Arby's Pork Belly Sammich: Have You Devoured?

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I want too, but I am fearful of disappointment. Anyone tried it already? Pros? Cons? Still alive to post about it? Post your experience here.

[threebag]

Looks good in the commercials.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Looks good in the commercials.

Ready to plow!!!

[Bugeater]

I had no idea such a thing existed, but I am intrigued.

[Easy 6]

Honestly never had porkbelly, and the idea of trying it was somewhat tempting at first

But I swear, every time I watch that commercial... the less interested I am in trying Arbys version of it, the more I see that ad... the grosser its imagined to be

Something like that is better off being discovered in some kind of Bourdain-Zimmerman type food adventure IMO

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Pork Belly is fucking amazing!!! As long as it's done right. Think burnt ends. Not taste, but perfection. How it has to be prepared perfectly.

[Rasputin]

Wendy's has a pork sammich with coleslaw once in a while for a special I think it's pretty good. I look forward to it back on the menu.

Well Arby's is probably not the place to try it then.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Their pulled pork sammy is surprisingly fucking good!

Well Arby's is probably not the place to try it then.

Arby's has surprised me with their ability to pull these off. Their brisket sandwich is way better than I expected. I'm going to have to make a run and update this thread tomorrow or the next day if someone doesn't beat me to it.

The 1 franchise we have in Hillbilly Hollywood is better than any other store I've been too in a decade. Not sure what the deal is, but they're good here.

I haven't had Arby's in several years. I never think to go there. Last time I went I had onion pedals with a Jamocha shake lol. Do they still have onion pedals?

[lewdog]

I used to get their beef and cheddar all the time in high school.

Is that still on the menu?!?!

[threebag]

The brisket sandwich is a good lunch. I must be lucky i seem to have a kick ass Arby's here in Andover.

That was always my choice.

I had a beef and cheddar the other day. Quality really seems to have dropped at Arby's over the past few years.

Unsure, but I can confirm that they do indeed still have the Jamocha shake! :clap:

[threebag]

I dont know if i like when food places get cute with different buns. The onion roll is nice.

[dlphg9]

It's a pretty decent sandwich. Tastes like big hunks of bacom

[Tempest]

Hardees has a DAMN good bun. That perfect mixture of toasty sweetness. The mushroom Swiss burger from Hardees is a damn good sandwich, for fast food standards.

Pork Belly is pretty much bacon. It's probably really good.

The soft onion bun is the best thing about an Arby sammich, no doubt

Andover? No shit... I lived there before the soccer moms took it over.

[BlackHelicopters]

Arby's can't pull off a regular sandwich. Imagine the clusterfuck that a "pork belly" will be. Do yourself a favor and make your own at home.

Not true. That's like saying pork loin is basically Canadian bacon.

It's the same cut, but bacon is cured and smoked. Pork belly is typically roasted or braised. The flavor of pork belly will be distinctly porky (not bacony), and the texture will be totally different.

Pork belly is awesome, though.

These are some sous vide pork belly sliders I made a while back.

It's like air I breath I kinda have to have it.

[Gonzo]

Jesus, I don't think I've ever been hungry enough to eat that.

Small bits of pork belly is ok in black eyed peas or something, not a sandwich.
Just looking at it drenched in BBQ sauce is giving me chest pains.

For the money, basically every meat and sandwich Arby's has is outstanding. Probably the most underrated fast food place on Earth.

[Hydrae]

I had no idea Arby's is the second largest fast food chain in the US.

By number of outlets, third in sales. I just came across this interesting detail about a month ago myself and was also surprised.

I expect that McDonalds is #1 in both with Chik-Fil-A being up there in sales since they have the most sales per location of any fast food chain.

Oh and no, I have not had that sandwich but there is no better milk shake than a Jamocha shake from Arby's! Worth the trip all by itself, IMO.

How? Arby's bought Wendy's which might have done it for a bit but Wendy's sold Arby's of a while back. Even then I think BK, Subway, or Chik would be over a Wendys/Arbys combo group

So... I was pretty drunk the other night, and fell down the rabbit hole watching a bunch of this weirdo's food videos. Man, this guy is fascinating in a Freudian curiosity kinda way. He's so very weird, and not very intelligent. But he's got this oblivious undeserved confidence quality that's oddly entertaining. Some of what he does just cracks me up, and not because he's trying to be funny. Like his awkward silent moments where he's just chowing down, yet still has this methodical look like he's really concerned with how he's eating. Then comes up with these dumb bizarre reviews. That and the oversized cheap suit, lawyer/pedophile haircut, and the weird way his mouth moves.

It's pretty easy to make stellar pork belly at home. Just stay away from fast food doing it.

[Valiant]

It was okay. Expensive for what it is.
Their brisket is a better choice if you are going faux bbq.

[DrunkBassGuitar]

I've had it. I love pork belly. It's the best thing I've ever had at a fast food restaurant, but at the same time, it's not the best example of pork belly. If you've never had it, try it but realize the pork belly can be better

My local Arbys went full-ghetto.

My wife went back because it was wrong, left her cell phone on and recorded the retarded ass conversation she had with the person at the register (to Arbys credit the manager was on her ass about screwing up.)

After ordering the $372 meat avalanche or whatever they call the 3 meat sandwich I was greeted with 5 slabs of thick fat, some roast beef, and some chicken.

3rd time back the manager made our meal. It was correct. I shed a tear because another part of America died that day...

Actually, it should be more of a sustainability issue.

It takes 1500 gallons of water to produce 1 lb. of beef protein.
