They Have the Meats

WXYZ-

Arby’s offering venison sandwiches through November.

Sandwich made with deer meat will be in 6 states – Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Wisconsin.

The Arby’s venison sandwich will feature venison steak, crispy onions and a juniper berry sauce on a toasted roll.

The unique offering makes perfect sense to Arby’s Brand President Rob Lynch. “Hunters hunt the meats, and we have the meats, so it makes sense for us to connect with them and offer a sandwich that they can’t get at any other restaurant chain,” Lynch said in a press release.

Funny how life works. I was just talking to Miska Simpson last night and learned that in some countries, particularly in the southern hemisphere, all game meat is called venison, not just deer meat.

  1. The commercial from a few days ago is classic. It was on Youtube for a few days but then taken down (wonder why?). It’s still here but maybe not for long.

    Script:
    “If you think about it, the woods is really just a big salad. And like any salad, you grab a rifle and rummage through all the foliage and green stuff in the search for meat. It’s meats season at Arby’s.”

  2. I love deer meat. Never had moose. If moose is as half as delicious as doe, I definitely would love to try it. I wonder how Arby’s is intending to get it’s hands on enough deer fill these sandwich orders.

  3. It actually sounds like it might be a decent meal:
    “will be made with free-range farmed deer that feed on fresh grass with with premium cut top and bottom round steaks from the hind quarter. ” – dailymail

    And I just talked to my son — he’s bringing the deer meat Friday. 🙂

  4. @MJA, a lot of the taste depends on how you prepare it and how it is cared for and processed. It’s usually a little sweeter than beef and it’s leaner than beef. Try it in a burger some time. After eating deer burgers, beef hamburgers won’t taste as good.

    Some people have to try it a few times to get used to it.

    Deer jerky is great too. Everybody ate deer back before fast food.

  5. “Venison” use to refer to any mammal killed when hunting. Deer, being the more popular game animal, took on the main use of the word now.

    @Jethro, I always like to hear about your deer hunting. Kudos.
