Re: Arby's bought Wendy's?!
Wendy's is probably my favorite of the 3 major fast food burger joints...
Though that's not really saying much when you work at a sandwich shop that grants you access to a free lunch every weekday, with a menu that includes 100% fresh hamburgers I can grill up myself (with roasted green peppers, grilled onions, hot pepper relish, chipotle mayo and extra provolone cheese), in a neighborhood that also features a Five Guys... Which, despite winning numerous awards (like best burger in the DC area for 7 years) for one reason or another, is really just Fast Food and a Half if you ask me...
I get better burgers where I work... ;o

Re: Arby's bought Wendy's?!
When I eat fast food, it's either Wendy's or A&W.
I am in love with the jbc's.
I swear to god if anything changes, I'ma smack a bitch.

Re: Arby's bought Wendy's?!
We have four Arby's that I can name in the Vancouver area, one of them being in my local mall food court. They're pretty good.
Burger King is REALLY inconsistent in quality, and their food is always shit unless you find one in an upscale neighbourhood south of the border. Otherwise, my Burger King experiences have been gag-worthy. I even remember the smell of one in Hawaii on the way to the beach - the most foul-smelling odour ever.
Wendy's is usually fantastic. Hell, they were giving away free coffee yesterday. I <3 them. Plus, my girlfriend was working as assistant manager at one when I met her for the first time. Good memories.

Re: Arby's bought Wendy's?!
I have to say my favorite place to get a burger would be Vera's Burger Shack. You can't beat Vera's meat. Though I only think they are found in the Vancouver area

Re: Arby's bought Wendy's?!
Oh fuck yeah, Vera's is great. That entire business line is great, really, including St. Memphis Blues BBQ.
I think my favourite burger at Vera's is the Buffalo Chicken, which tastes exactly like a Buffalo Wing topped with Blue Cheese dressing... mmmmmm.

Wait, so you'd rather have Wendy's than Five Guys?! What the hell?!

To quote someone *cough you, cough*, "you can't compare Halo 3 and The Legend of Zelda, they're not the same type of game" so what I'm trying to say is there's not many (if any) similarities between Wendy's and Arby's besides the fact that it's fast food I suppose.

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.

It's pretty much just on the East coast in a few places I believe but here's a sample of what you get:
