My Favorite Food From Arby's!
Hello everyone, this is Running On Empty...
Food Review!
Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching. This is Running on Empty, Food Review. I'm your host TheReportOfTheWeek... an
elusive very very rare Arby's review
It's headed your way today. Arby's is one of those places that they exist they are
Around
You know, but but I don't review them. I I seldom
review the Arby's and
The reason why is it's just I don't know. There's always been this
Disconnect is too harsh of a word but it's just the appeal I guess, of some of their items
Isn't it's never been there for me.
And I think there'd be too much of the bias kind of shining through. It wouldn't really be an impartial, fair review toward it.
For instance like they got the new Arbinator
Sandwich out and you know, here's the quick review for it. I've tried it. I'm not a fan of it
I don't like it. I think it's just too much
It's just you know to excess in my opinion now some of you I know would love it you would you would want it
Just stacked up more the more the merrier so to speak and you know
2,500 calories in a sandwich make it five thousand
You know ten thousand just keep stacking it stack it until it can't do it anymore. Till' they run out of ingredients
So I understand that there's different
Mentalities and it's all how you look at it and so on and so forth, so I decided instead
I'm gonna try out one of my favorite things on the
On the menu whenever I go to Arby's this is what I like to get and they got a new shake out, too
So it's kind of good. It's gonna be a two-for-one deal. So to speak now on the topic of deals
I want to get this out of the way real quick if you want to help support
My radio show, my work, you know, you're ever thinking about getting merchandise in regards to the channel
But you're kind of on the fence about it
This is probably the best time to do it on the topic of deals with Black Friday, Cyber Monday
All that going on. We got a
15% discount
Going on for my teespring store
And it's it's via a special link that has the code embedded into it and you know
So you get an item,
Then the code will be activated once it's in the shopping cart
So to speak but to get that code you can find the link to it in the cards
You could also find it in the description and in the pinned comments
so
You know if you're kind of on the fence about getting any merch
You got to be quick because this is this is the time to do it
it's valid until the end of the month, but just a really good way to help support things and
You know just something to check out even just peruse the store. Maybe you'll see something you like. So anyway first things first
What should I do? Should we try out the shake or should we try out the sandwich?
I think I'm going to try out the shake because I just have a feeling that mint
Chocolate and buffalo sauce isn't gonna go together very well and plus - this is the new item so to speak
Arby's is one of those places that I
Think their drinks are kind of underrated
You know, not really they always think about the roast beef sandwiches, but not too much about the drinks
So this is what it looks like. It's just a mint chocolate shake
You know, just just a mint chocolate comes with some
Whipped cream on the top there a little bit of a drizzle of it's not nuts. It's actually candy pieces and
Chocolate syrup right there. You can see what it looks like
I I don't want to take the top off so you can kind of see some spillage there and I don't want to get that
everywhere, but you can see it's pretty I do like a color and
Does look pretty yeah pretty similar to what you'd see on the site and on the ads and now the straw
Goes in and I'll just try it out really it says very basic mint chocolate
This is a new release. By the way. The other thing has kind of always been on the menu
This is the new release limited time and you know, let's see how good it is for the holiday season
So it's the mint chocolate shake from Arby's going in
I could already pretty much give an assessment but I'm gonna take a few more sips of it
Of course the flavours in general what you're expecting out of it is basic, you know mint chocolate right? That's what you're
Looking for all right, here's what it just comes down to
It's got that chocolate to it
it's it's it's not
it has a good I
Guess not necessarily texture, but you know what?
I mean when I'm getting down to the world of shakes where sometimes it's just too
Solid and it's like solid ice cream and you can't really sip it through a straw
Other times it's too watery. It's that it's at that stage or it's got that good combination. There's a little bit of drag and
Resistance but it's it's still... It's like a milkshake. You know, it's like how a shake should be
Mintiness... I wish I was a little more minty
Especially considering the color. It's like a minty green type of color you'd think wow
It must be really I guess Spearmint perhaps but it really isn't you can taste that chocolate that's in there
Milk chocolate very sweet and actually has a bit of a vanilla taste to it as well
But not as minty as I would have expected
So that's the only thing really to go with there
It's certainly chocolatey and it's like a vanilla shake of some chocolate added and then the mint is more or less an aftertaste
it's still very pleasant to drink though and
Certainly very I mean it's pretty high. I gotta give him credit
Pleasant to drink but I just wish there's a little more mint to it
So if that being said, I'm just gonna probably do two reviews or one price for that
$2.49 out of ten. I'm gonna give it a 7.0 flat
But it was very pleasant to drink but when they they say that it's a mint chocolate
Shake you just expect there to be a little more emphasis on the mint than what there really was
I would say it's more of like a vanilla chocolate shake with then a little bit of mint
I added kind of as a garnish but it's not really the
center focus of it all so to speak so now on to the food review
And buffalo chicken sandwich
Now this one
I just wanted to go for it. I
Got it with no
Cuz what does it come on?
Well, it's a buffalo chicken lettuce on a bun and it's supposed to come with this peppercorn ranch
But I'm not a fan of it
so this is what I usually get this like my usual go-to for Arby's and it's a good sized sandwich just a
piece of lettuce thankfully
What I like about it is I it's always you always get
Lettuce falling out of it. That's not what I was gonna say, but you always get a good portion size
Okay, you can kind of see peeking through there. There's a view of that chicken
Yeah buffalo chicken
And it's just really sauced up. That's the only way to to put it again
You can kind of see it's just a little bit of a messy sandwich just time around because they really just coat it
in the sauce
But I'm just seeing if I could find a way to get a good grip on the bun without it being an utter disaster
I'll show you. Here you go.
So, I mean you can see right there
You know, it's just it's it's a basic sandwich. It's got that buffalo sauce on it, but a really good-sized patty and
Just lettuce there
So with that I'm just gonna take a few bites. I'll let you know
I'm probably going to enjoy it though. As I said, this is my go-to for a reason
I always like that spicy stuff stuff sometimes so I'm just gonna take a few bites and let you know my thoughts
So it's the buffalo chicken sandwich?
No parmesan
peppercorn sauce on it though going in
So to give a pretty quick assessment on that I
Always like it because you get a good amount of chicken a good portion size for what you're paying. It's around
Five dollars, but you ain't get a good a good chicken patty its crispy but it has that juiciness and that flavor in there
Too just a good quality chicken patty overall and get that buffalo sauce. It tastes good you get that just right
Amount of spice not overwhelming but not underwhelming either. Yes. That's a good amount of flavor to it
Only thing just to keep in mind is that sometimes the lettuce the stringiness,
They can just be a little bit of an annoyance how it can kind of fall fall over
But otherwise, it's just a good, you know a good sandwich in my opinion
That's why I always get it just very flavorful
Good portion size again if the chicken and they're just a good spiciness two out of ten
8.4 out of ten is my rating and with that that's all that I have for you. Thank you for watching
