And the horsey-drenched souls there have unleashed the massive monster that is the Arbynator.<\/p>\n<p>Composed of everything in a typical Arby\u2019s combo meal &#8211; roast beef sandwich, curly fries, and cheddar cheese sauce &#8211; along with just about every sauce available over the counter including Arby\u2019s sauce and Horsey sauce, this mammoth pile of meat is a two-handed mankiller sent from the bleak future to our bleaker present to destroy our collective hungers, if only for one solitary day. No fate.<\/p>\n<p>Available in three aggrandizing sizes &#8211; the Classic, the Double, and the Lord-have-mercy Half-Pound &#8211; I stuck with the relatively responsible Classic variation for this outing. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Arbys-Arbynator-2.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Arby's Arbynator 2\" title=\"Arby's Arbynator 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Even though the sesame seed bun was mostly flattened, it pretty much did look like the promotional picture, with the scads of roast beef lazily flopping out as the hot cheese dripped down its side, mixing deliciously with the other assorted sauces. The fries, however, were tucked away like a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Just as immodestly thick as the pile of roast beef is, when you hit the curly fries, the sheer amount of them on the Arbynator seem a little bigger than a handful. The twirling tubers are a welcomed treat to crunch into as you began your dank voyage into this dangerous sandwich. The fries and roast beef are a delightful combination that kids have been doing for years much to their mother\u2019s chagrin. The mixture of tart sauces pays off nicely with lip-puckering goodness.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Arbys-Arbynator-3.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Arby's Arbynator 3\" title=\"Arby's Arbynator 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If the sandwich has any flaw, it\u2019s probably that it has far too much meat for one sitting, even in its Classic portion. There\u2019s no way an Average Joe will down the Arbynator during his lunch hour, head back to the office, and not put his head down for a long winter\u2019s nap. It\u2019s too darn much.<\/p>\n<p>Layer after layer of roast beef and stack after stack of curly fries and glug after glug of cheese sauce might sound like a great thing on paper, but when it\u2019s right in front of you, daring you to devour it, this is where the decisions that follow us around for the rest of our lives are made. <\/p>\n<p>So, I guess if I\u2019m saying anything, have half for lunch and eat the other half on your way home from work.
