Arby's recipes: the anti burger sandwhich and more

Known for its roast beef, like many others I have been to Arby's for a little bite. But for some reason, I can't quite get it out of my mind that the roast beef should not be pink but but have a "light shade of brown" like regular roast beef. Am I wrong?

Once in a while I like to pop into Arby's location for their fabulous Jamoca shakes, especially when there is a coupon. They are very creamy, chocolaty and almost as good as Wendy's. (They are not quite as creamy thick and have a little different consistency). I wish they had a $1 menu. Well they sort of do but you can pick from a wide array 5 for $5. But when I just interested in one this what I get for $1. I have eaten the salads once and they are not bad.

The curly fries are "to die for" and have just right crispness. I also love the sauces like horsey sauce (horseradish sauce) which is not too hot but gives a sandwich a mild extra zing of heat. But the 3 pepper sauce is to die for an is very, very addictive for me. This three pepper sauce which is absolutely awesome and is a good blend of different peppers, heat, flavor and goes well along on a sandwich , with fries etc (I wish they would bottle it as I would buy it!). That reminds me maybe I can find a recipe for it. But before that, I found an interesting article on horseradish and more at ( under culinary uses)

Panera Bread- I love the bagels but the rest of the food escapes me

Panera came to town several years and spread around the city. I'm not into chains but I do love a bagel as much as anyone. I love buying the bagels here to bring home or nosh on. I really absolutely love the Asiago bagels (even though this kind has a very high fat and calorie content). I loved taking them home and make a tomatol, lettuce and possibly tuna fish sandwich - but I digress. There are many other good types that are very good. But as for buying a sandwich or a combo it's just not my type of restaurant. I want something special when I pay cash and I want something different to eat then the normal. I possibly tried one of the soup bread bowls once but can't for the life of me remember what I ate inside it. I love the bagels. Those I can remember. Its the rest of the food that my memory has escaped me.

Tasty subs and much more at Mike's

We have eaten at all the sub places in the city. I am more "into" the subs with the "double meat " portions or the meatballs otherwise you are mostly getting bread and some veggies and not much more. We don't go for subs often but I usually go when there are coupons. There are quite a range of prices for the different subs so it takes a little while to make up your mind (at least mine). This place has more then subs (pizza, salads, cold subs, wraps and more). The Grilled Pastrami Reuben sub caught my eye as I was in the mood for pastrami. This was a great choice. This "regular" sized sub ($6.25) is more then the other chains who are promoting their foot long sub specials. The taste of this one was exceptional. I usually don't like sauerkraut with pastrami but it "melded" way with the thousand island dressing.I wonder whether the other ones are just as good? I'll probably come back and try sometime soon.

Good steaks hefty price

I looked at the menu recently and it did not seen what I was looking for: a good meal at reasonable prices. I felt most of the entrees were too pricey. But when I had a chance to get a free steak at a meeting, I took it. The big steak (which cost $17 or so if you paid for it ) was very good , juicy and had great flavor. It was quite large so I brough some of it home and my wife thought it was good. While it is good, I won't pay my money for a steak that expensive although I know people do. If there is 2:1 or a special I might though
