Arby’s parent company just bought Dunkin

Arbys changed their menu 8 or so years ago.


I came on here telling everyone Arbys had really stepped up their game. Because they had.


Everyone made fun of me. But some people tried the new arbys menu with an open mind and realized what I did. They were the best fast food going in America.

I get the last laugh because Arbys has been so wildly successful over that period that they are buying out other major restaraunt chains.


I feel vindicated, yet people still want to deride my supertasting abilities, thats OK.

Well I'm w/ @August, I love Arby's, always have going back to the 70's.

Arbys is the flagship.


Im sorry Burger King (which also used to be good when DD was good) hasnt kept up with the times. If you were smart you would send your resume on to Arbys and have a career with some growth to it, but I wouldnt mention your BK employment, Arby's has a higher standard and may think your BK experience although in the fast food environment is not adequate.

As I said, AW has no idea how business works.

Never had Arby’s but Dunkin‘s food is brutal.

Muffins, donuts, coffee are alright. The actual food is awful.

Bagels ok when they toast it right.

beats Starbucks. Lol. No idea why their food is that Awful.
 
I've always found that DD is highly dependent on which one you go to. Some are always good. Some always suck.

If you want a donut: Heavenly donut in Derby and Seymour is very good and reasonably priced.

Very true. I only go to BK when I'm really constipated. Milk of Magnesia has nothing on a Whopper.

I’ve got to understand this. Every single component is subpar, and the egg patty thing is just nasty. Is it that you like it in the way that sometimes a pizza slice from Costco hits the spot?

It's hilarious Kolumbo works at the absolute worst fast food joint, BK has been dreadful for years.

Kinda on topic . I excitedly stopped at Wendy’s for their new breakfast offerings on way home from New Hampshire yesterday


it sucked hard . I got the “ baconator “ breakfast sandwich . On paper it looked great. Double bacon, a sausage patty separating 2 fried eggs on a roll. What could go wrong?

it was vomit inducing. What they don’t tell you is instead of cheese they put a “ cheese/ hollandaise“ spread on it. Now I love hollandaise on eggs and I love cheese on eggs, but there is a special place in hell for what Wendy’s is trying to approximate with that nauseating spread.

arbys needs in on the breakfast game.

Oooh thanks for that. I remember Wendy's releasing the breakfast menu right as Covid hit and I just never made it a point to go there since... I just walk over to my kitchen now. If I do go, I'll ask for real cheese no sauce.

Yeah,

And then reading later I see that only that the Baconator and the Sausage, Egg, and "swiss" croissant (which is what GF got) get that hollandaise treatement. (because they dont list ingredients on menu at drive thru, we were so horrifed about "WTF is this spread" as we were eating that gf looked it up while we were eating and driving) I wish I just went for the classic BEC off their menu it was bound to be better.

Is this really a shock?
Wouldn't blame it on one isolated thing!!

nah. If country cow gave me a double egg, double bacon spilt by a sausage patty on a roll offering, Im sure it would be sublime. Once in a year breakfast healthwise, but sublime nonetheless.

So, we have a Wendy's nearby my work. Earlier this year when they launched breakfast they had a promo for free breakfast sandwich every week for a year for the first 100 customers. Me and a co-worker went there the first day, unaware of the promo, and got a coupon book. It's a BOGO for every week for a year.

I tried the baconator and was also disgusted by the white cheese sauce. I will say I did use the bread from the sandwich to soak every last bit of that juice.

I think I've gone through there maybe 4-5 more times since March and have tried different sandwiches. They all suck. Hardees is still the champ for fast food breakfast sandwiches, McD's #2 and everyone else sucks. And that includes Chick Fil A who hasn't figured out breakfast yet. I will say for a super regional chain, Whataburger has a helluva a honey butter chicken biscuit for breakfast.

As compared to other fast morning take out like slimy egg sandwiches from McDonald's.

I’ve had my fair share of both, not hating... I feel like McD’s has nailed the simplicity of an egg McMuffin. Hard to make one better yourself.

The muffin part of the egg mcmuffin is wretched. Almost always undercooked and dry. That being said, if you are going fast food the egg mcmuffin is generally on the low end of total calories and fat calories.

If you’re having McDonald’s breakfast, you gotta go egg and cheese on a biscuit.

I'll unapologetically suck down a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit from McD's.

I was suggesting if for whatever reason, health and diet enters your fast food decisions, the mcmuffin is probably the best choice amongst sandwiches.
 
There's no question. McDonald's has come up with the technology to create food that makes people feel good temporarily. It's science. Their French fries used to be fried in oil that contained beef tallow, so now that they only use vegetable oil, they add a chemical that mimics the smell of the older method.

Dunkin Donuts doesn't go to that level. You just get a microwaved egg and gummy bagel.
 
I hate Dunkin but my wife and daughters all like it. We drove through on Saturday after my daughter’s soccer game and after they both ordered I called an audible and made an impulse purchase of the Ghost Pepper Donut based solely on the ad right next to the menu.

It was underwhelming. Barely spicy at all.

I said it's hard to improve upon an egg McMuffin... but not impossible.

Homemade English muffins are 1 billion times better than Thomas's. I've also made my own breakfast sausage too. I draw the line at raising my own chickens.

Back when I was broke a McMuffin was a treat. I could get one with a small coffee for cheap. I'd eat it open face, spreading the strawberry jam on the top half.
