30 minute, or 1 hour lunches? That is the question. Why can't there be a 45 minute lunch? 30 minutes is too short to go grab food, eat and enjoy it and get back to work. 1 hour is too long sometimes and you sit there for the last 20 minutes of your lunch break writing Yelp reviews at work (shameless plug!)! A 45 minute lunch would solve all these problem. A man can dream! Anyways............
The other day, I had a 30 minute lunch. I decided to get in my car and drive down Bell. It was either going to be Arbys, Carls Jr or Jack in the Box (closest places I could get to and from within my 30 minutes!). I decided to stop at Arbys because I saw a sign that said "2 French Dips for $6.00". Sounded like a good deal. Went through the drive through, ordered exactly that, and was on my way.
I unwrapped these sandwiches and was happy with what I saw. The bread was fresh, slightly crusty on the outside, and soft in the middle. The sandwich had a good amount of beef on it, and the cheese was melted nicely. The key in this whole sandwich was "the dip"! They provide you with a nice sized container of au jus to dip your sandwich in. Since the bread was pretty sturdy, it absorbed all the au jus really well. I have to say, I was way more impressed with these sandwiches than I thought I would be! They were very large and filling, and tasted great! Pair that with the $6.00 price tag and it was a great value, too!
I usually pass Arbys on my way to somewhere else. I may need to change that and revisit their food and check out some of their other newer offerings more often! These sandwiches were very good!
