Arby's Pork Belly Sammich: Have You Devoured?
 

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.

Looks good in the commercials.

Ready to plow!!!

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

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

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

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.

Their pulled pork sammy is surprisingly ****ing good!

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.

9 posts and no mention of Hope Solo.......FOR SHAME!!!!

It's pork belly, not pork pussy!

eh...either way, Arbys always makes me think of Hope! :)

LMAO

I haven't had a good Arby's in years. They all suck around here.

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.

Hell those little roast beef sliders with jalapeño are on point.

Well then stop watching the god damn commercial and go eat the ****ing sammich. YOU THINK I'M JACKING OFF THESE PIGS FOR FUN !

Jesus ****ing Christ, is this SR #2!?!?!?!

We have a food thread here people and it's not the off-season!

Here, also.

This is your winner, gentlemen.

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?

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

Is that still on the menu?!?!

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:

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

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

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.

This

I assumed that,
sorry my bad

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

I have not!

100% this.

But the sammich looks awful, without regard to your fun time activities

Hog Farmer did, though

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

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

I'm waiting for a fast food to put these cholesterol yum yums on the menu.

Arby's saying **** it and just airbrushing the yoga mat to look like bacon.

Because food threads rule.

Arby's Pork Belly Sammich: Have You Devoured?
 

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.

I don't know about you but I can't live without food I think I'm addicted?

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

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.

It's too much. A small hunk of pork belly is plenty. It's so decadent.

Uh oh...
FMB's about to get going with the food porn. LMAO

It's a food thread! :cuss:

860 calories do not want

JFC. That's insane!

it's actually getting good reviews online.

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

That's it? I would have figured more.

Exactly. That would be worth 860.

Where can I find this wedding reception???

Hell

Or Branson.

I have an issue eating foods that have unappetizing names, so no.

Thank you! Totally going to smash now.

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

Recipe?

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.

A local BBQ joint here serves pork belly hush puppies with some jalapeno jelly on the side.

To. Die. For.

860 calories? :eek:

If you want fast food reviews, Reviewbrah has got you covered:

This dweeb is ****ing creepy! Thanks for the link though. His other videos are creepy as **** as well.

LoL, yeah i picked up a little Gay Day myself. :thumb:

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

That cheese looks like a super dehydrated piss after a long night of drinking.

That kid has never had snacks from under any apron.

I think this is it... did the mayo, too.

It's ****ing terribad. Don't bother.

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.

Yeah, this is how I want to experience pork belly... made by a real chef in a local joint

Bout what I thought

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

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

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

You described him in the most succinct way a human being could I think.

Honest moment... I'm not an experienced smoker, if I'm gonna have it, its gotta be at a restaurant

You can make it in an oven pretty easily. Foodspin has a decent easy recipe it. If you live in the Johnson county area, the Asian market on 119th and Metcalf has it for cheap
