We got the beef. But since tyde recommending will try it this week as wife away on business just drove her to airport. Never had the Arbys. Closest is 20 minutes away. People swear by White Castle. Nastiest food I had.

I had White Castle a grand total of one time. Kept hearing about it for years. So like 10 years ago I pulled into one. Worst food I have ever eaten. Got like 5 of those micro burgers, tossed three of them. When I say tossed, literally whizzed out the window on a highway.Quote:

Your from Southern California and would know more about I n Out Burger not White Castle its an older traditional but nasty fast food Joint in the Northeast mostly (Only came to Florida recently)
its kinda funny how some view it in some kinda special way because you wont get them micro burgers (lolll) everywhere and little insight to the white castle burger you hated
#1 thing to know about a White Castle Burger is they aren't grilled, they're steamed
Because we don't compete in their space the new Wendy's breakfast thing sausiiiiiige biscuit and their elite breakfast potatoes is kinda popping yall find urself a coke zero somwhere else but its great also no egg which is a bonus
Oops I fucked u[ their slogan its actually we got the meatsQuote:

0 stars
just awful
In & Out obv the stone cold nuts
Those micro burgers were like those small hockey pucks at an arcade game. Literally I whipped them at exit signs, for all I know they dented the sign.Quote:

Stopped in yesterday and got a French Dip. I'm telling you this sandwich is the nuts. Get an extra au jus for the curley fries. Probably get a week's worth of sodium as a bonus. Always good for the body to stockpile sodium on the days you might not get enough.

"There are the burgers we are selling. You can buy them, or not buy them if you don't like them," I was told.
Well, thanks for the fucking newsflash.
I almost walked out, but it was late at night and I was tired and didn't feel like searching out what else was open.
I bought a few of those tiny burgers and scraped the onions off myself.
They were terrible. I don't understand the hype. Because Harold and Kumar got stoned and ate them in a movie 20 years ago?
Never again.
Another place that is the absolute worst is Little Caesars. I had never been in one to get a pizza, but one day I pulled over to get a soda, and there was a Little Caesars next door and they advertised a lunch special on their window, like 2 slices and a drink for $5. I was like why not.Quote:

On the highway, one bite, that was it, sailed both slices out the window. As bad a White Castle was, that place was infinitely worse.
I live about 3 minutes from the first Arbys. My dad would take me when I was a little kid. I recall a time when I'd ask for it on vacation in Florida when I was young and it wasn't yet a national chain. By junior high/ high school it was national. I recall having some FBA (future business and what the a stands for is something that escapes me) class in high school and one of the founders came in and spoke since they were local. Some old Jew.
Up to that point, I always thought Arby's stood for roast beef. It was for Raffel Brothers, two Jewish brothers from over here who started it and eventually sold out to RC Cola. I think it would be a bold move for store 7087 to embrace its Zionist origins and have the employees wear yarmulkes, observe the high holidays, and prepare the smokehouse brisket in a more traditional manner. Consider this a note dropped in the suggestion box.
I might eat at an Arby's once a year, but it's always a Reuben, which I think is pretty good for the price. Make sure to ask them NOT to put the horseradish on it and just get two or three horseradish sauce cups on the side, instead. Trust me on this. Your sandwich either needs wrung out or the bread is barely painted if you let them do it. Also, curly fries dipped in the horsey sauce; that's fucking living.Quote:

All of that out of the way, if you've ever had kids and have thrown a large(ish) birthday party for them, you really can't do better than Little Caesars. It's cheap and they're kids, so it's not like they would know Little Caesars from...

I don't know. Vocelli, I guess? You guys heard of Vocelli? Regional chain; pretty good. I can't think of a good pizza place everyone would know.
Cost about $1M - $1.5M to open an Arbys. Free standing costs more than say attached to a Pilot. Payback is 5 to 7 years:
Sales $1,253,804 100%
COGS $(386,172) 30.80%
Gross Profit $867,632 69%
Labor $(285,867) 23%
Marketing $(102,812) 8%
Occupancy $(112,842) 9%
Other OpEx $(150,456) 12%
EBITDA $215,654 17%
You can see how these franchise owners make a killing if they own say 10 or so.
