They don&#8217;t inundate me with weird Burger King ads from advertising superpower Crispin Porter + Bogusky or McDonald&#8217;s commercials that make it seem cool to eat saturated fat and sodium.  But every so often Arby&#8217;s comes up with a product that slaps me across the face and jogs my memory of them.  Their new Bacon Cheddar Roastburger was the hand that bitchslapped some recollection into me.   <\/p>\n<p>The Bacon Cheddar Roastburger is made up of thinly sliced, oven roasted beef, pepper bacon, a slice of cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions in between a special roll.  I&#8217;m not too sure what&#8217;s so special about the roll, but it might be that fact that it contains trans fat, as you can see in the image below.<\/p>\n<p>Something else that&#8217;s disturbing about the Arby&#8217;s Bacon Cheddar Roastburger is the use of &#8220;chargrilled seasoning,&#8221; which you can see in the image above.  I think it should get a chargrilled flavor from chargrilling, but apparently there&#8217;s an easier way to get it.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy Arby&#8217;s Beef &#8216;n Cheddar and the Bacon Cheddar Roastburger is basically a Beef &#8216;n Cheddar with vegetables, bacon, a higher price and, according to my computer&#8217;s spellcheck, a made up compound word.  Unfortunately I don&#8217;t think it comes close to tasting as delicious as a Beef &#8216;n Cheddar.  It was a decent size and had an ample amount of roasted beef, but it was bland and dry.  <\/p>\n<p>It didn&#8217;t come with a sauce, so I guess it depended on that chargrilled seasoning for flavor.  Thank Buddha for Arby and Horsey Sauces, which made finishing the Arby&#8217;s Bacon Cheddar Roastburger much easier.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 burger &#8211; 442 calories, 18 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 1 grams of trans fat, 57 milligrams of cholesterol, 1427 milligrams of sodium, 44 grams of carbs, 1 gram of dietary fiber, 6 grams of sugar and 23 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Arby&#8217;s Bacon Cheddar Roastburger<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $6.97 (combo meal)<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  Regular meal<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Arby&#8217;s<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  5 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Decent sized burger.
