05/07 - Glacier Trip - Arby's


Arby's is a rare bird in the fast food landscape. It looks like a fast food joint, smells like a fast food joint, but certainly doesn't taste like one. The grub tastes "fresher", as if they took the time to cook and prepare your meal, rather than nuking everything in the microwave. I can't explain it. Arby's rates third behind A&W and In 'n' Out as my favorite fast food. We visited a couple Arby's on our trip on the way and back from BC, Canada, and I was never disappointed. Johnny drooled everytime we passed one.

Arby's has a good thing going for them as underdogs, but I think they could use an image change. Instead of the cowboy motif, they should switch to pirates, call themselves Arrrrrrby's. They could serve fish tacos, offer rum with the cola, and include lime wedges with every meal. And they'd have a bitchin pirate hat on the marquee.

"Avast, mateys! There be food on the horizon. I spy an Arrrrrrrby's off the port bow!"
