I haven't been doing any real cooking lately.
I *need* to get my recipe binder organized. And my 2 new recipe boxes!
Here is one.
So instead of actually cooking anything, I am going to write a review!
I'm not sure if this has been said on here or not, but I work for Arby's. As such, I know when we have new sandwiches coming out.
Next Monday, my area Arby's restaurants have 3 new sandwiches coming out. We had training on them yesterday and I tried 2 of them (more on the third later).
The first sandwich is our GYRO. Gyros are Greek and normally made with lamb. Our sandwich is made with beef obviously.
The base is a pita bread like normal. It gets heated up. Then we will put on a "gyro sauce" which I believe is cucumber in base.
Then it gets 3 onion rings (raw), 2 tomatoes, shredded lettuce, 2 and a half ounces of beef and gyro seasoning.
I tried this one and I really like it. We used to have a gyro but it was more spicy. It had pepper-jack cheese and a jalopeno sauce on it. I liked that one more, but this new gyro is also a winner and I think it will be popular.
Next we have 2 new sandwiches on sourdough.
This first one, called a Patty Melt, is made with beef. Both pieces of bread get toasted on both sides. It has 1000 Island dressing (like our Ruban sandwiches), 1 piece of Swiss (processed, not the kind with holes), a seasoning we normally put on our Roastburgers (Chargrill seasoning), 2 and a half ounces of beef and a garlic butter/diced onion mixture, plus more 1000 Island (some on each piece).
I did not try this. I don't like 1000 Island dressing. BUT! I did try a piece of toasted sourdough, plus the garlic butter/onion mixture. THAT is very good. Of course, you can't have that, but let me tell you, the garlic butter is good.
Next we have the Chicken Melt. It is also on sourdough (toasted on both sides again). This has a parmesan ranch sauce (on both sides), 3 (raw) onion rings, shredded lettuce and 2 and a half ounces of roast chicken.
I sorta tried this. I don't normally like our roast chicken. I did try this sandwich with beef instead. I liked it, it was alright. I don't normally like our sourdough, so I'm not in love with it.
The parmesan ranch is really good. I like parmesan and I like ranch, so I like them together!
So my thoughts? I love the Gyro and will probably eat it frequently (can't beat free food!). Then I will have the Patty Melt, but changing the 1000 island sauce to the Parmesan Ranch.
And if I don't want any of those I will just toast a piece of bread and put the garlic butter on it!
Ok, so be sure to be on the look out for these new sandwiches! Of course, you may not even get them! I know of some other Arby's in other locations that haven't gotten food or special drinks that we have.
But if you like in the southern Ohio/northern Kentucky region, you will probably have these 3 new sandwiches next Monday!
Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of these new sandwiches. And let me know if you try them when you get them!
