AN ARBY'S AWAKENING


Before heading for Kansas City this morning, Big Mak needed to fuel up - which meant 87 octane for the Cavalier and a Big Montana for its master. Having just feasted on my daily dog food (a.k.a. generic Aldi imitation frosted mini-wheats) I was left in a difficult position. I didn't feel like a roast beef sandwich, but I just couldn't sit there and watch Arby's sauce cascade down Mak's chin. What was I to do? As P-Diddy would suggest, diversify.
Previously, I had shuddered at the thought of an Arby's roast beef gyros effort. However, at this point in time I found myself more receptive than ever to the prospect of combining quality roast beef with everything that's right about a gyros. This sounded promising, I had to admit. Sealing the deal was the siren's song of the outdoor sign beckoning me to try one for just $2.99.
Best money I ever spent. All the gyros flavor, and none of the recycled aftertastes and gaseous discharges that normally accompany a gyros adventure (only a well-timed gas station ice cream waffle cone brought out my strongest flavors and allowed me to hotbox Big Mak with noxious fumes).
Seeking to spread the gospel, I tried to find a picture of this delicious goodness, but even Arby's disavows its existence - this suggests that the gyros is only in the testing phases. I highly recommend that anyone fortunate enough to come across a roast beef gyros try one before they disappear (like the McDonald's ribwich, but this creation won't cause your digestive tract to file for divorce).
You see, fast food places will try ANYTHING to get you in the door, from Hardee's giant beef taco salad to Wendy's Ciabatta sandwiches to KFC's Bowls o' Death. Like throwing spitballs at a wall and seeing what sticks, the fast food universe will introduce a ridiculous number of new products; few will last past their introductory period or designated season.
So please, make the Arby's gyros stick so that I can be a cheap bastard and keep getting my $2.99-are-you-out-of-your-mind lunch specials.
More tomorrow on the K.C. baseball slip-n-slide involving a ridiculous number of ex-Cubs stiffs.
Other stories shall remain untold...
