Au Jus...Oh My God!

By Mikey 

From the OYIT Vault:



You might have noticed that I like eating at restaurants if you've been reading my articles. By far, my favorite restaurant is Arby's. They have some of the best roast beef that money can buy, and that's where all my extra money goes. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, a penny saved is a penny to Arby's. My wife loves that one.

I would like to give you a quick tour of my favorite food place. I will also, for your sake, give reviews to the many delicious sandwiches you can purchase at Arby's.


I enter the door and am immediately taken aback by the smiles of the employees. I can tell that they truly love their job, and I am somewhat jealous. They work in one of the best restaurants. They are lucky.

I walk up to the cashier and order my usual, 3 roast beef sandwiches, curly fries and a vanilla shake. I am about to eat what the Greek gods ate. I don't really know what they ate, maybe worms. Who really knows? They probably would eat Arby's if it existed back then.

I sit down and taste my shake. It is amazing. I take a bite of my roast beef sandwich and I am in heaven. I have to check my pulse to make sure I'm still alive. The curly fries...good golly, they are superb! Some men enjoy golf, I have Arby's.

When I am done eating my great food and drinking my fantastic shake, I respectfully throw away my garbage. The employees are grateful of my courtesy (a thing most people are not aware of, especially bosses). I exit through the door with a smile on my face that shines so bright it could make the sun blush.

Reviews of Sandwiches

  • Roast Beef Sandwich
    The classic. It's hard to mess with perfection.
    Rating: 10/10

  • Beef and Cheddar
    This is when messing with perfection leads to something even better than perfection. This is perfection plus!
    Rating: 10/10

  • Super Roast Beef Sandwich
    This is another case of adding a few choice ingredients to the classic roast beef sandwich. This sandwich truly is super.
    Rating: 10/10

  • Arby-Q
    This is my illegal drugs. I don't use drugs, so I imagine that this is what drugs are like. This sandwich helped me understand the problems my brother was going through with addiction. I'm addicted to these sandwiches, and rightfully so: they're delicious!

  • Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich
    This sandwich is good, but it can't even touch the roast beef sandwiches. I can understand the reasons they put it on their menu, but it's just not for me.
    Rating: 9/10

  • French Dip & Swiss Toasted Sub
    This is the sandwich that gave me hope. When I was struggling in college, I went to Arby's to think things over. When I dipped this sandwich into Arby's savory au jus sauce it was a religious experience. I knew that God was trying to tell me to finish college, and that's what I did. You don't mess with the big guy.

    I hope this article helped you. It felt good to get this out of my system. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my chest. I hope the next time you're trying to think of a place to eat, you'll remember this article and stop in at Arby's for a nice meal made by people that care. Thank you.



  • Fast Food

    By Mikey 

    As frequent readers of my One Year in Texas article Life With Mikey will tell you, I eat a lot of fast food. It's my greatest weakness. It's my Kryptonite. I don't really think of myself as Superman, but I hope some people do. Maybe my son does, but he usually rolls his eyes when I tell him one of my lines from my article. Yet, I can hit a baseball way further than him at the batting cage. Kind of shows you what kids know.

    I want to take a deeper look at fast food in this article. I was originally going to title this article "Fast Food Nation" but I searched it on Yahoo and saw that some guy wrote a book with that title. I'm going to go deeper into the delicious world of fast food than I can in my other article. We're going to even talk about Hardee's and White Castle. That's how deep I'm going. For this article I'm going to stay away from pizza places, I think that could be an article in itself, and one that I'm dying to do the field research on, if you know what I mean.

    Arby's
    This is by far the best fast food establishment I have ever dined in. The building was beautiful and when I sat down in my booth I felt like I was sitting in my favorite chair at home in front of the TV for a McGuyver marathon. When the steam from my food hit my nose I drooled on my shirt a little. I tried to dab it out of my shirt with a napkin, but I just spread it around. I guess my only negative review of Arby's is that their napkins are not that great. They're not bad, but they're far from perfect (unlike their classic roast beef sandwich).

    McDonald's
    Mickey Dee's, as the kids call it, is the most famous restaurant in America and probably the world. Going there is like returning home from college for the first time. You feel comfortable but you can't wait to leave. I enjoy a Big Mac from time-to-time, but the Breakfast is where it's at. A Sausage McMuffin is one of the greatest food items on God's Earth. I feel like I understand the universe when I bite into one.

    Burger King
    BK has a pretty weak breakfast menu, but they make a killer chicken sandwich. As you may recall, I slammed Arby's chicken sandwich when I reviewed their sandwiches. Well, it's he opposite at BK. I don't like their burger that much. The Big Mac is basically the only burger I'm going to pay someone else to make for me. A burger is one of the few things I can make. Burger King relies too heavily on the burger, and why shouldn't they? It is in their name. Maybe they should change their name to Chicken King and have more great chicken sandwiches on their menu.

    Hardee's
    Their burgers used to have names like "monster" and "star" but now they're called "Angus." Angus is a better name for a rock and roller than it is for a burger. They do taste good though and Hardee's has curly fries. You can't go wrong with curly fries. Now that's a slogan I'd wear on a t-shirt!

    Long John Silver's
    Now this is a weird one. They mostly have fish and chicken. Their fish is good and their chicken is not bad, but what I like is their hush puppies. These are basically deep fried bread. If you think deep fried bread sounds bad then you shouldn't even be reading this. I would get a bucket of those if I could.

    A&W
    I don't have anything against A&W. Lord knows that I love a good rootbeer. The standout at A&W is the Papa Burger. I guess it's just a burger with a lot of regular things on it like lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard, onions, pickles and cheese, but it has a funny name. I think anybody who orders a Moon's Over My-Hammy from Denny's would enjoy a hunger quenching Papa Burger and some onion rings. Make sure to wash it down with a rootbeer!

    White Castle
    White Castle is the original fast food restaurant, but it's also the worst. Their burgers are so small. It makes me feel like giant, but after I eat it I feel sick. You don't need to know what comes after that. Call me when you get bigger burgers.

    Wendy's
    Wendy is an iconic character on the same level as the Burger King King or Ronald McDonald (or at least Grimmace). They get points for thinking outside the box. They have square hamburgers! So does White Castle, but theirs are small and greasy and Wendy's are big enough for a meal. Their fries are okay, but the frosty is one of the greatest frozen drinks I've had. It's like a milk shake and ice cream had a baby. I don't like ice cream, but I like its baby.

    My favorite is Arby's. I think that goes without saying. My least favorite is White Castle, although I respect that they were first. When I order a burger I want to be full, not sick. Hopefully this helped you choose where you'll be spending your lunch hours.

    Arby's Coupon Alert: Coupon Auction!

    By Mikey 

    The holidays have passed us by and now it's time to put that goodwill aside and put the boxing gloves on. I have for you a deal that is going to blow your mind: an auction for 5 Arby's coupons.

    I hate to pit you reader's against me in this auction, but it's my duty as the author of Arby's Coupon Alert to alert you of any Arby's Coupon that comes across my desk.

    The ebay auction is here.

    The items these coupons are for are:

    BUY ONE GET ONE FREE

    1-BEEF 'N CHEDDAR SANDWICH

    1-ARBY'S SUB

    1-CHICKEN FILET SANDWICH

    1-REGULAR ROAST BEEF SANDWICH

    1-SIDE KICK APPETIZER

    One last thing, you will never outbid me so don't even bother trying.

    Arby's Coupon Alert: Buy 1 Get 1

    By Mikey 

    You know how they say that things are always the last place you look for them? Well, that must be true because I found these coupons on Arbys.net and immediately stopped looking for Arby's coupons and headed straight to my local establishment.

    These are coupons that are both to get a sandwich free when you buy one, although they are worded differently. If you are anything like me, when you eat just one Arby's sandwich you still want another one. This is a perfect coupon for that situation.

    Head over to Arbys.net and print these coupons out.
