I remember how Chili’s used to be really cool little chain until whats-his-name bought them. Brinker. When they put photographs of the food on the menu and laminate it heavily, you need to start looking for another place to take your date.

Hopefully the food quality of Wendy’s won’t drop to that of Arby’s.

Triarc said it will also change its name to include the Wendy's name.

Andy's?

Arby's has some damn good roast beef sandwiches, almost as good as what USED to be served at the now dead and buried Roy Rogers Roast Beef Sandwich Restaurants

I love Arby's. It's the only fast food type "restaurant" I'll buy anything from.

Not that any fast "food" is quality food, but Arby's has vastly improved its quality from the time of rubber "roast beef" on a bun. I stopped for the first time in about 15 years at an Arby's within the last year and was pleasantly surprised.

“sold its money-losing Baja Fresh Mexican Grill.”

In NC, Baja tried to do the fast food concept in the most high-rent parts of town without a drive-through.

I do miss their fish tacos.

I get hungry reading about this stuff. As a Wendy's stockholder for over ten years I love the smell of beef, and Arby’s has the real McCoy.

Meanwhile I'd like to give the finger to a certain extortionist and her “willing accomplices in the media.”

headline is pitiful. How about, “Arby’s has Wendy’s in the Bag,” or “Arby and Wendy tie the knot” or some such.

I agree. That's what I always get, with curly fries. They also have a kick ass chocolate milkshake, and I don't even like chocolate all that much.

Well then, I guess all that remains for the rest of us to do is to hang a one-eighty and get in step with you.
