sauce, I'll be sure to tell them to give me light sauce (i.e less sauce) if possible. or no sauce and I'll put them on myself ;)

Chaz: Glad I don't drink beer. I always wonder why over a frosty mug and what is with the lemon?

Lemon makes piss poor beer taste palatable

Frosty mugs because most light pilsners taste good that way (Budweiser), so almost universally all restaurants assume ALL beer is good ice cold.

Yeah, and they had waiters, waitresses, and bartenders.

I don't even like that kind of sandwich and I'm practically foaming at the mouth.

Stupid delicious horrible fast food. I know it's horrible. It's also so delicious. Stupid diet.

to a non-beer drinker. What do you recommend? I have tried some beer (bud and stuff) and didn't like it. I do love hard liquor but don't get to drink often since I'm the DD.

but after looking at the list.... I have a craving for Nachos......... not sure why.

Bud hardly qualifies as beer. As for breaking into the beer world, my anecdotal evidence suggests that hops are the main barrier to entry, so avoid hoppy styles (pale ale, IPA, some German lagers, etc.) at first. On the lighter side, hefeweizen (cloudy wheat beer) and witbier (Belgian white ale, like Hoegaarden) are kind to beginners. Dark beer might seem a little daunting, but beers like Guinness are actually lighter than most pale ales. Stouts can be a little roasty and bitter at first, though. A nice strong scotch ale like McEwans might be a good bet.

Negra Modelo is the way to go.

Nice list. Most of those pairings are making my mouth water.

Though I think some of the dessert pairings are too close in taste instead of complementary.

Yo, seconding this. Really, avoid American lagers in general. My preferred relaxing beers are usually amber ales, but you really should explore a lot of different types to find what you like, slowly breaking into hoppier beers.

Beer is so fucking delicious

Barmaid and Tavern are word that originate around the similar times in history. A woman serving in a pub or tavern is a barmaid. There's nothing wrong with the use of that word.

There are some worthwhile American lagers. Victory Pilsner and Brooklyn Lager are great. Most microbrewed lagers I've tried are decent. Even the "Simpler Times" lager at Trader Joe's for $4 a sixpack is okay. Yeungling is about as light as I'll go, though, and only if "necessary".

However, a real Pilsner will have a hop bite that might be off-putting to some.

Ugh, Yeungling...

I unfortunately live in the heartland of the Yeungling brewing company. It always just tastes skunky to me.

I know people (n00bs!) that rave about it, which I just can't understand. It doesn't suck, but there's just not enough there to get excited about.

I guess you must also live in the heart of Victory country, which makes up for it. I don't think I've tried anything from them that wasn't damned tasty. I'd kill everyone in this thread for a Golden Monkey right now. :drool:
