Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
With fall in the air and Thanksgiving lurking around the corner, Arby's, our favorite purveyor of probably-roast-beef sandwiches, is introducing three new "hot turkey roasters" sandwiches, and will be offering freebies today -- no coupons or Facebook-liking needed. Arby's will celebrate the launch of the new sandwich line by offering anyone who visits an Arby's between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. today one free turkey roaster sandwich.
There are three sandwiches to choose from: the grand turkey club with sliced, roast turkey, melted Swiss cheese, pepper bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo on a toasted harvest wheat bun; the roast turkey 'n cheddar with thinly sliced, oven-roasted turkey topped with cheddar cheese and Arby's signature red ranch sauce on a toasted onion roll; and the roast turkey classic: turkey on a toasted sesame seed bun. (That last sandwich may need some Horsey sauce, since there is only turkey and bun to it.)
Although I find Arby's signature roast beef to be of strange texture, consistency and flavor, I am genuinely hoping that it can get turkey right. After all, the turkeys already did almost all of the work toward making their flesh moist, delicious and human mouth-ready. But since free food automatically tastes better than the kind you have to pay for, no reason not to get more than your money's worth at an Arby's today.
