Celebrity chef and food expert Alton Brown has weighed in on the fast food scene, surprising fans by naming Arby’s as his go-to chain. Despite having cut down on fast food consumption, Brown admits he’d be drawn to Arby’s if his cravings ever return.
Brown, known for his love of fried chicken, is a fan of Arby’s roast beef sandwiches, which he calls “freaking magical.” His enthusiasm for the chain goes beyond nostalgia; he recalls a recent visit where the taste was eerily similar to what he remembered from childhood. In contrast, other fast food joints, such as McDonald’s, have lost their flavor due to an increased reliance on sugar.
Brown’s fondness for Arby’s doesn’t mean he’ll be ditching his healthy diet anytime soon. He’s maintained that his views on health and nutrition are a significant reason for avoiding fast food altogether. However, it seems Arby’s has earned a special exception in Brown’s book. With only eight U.S. states offering In-N-Out burgers, which was also once one of Brown’s favorite chains, it’s unlikely he’ll be able to indulge soon.
