Arby's bought Wendy's?!

A case can be made that they are beginning to cross over in their offerings, given that they've both branched off from their staples (burgers, roast beef sandwiches) into more general deli meat products, and in that regard, I think Arby's handily bests Wendy's. The Arby's deli sandwiches are quite good for fast food fare. Wendy's not so much.

But I wasn't thinking in terms of the actual foodstuffs (burgers > fries, or vice-versa) in my assessment, as much as general food quality, customer service, and restaurant cleanliness. I've never had a bad sandwich from Arby's, but I've had a number of less-than-stellar Wendy's burgers. Ditto on having experienced some dirty, dirty Wendy's establishments on road trips. I may have been very lucky, but I haven't been to a 'bad' Arby's.

If Arby's management trickles down and results in a more consistent and quality experience at Wendy's, I think that's great.

And to the guy who favors Wendy's over Five Guys: I said wow.
