I don’t have the heart (literally) to tell DocChuck that at the factory I was, uh, born at in China also manufactures the “roast beef” for the Aby’s sandwiches he proclaims his love for above. Thin sheets of roast-beef patterned plastic and laminating materials are gracefully interwined with beef waste and recycled toilet tissue by Chairman-Mao era machines (on occasion, a worker’s limb is torn free by this antiquated machinery, and they cut down on the beef waste for that single production run, if such things are of interest to you) by the talented workers of the People’s Republic.

The wendys in the rock center concourse area has started selling Arby’s roast beef sandwiches as of last friday, where have you guys been?

There is nothing as intoxicating as a woman in a caftan.

Except, perhaps, an Arby’s bacon, beef and cheddar sandwich, piled high and drenched with their delicious BBQ sauce.

Zach – your roots are showing! Only someone who grew up in Miami would make casual use of the phrase “on crack.”

Also, in the absence of Arby’s, does anyone have any recommendations for a good place for seasoned curly fries?

RE: To the emailer: Was this the girl you saw?
Hmmm, Not Sure. I was more fixated on the colorful ingredients of the cup and then fixated on said out-of-place cup than the girl. Since Midtown Lunch Overlord Zach is a friend of mine I know he considers this pretty pathetic on my part. If I was forced to answer I’d say no, but both girls damn cute!

DocChuck misses this place. Instead of a jamoca shake, he always enjoyed getting them to fill a cup with the processed “cheese product” used on the beef-n-cheddar sandwich, and drink that with a thick straw instead. He has also told me that his blow-up doll (he has named her Elizabeth, but more frequently calls her ‘mommy’ in a faux child-like voice, if such things fascinate you) likes their curly fries dipped in their horsey sauce, although she is a messy eater

Yep. Looks like the Arby’s franchise manager liquidated his stockpiled cups with the Arby’s logo and the smoothie guy snapped up a bargain!

IT’S NOT ARBY’S. It’s the fruit stand on 50th b/w 6th and 7th aves. I got a smoothie the other day (hey, coulda been me walking by) and they serve them in a plastic Arby’s cup. My coworker freaked cause she thought Arby’s was back in full effect. Sadly, it was just a bangin $3 tropical shake.

I think the emailer may have mistaken one of those new Frutista Freezes from Taco Bell as something from Arby’s…
