R. Rich Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Last time I went to a Roy Roger's, they used the real thing. I loved their fried chicken. When I worked @ McDonald's years ago, I would walk over to Roy's for lunch. Is Roy Rogers even still in business? I thought they were all closed. There used to be one 'bout half an hour from me, but now it's become..............an Arby's. Yuck!
The Dean Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Long Ago in a Galaxy far away, Arby's used beef as it came off the cow, instead from an homogenizer. My guess is, is that Arby's contains an amount of hydrolyzed animal protein for flavor enhancement. HAP, as it's known in the food biz, is obtained by chemically treating bones and cuts like lips, eyelids, nostrils, etc. to extract the protein. Bon apetit. Last time I went to a Roy Roger's, they used the real thing. I examined a piece or two of Arby's beef recently, and it looks to be a pressed "loaf" and not a true roast.

There's one in Clermont County here. That's east of Hamilton County (Cincinnati). Haven't been there for 7 or 8 years - perhaps they just paid for the rights to use the name.

Looks like Roy Rogers has gone the way of the Red Barn, another place w/ food I really liked that went out of business.

R. Rich Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 http://www.royrogersrestaurants.com/ Thanks, Deano. There's actually one that opened up in Westminster MD, which is where we used to live before moving to Hell (Baltimore). I may have to make the half hour or so trip up there.

Bmwolf21 Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 When they first started, I think they actually used roast beef. The crap is inedible now. A guy I work with calls Arby's beef "monkey meat." I think he might be on to something...
Jerry Jabber Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Come on Joseph, admit it. You know it's true. Italian seasoned roast beef w/ a little mustard on wheat bread is pretty tasty. I went to Schwabl's in West Seneca for roast beef on Saturday, their roast beef is great.
