Arby-Q back for limited time, 99 cents

Sep 07, 2008

FAST FOOD ALERT: Arby's has just brought back the Arby-Q Sandwich, starting now until October 5th, and it's only 99 cents. It's Arby's thin sliced roast beef, smothered in barbecue sauce on a sesame bun. Nothing fancy, but it's a great little sandwich. Simple, filling and cheap. I've eaten enough of these in my time to say their very satisfying weekend munchies, and at this price you can grab a whole bagful and feed your entire posse for less than 10 bucks. For Arby's this would be the equivalent of when McDonald's brings back the McRib. It's a limited time opportunity that should not be missed for those die-hard fans of the sandwich, and a worthy trip for Arby's newbies to try this simple, classic, fast food favorite bargain. They won't knock your socks off, but it's real beef, tasty BBQ sauce, a decent roll, and a couple of these will keep your stomach, and your wallet, happy.

LA's fast-food ban draws skepticism

Sep 03, 2008

By Lisa Baertlein and Dan Whitcomb

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A ban on new fast-food restaurants in poor Los Angeles neighborhoods has made headlines around the world, but residents say they don't plan to give up their cheeseburgers, fried chicken and tacos anytime soon.

The moratorium, which was passed in July, was intended to fight obesity in low-income communities of America's second-largest city where healthy food is hard to find.

The move is trend-setting California's latest salvo in an expanding war on the fast-food industry, which is bracing for copycat maneuvers around the United States that could threaten growth.
