Arbys : Los Angeles - United States

Arby's was always a must-do for this Australian, after seeing the Apprentice jingle challenge for their chicken tenders, which is forever etched into my mind.



Located near our hotel, we stopped there for a roast beef injection. Ordering the classic, 'regular' roast beef combo, we waited for its delivery, accompanied by curly fries and some doctor pepper.



The roast beef sandwich exceeded expectations of Los Angeles fast food, being packed with thinly sliced roast beef, when stacked upon one-another, must have totaled around 20 slices, topped with cheddar cheese.




A simple concoction, which actually worked really well. The beef was decent, but could have had more flavour like a tasty doner kebab from home. The cheese really overpowered this beef, and i won't even go into the soggy bread roll which made the burger far less downable.



This experience makes me wonder whether something so simple, could be a successful franchise at home in Australia, where who knows whether there's room for another large fast food joint.

Is beef & cheese too simple for 2010? I personally think not, just look at the Philly cheese steak!
