<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After venison sandwiches, the monstrous Meat Mountain, and a mustard-slathered Cuban, I suppose the old Athenian route was one of the few remaining avenues left for Arby\u2019s to explore. <\/p>\n
Enter the Gyro Loaded Curly Fries, a limited-time-only companion piece to Arby\u2019s armada of Greek-themed seasonal items such as the Greek Gyro Salad and the, uh, just plain old Gyro.<\/p>\n
Arby\u2019s proprietary Curly Fries, I suppose, need no introduction. We all know how fantastic they are. This newfangled edition ups the ante with a nice mixture of traditional gyro ingredients, including Tzatziki sauce, red onions, diced tomatoes and, of course, a heaping helping of gyro meat (which, in this instance, is a combination of beef and lamb.) <\/p>\n
Two things make this dish stand out. First, the spices are really good. Of course, since I don\u2019t work there I have no idea what the local Arby\u2019s is putting in these things, but my well-traveled taste buds picked up all sorts of flavors that are more than atypical for a fast food haunt, including what appears<\/em> to be cumin and coriander. For something you can pick up via a drive-thru window, this thing tastes astonishingly<\/em> comparable to \u201creal\u201d Greek cuisine. <\/p>\n Secondly, the Tzatziki sauce is outstanding<\/em>. My big fear was that it would be either too weak and watery or too thick and overpowering, but give the meat maestros at Arby\u2019s some credit, they came pretty darn close to striking a nearly perfect balance on this one. It\u2019s extremely unlikely, but I\u2019d love to see this delicious yogurt become a permanent addition to the sauce bar. <\/p>\n Your mileage will vary on the quality of the meat. The slivers are a little chewier than you\u2019d expect, and the very well<\/em> seasoned exterior might be a turn off to those of you with blander appetites. I guess my biggest gripe is that the chunks of gyro meat are just too small and too few and far in-between the fries. Really, you\u2019d need to get a double order of meat for the meat-to-fries ratio to come out even, so do keep that in mind before you flip open your wallet.<\/p>\n The tomatoes and red onions are kind of an afterthought. The former are so small and inconsequential that you barely taste them and the latter are probably a wee bit too big<\/em> and overpowering compared to the rest of the dish. Simply put, the fries and the onions just don\u2019t gel at all in terms of taste and mouthfeel, no matter how much sauce you add into the mix. I\u2019d recommend skipping the onions altogether, but hey – that\u2019s just my personal preference.<\/p>\n On the whole, this is a much better than anticipated side item. It\u2019s filling and feels fresh. Of course, it\u2019s not for all tastes, but as long as you\u2019ve got a penchant for spicier offerings, you\u2019ll probably get a kick out of these specially dressed Curly Fries.<\/p>\n (Nutrition Facts – 820 calories, 530 calories from fat, 49 grams of total fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 55 milligrams of cholesterol, 1,650 milligrams of sodium, 57 grams of total carbohydrates, 6 grams of dietary fiber, 3 grams of sugars, and 14 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.99 After venison sandwiches, the monstrous Meat Mountain, and a mustard-slathered Cuban, I suppose the old Athenian route was one of the few remaining avenues left for Arby\u2019s to explore.
