So does The Simpsons. Personally, I’ve boycotted them ever since they took their regular fries off the menu in favor of the abomination that is curly fries. Doesn’t matter that they’ve brought them back. They are dead to me.
In a recent episode with Zach Galifianakis, he acknowledged that he’s constantly making fun of them, but not for any particular reason. He also mentioned that they are one of the closest restaurants and that they always order their lunches for the writers and show crew and the person who delivers the food is really very nice.
That’s crazy talk! Curly fries are the only reason I’ll eat at Arbys.
To which I reply: A damn good one.
Several Arby’s restaurants locally have closed in the past several years. Used to be three of them in places I frequented in southern Maryland, but all three of them have closed.
So people around here apparently feel there’s something lacking about Arby’s food.
Yeah, the curly fries were the end of Arby’s for me, too. Never again.
The “Have a blessed day” business is mildly irritating, about as irritating as Truett Cathy wasting his money to be on the wrong side of history. But I find it’s usually balanced by a tasty chicken sandwich and employees who get my order right without having to repeat it twice.
Monaghan hasn’t owned (or been involved with) Domino’s since 1998.
How would anyone know if it had been spelled correctly?
I know that, but his pizza sucked while he still owned Domino’s.
In any event, my larger point stands: I eat the foods I like, not the foods that generate profits for the right causes. I think it’s wonderful that Monaghan funds so many worthy Catholic charities. I hope he goes to Heaven.
But you still couldn’t have paid me enough to eat his lousy pizza.
Jesus has made clear which chicken place He blesses.
Sure. I just don’t approach fast food like that.
Maybe all the fried meat will kill them off eventually.
I used to love their grilled chicken sandwiches when there was one near my work.
They were cheap and tasty. Most other fast food restaurants charged a couple bucks more and weren’t as good.
I haven’t eaten there in years because the nearest location is a good 40-45 minutes away. I don’t really give a shit what their religious stances are, unless they’re forcing employees to follow them. I have considered decking myself out with pentagrams, upside down crosses, and an old Motley Crue “Shout at the Devil” t-shirt next time I go, just for laughs.

None of them have closed, but I don’t think any of the Arbys in my area are doing too well. I’ve a running bet with a friend on which chain will go under first, Arbys or KFC, which has also really gone down the tubes.
Here’s my question: do they say “Have a bless’d day” or “have a blesséd day”? Because if it’s former, I will join your ire.
Blessed as a prenominal adjective has two syllables, dagnabbit.
You still have slaves…that’s awesome!!
Seriously…what’s this thread still doing in Cafe Society? …and, yes I did report it.
It’s a piece of chicken that is fried, true. You can get a piece of chicken that is fried damn near anywhere, including my own kitchen, also true. However, it’s a piece of chicken that is consistently fried well, and those two italicized words are where a hell of a lot of places fall down. Also, it’s a consistently well-fried piece of chicken that I didn’t have to haul out the frying thermometer and set up a breading station and fill the Dutch oven halfway with oil to make and then clean everything up afterward. Not that cooking at home is an option if I’m considering CFA–the closest one to me is 2 hours away.
Then too, fast food isn’t something I specifically leave the house to get more than 3-4 times a year, or even normally drive out of my way for. It’s a convenience food, for when I’m out and around at mealtime and either won’t be home for a long while or have some sort of time pressure making it difficult to cook. Hell, most of the time I won’t even drive more than a block or two out of my way to go somewhere specific. After all, if I was going to go to that kind of trouble and take that kind of time, I could either cook or go to a real restaurant.
Maybe all that right-to-life stuff will replace their numbers? 
Since I will be passing the local CFA today, I’ll make it a point to pick up a sack of delicious chicken sandwiches for my family and me. And maybe for some of my neighbors.
Ahahahahaha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha. Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
HA.
