The phrase “get ’em while they’re hot” certainly applied when it came to Arby’s new seasonal offering.
Last week, Arby’s announced they would be unveiling a venison sandwich, made from 100 percent deer meat.
In addition to the venison steak, the sandwich also came with onions and a berry sauce on a toasted roll.
The sandwich was to be available from Friday through Sunday, but as of about noon Friday, a spokesperson reported that all five Minnesota locations carrying the sandwich had sold out.
In some case, it sold out in less than a half-hour.
The sandwiches were briefly available in St. Louis Park, Cloquet, St. Cloud and Superior, Wisconsin.
Oh, deer!
Damn you sir & your quick post!
I am gunna tell my Aunt Lur about this asap.
Expand, expand, expand. This good land has no shortage of white-tailed deer and this ought to be a chain-wide staple.
Good luck and happy hunting to all Freepers out there !
Excellent! Wonder if I should start harvesting deer for Arby’s? Check out the PRICES they’re getting for Wisconsin Roadkill! WOW! (It’s not really Roadkill. Settle down...)

that looks soon good
I love venison
My Sister and Brother-in-Law spend six months in Europe every year. They are currently in Hungary but just moving to Belgrade in a day or so.
One thing she mentioned to me was that just about every restaurant in Hungary serves venison. I suppose it is farm raised but don’t know for sure.
Deer me! Yuk, Elk on the other hand is excellent.
Indeed......
Here in the north woods of Georgia hunting season is on
I am so not going to Arbys for venison. They’d just ruin it.
I’m already suspicious of the meat in most fast food establishments. Why would you trust one to serve you venison? Where does it come from, how is it processed, and how did they come up with enough commercial venison to start offering sandwiches all of a sudden?
Bambi Burgers !!! ......... dang good !
Bambi on a bun!
Almost heaven.
It didn’t happen all of a sudden.
There have been deer raising operations in the US for at least 20 years.
They started out as a place to resupply the deer population.
When I was a toddler there were few deer in my part of Va.
Plenty of Turkey and small game but the deer were on the ropes.
Now they’re everywhere.
Restaurants have been offering venison for probably a decade now.
Create a market and an expanded supply will pop up.
Now there is enough supply to bring the price low enough that fast food restaurants can offer a venison sandwich.
They did the same thing with bison.
What started out as managed herds to keep the bison alive has turned into a commercial operation supplying the food industry.
Same with elk.
There haven’t been wild elk in Va for generations.
Maybe fifteen years ago the elk was reintroduced into NC, Maggie Valley I think.
That one managed herd is now expanding and headed towards Va.
“Daddy...you’re not going to eat Bambi, are you?”
“Yes honey, and with thumper stew as an appetizer.”
My brother served me elk meatballs once.
They laid around in my gut for about a week.
Could you hear them bugling?
