Fast-food chains are constantly competing for customers' dollars and attention, and specialty offerings are a way to attract new customers and maintain existing ones. That's important for Arby's, which has 3,400 U.S. restaurants, according to industry research firm Technomic. That's a substantially smaller footprint compared to other chains, like McDonald's (roughly 14,000 locations).
As prices surge, fast-food customers are growing increasingly picky about where they go out to eat, McDonald's noted on a recent call with analysts. More than ever, quick-serve restaurants are fighting for loyalty.
A surprising but popular item might do the trick at Arby's. Its new burger is blend of Wagyu beef and ground beef and will be "highest-quality burger the market has seen yet," the company said. The company spent more than two years developing the burger.

Their Greek Gyro is very good.

Wagyu beef? I don’t eat fast-food, but this I might have to try? Hopefully it won’t confirm why I don’t eat fast-food.
American Wagyu, go figure.
Nor do I...Arby's is my favorite fast food place.
I am sad I missed the corned beef on rye
The development work is “How do we make this to stand out in a crowded marketplace and fit within our existing branding?” After all it is just a cooked chunk of ground beef between two buns, something that can be purchased at most any restaurant and they specialize in roast beef.
Burger Chef.
It was my first job, and I could make fairly good french fries. 25¢, at the time, and a burger was 35¢.
Those were the days of 32¢ a gallon gas too.
You can get Moon Pies at Cabela’s and on occasion at Costco, too. I’ll plead guilty to enjoying them every now and again accompanied by a decent Texas bourbon!
