FAST FOOD NEWS: Arby’s Smokehouse Turkey and Garlic Parmesan Housemade Chips

Marvo 2 Comments

Arby s Smokehouse Turkey

When Arby’s introduced their Smokehouse Brisket in 2013, they made it a point to let us know they smoked the brisket for 13 hours. The turkey in their new Smokehouse Turkey is smoked for eight hours over mesquite wood in a Texas smokehouse.

The sandwich also features an artisan-style roll, crispy onion strings, a white BBQ sauce, and smoked cheddar cheese. Arby’s doesn’t mention how long the cheese was smoked for. Oh, if you’re wondering what white BBQ sauce is, here are the ingredients: Soybean oil, Water, Apple Cider Vinegar, Horseradish, Egg Yolks, Sugar, Lemon Juice Concentrate, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Salt, Distilled Vinegar, Spices, Xanthan Gum, Mustard Flour, Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate (preservatives), Natural Smoke Flavor, Guar Gum, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Calcium Disodium

The Smokehouse Turkey has 560 calories, 28 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 75 milligrams of cholesterol, 1430 milligrams of sodium, 44 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of sugar, 2 grams of fiber, and 36 grams of protein.

Arby s Garlic Parmesan Housemade Chips

Arby’s is also offering a new flavor of their Housemade Chips — Garlic Parmesan. We reviewed the original flavor in 2013.

The Garlic Parmesan Housemade Chips have 290 calories, 14 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 370 milligrams of sodium, 36 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of sugar, 3 grams of fiber, and 4 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried either one, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

When Mountain Dew Baja Blast was available in stores the first time, it felt weird drinking it with foods other than Taco Bell. Both Mountain Dew Taco Bell flavors are also available in 20-ounce bottles. (Spotted by Andrew at Walmart.)

Besides Raspberry Brownie Supreme, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Peach Cobbler, there’s also a Dulce de Leche Delight. With these dessert inspired yogurts, one half of the container has yogurt drizzled with a sauce, while the other half has stuff to mix into the yogurt. It’s either pecan clusters (Peach Cobbler), hazelnuts and waffle crisps (Dulce de Leche Delight), graham crumbles (Strawberry Cheesecake), or brownie pieces (Raspberry Brownie Supreme).

I wonder what a Cherry Kandy Kake would taste like in a sandwich that uses a Lemon Kandy Kake and a Strawberry Kandy Kake as bread. These Spring Exclusive flavors will be available until June 12. (Spotted by Paul and Kelly at Walmart.)
