From [a rather hostile review](http://www.salon.com/2014/08/25/arbys_new_10_meat_mountain_will_destroy_us_all/):
> [@](#):
>
> The full stack, which fits between two buns but not in the store’s standard packaging, includes the following:
>
> 2 chicken tenders
>
> 1.5 oz. of roast turkey
>
> 1.5 oz. of ham
>
> 1 slice of Swiss cheese
>
> 1.5 oz. of corned beef
>
> 1.5 oz. brisket
>
> 1.5 oz. of Angus steak
>
> 1 slice of cheddar cheese
>
> 1.5 oz. roast beef
>
> 3 half-strips of bacon
The article says it’s not on the menu but you can get it if you ask for it.
So, what’s the general Dopereaction to the above – are you drooling, or lurching towards the toilet, or going, “What, only two slices of cheese?!”

Yeeeeah. One little Arbys roast beef sandwich gives me the trots. I don’t want to think of the ammunition that monstrosity would provide.

The hell? Over a half pound of meat and two chicken tenders on top of that?
Only way I’m getting one is if I can find someone to take half.

Eh,Looks like it’s about as much meat as the average Deli Pastrami or corned-beef sandwich these days.

Looks like a shotgun approach to sandwich making. The flavors really don’t appear to compliment the others, just more overpriced lunch meat topped with cheese food and chicken.

If I can get it without the corned beef, I’m in.

I could pick the sandwich apart and share it with Black Dog (my GSD/hound mix). After reading the linked article, I’ve come to the conclusion that author Lindsay Abrams is a judgmental, hyperboling food nazi and an asshole.

There should be fried egg and a handful of fries and some vinegar slaw in there too.

It is about the same as everything else on their menu. Nothing I really dislike, but nothing worth going out of my way to get. It’s fast food brisket.

The brisket I’ve had there this summer-- in the form of a Smokehouse Brisket Deluxe or whatever its name was-- was quite tasty.
With a couple of qualifiers-- I’m soooo not an expert on brisket. And anything served with as many toppings as the sandwich I ate (cheese, barbeque sauce, maybe some other sauce, pickles (ok, I provided those), fried onion strips . . . would be tasty.
