Maybe I’m Not thinking Arby’s
On May 19, 2012, in US NEWS,

A Michigan teen found a finger tip in an Arby’s roast beef sandwich after he spit out a bite that he said was rubbery and hard to chew.

Ryan Hart, 14, said he ordered the sandwich last Friday at the drive-thru window of at a Jackson, Mich., Arby’s franchise.

“I was like, ‘That [has] to be a finger.’ I was about to puke. … It was just nasty,” Ryan told the Jackson Citizen Patriot.

An employee lost approximately one inch of her finger while operating a meat slicer. She left her station and did not immediately alert her co-workers, the Associated Press reported.

Employees continued to fill orders until they were made aware of the fleshy find.

“Upon learning of the incident, the franchisee’s restaurant team shut down food production and thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the restaurant. The franchisee fully cooperated with the local Health Department, and the restaurant was given the approval to remain open,” said John Gray, vice president of communications at Arby’s, in a statement.

Gray said Arby’s is investigating the event and has been in touch with its 66,000 employees to reinforce safety protocols.

Just one more reason to stay away from Fast Food Joints.

I've pretty much lost my desire for fast food - I have it maybe once a month.

I never did care for Arby's. That's not real roast beef - it's beef scraps processed and held together with "meat glue."

And why do you think the call it "horsey sauce?"

For sure I'm staying away from Fast Food Joints.

They're also getting pretty expensive. I went to Captain D's a couple of weeks ago, and my meal (with drink) was over $10. For a few dollars more I could have a nice lunch at Red Lobster, including all the cheddar biscuits I want, be served, have my drink refilled for me, and not have to carry away my own dirty tray/dishes.

I do like Long John Silver's - but can't have it often, as it's so bad for you. Once in a while I get a Krystal craving (it's like White Castle), and I've developed a taste for Taco Bell's cheesy potato burrito...but that's pretty much it. Subway doesn't excite me - it's just a sandwich, big deal. We recently got a Panda Express, but I wasn't impressed....for what I paid for a mediocre meal, I could go to the local Chinese take-out and get enough very good food for three meals. I used to like Wendy's salads, but the last one I had was awful (all iceberg lettuce) and when I complained to corporate, got no response...so I never went back.

Five Guys has excellent burgers, but a burger and fries is over $10...ridiculous! You can get the same thing at Steak & Shake for $3.99.

I used to have fast food more often, but I'd rather have one really good meal at The Outback or Olive Garden or Ruby Tuesday's than 2-3 "meh" meals at a fast food place, so that's what I now do.

Do you have a Red Robin by you? I LOVE our Red Robin! Their burgers are excellent (actually everything is excellent...crabcake sandwiches, soups ect.) and they have a wonderful wait staff. And the price is pretty reasonable too.

One opened about a year ago - I have yet to go there, but have been meaning to.

Ruby Tuesday is nice - they have a FB page where they offer a coupon every month or so. Sometimes BOGO, sometimes 25% off your entire meal.

I like Red Lobster, Famous Dave's, Perkins, Olive Garden, Qdoba and a few other places. I'm not a fan of fast food...but sometimes it is just convenient. Qdoba is very good IMO, it's just burritos, but they are very fast and still taste like good cooking rather than grease filled garbage. Wendy's salads kind of went the way of the doe-doe bird when they started putting warm chicken on the salads.....SALADS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COLD IDIOTS.

I am all over the soup lines
Cheddar's is a good one....Red Robin is great also just none with in an hour of me so I have not been there is while
