There’s an Arby’s not too far from me. Might have to try the corned beef. But there is a Smashburger across the street that is hard to pass up. There is a place in downtown Brenham that makes a darn good Ruben.
Well the MBAs realized decades ago that the sauce is a LOT less expensive than meat...
it’s pronounced gyro.
it’s pronounced yum.
I get the real thing now.
No. You’re completely wrong. It’s pronounced gyro.
Right - last time I was forced into one of those joints the HB was like something I’d expect from White Castle in the 60s.
The first time in went into one, out of curiosity, it smelled so bad I only got a few feet past the entrance - like something rotted and died a month ago.
My husband frequents a Greek place run by actual Greeks. He uses the Greek when one of them is there, but if he does that with some of the hired Americans they don’t know what he means.
Even working there!
One thing I will say, I think Arby’s does a great job when I’m on the road, we look for them for sure. But when I’m home, I have different local places I go for all this stuff. For instance, for gyros, we have an Israeli Mediterranean place that does great gyros, schwarmas, sliced lamb, lamb shishkabob, etc. For Reubens, there’s a local English pub chain that does them up great. Also does great fish and chips, I’d get that over a fish sandwich.
There’s a local place that makes a great Reuben and puts it on a mild rye. Theirs are great. The meat is sliced so thin it melts in your mouth, plus they make their own kraut and it is to die for.
My complaint is most rye is just too overbearing. A mild rye is good.
Lots of people of German descent here. The paternal side of my family is Scottish to the bone, the maternal side is German by way of England. I love going to the family gatherings because theres lots of kraut, sausages and potato salad!
I was lucky enough to be near a Jewish deli that made amazing sandwiches. They cut meat and cheese to order. Added a extra minute or two, but soooooo worth it.
Without of course.
Birds eat seeds, I don’t!
😳
Arby’s has the BEST Mocha Shakes. The large size is huge! A few years back they started putting whip topping on top that I forgo. I’m addicted to them. Their chocolate shakes are fabulous as well.
“I love a good Reuben, but I’d want Russian dressing instead of Thousand Island.”
Either or. Both work for me.
“I could go for one of those Double Stacked Reuben sammichs!”
Me too! But, it’s supposed to look good.
you are right... i am mistaken... gyro it is.
I like a pumpernickel rye
Just tried the fish sandwich after reading this article.
Wendy’s is way better.
