If its done right, there is nothing much better than a good French Dip sandwich with au jus.
This big scruffy dirt bag is enough to make me want to avoid Arby's at all cost...Angry

I to this day wonder what made Arbys choose Bo Dietl as a spokesman. Don't get me wrong, I respect his work as a detective and what he's done charity wise, but he seems such a random choice for Arbys...I mean did someone just wake up one day and think "Hey, let's get Bo Dietl to promote our food!"?

I can never understand what he says at the end. I think he's saying "It's a much tastier situation" but it comes off as sound "It gonna be a muchatasta situation" followed by the cut in laughter which was filmed separately because what he said wasn't funny when he said it.

It's still just a big hunk of processed beef sitting in a warming oven for 12-13 hours.

Real brisket is a beef shoulder cut, rubbed with spices, cooked on wood smoke for 8-10 hours. They cook the beef until it's falling off the bone. You certainly couldn't slice it thin with a machine, you have to pull it apart or slice it by hand.

I hate how Arby's (or in Dietl speak, AUHbeez) is trying to act like they have quality ingredients. The whole sliced in store and smoked 16 hours or whatever bugs the sh*t out of me. Like, it's STILL hunks of processed meat coming into the store from a distribution center! It's not like they smoke it in store, which is what they want idiots watching it to believe, it's smoked in some huge warehouse smoke locker somewhere before being dropped on the floor, wrapped in plastic, and shipped out to AUHBEEZ everywhere.

Also Dietl needs a shave, ugh that stubble is awful.
It's ok, I'm in marketing!

Dietl really bugs me - reminds me of the 'over-excited-dog-humping-your-leg' kind of person who unintentionally spits while talking, being in your face the whole while.
Thinlk he wants some tongue.

Being a BBQ pit master I couldn't let this go.

1. I am sure that "brisket" at Arbys is a big hunk of processed meat. That I'm sure tastes like crap and gives real BBQ a bad name.

2. Brisket is not a cut of the shoulder, pulled pork (boston butt/picnic shoulder) is a shoulder cut of the hog. Brisket is the chest muscle of the steer, two briskets per steer. The reason it is so tough is that it is used constantly as the cow walks, thus requiring long cooking time to break down the meat fibers and tenderize it.

3. Brisket is not cooked until it is fall of the bone tender because a) it has no bone and b) you don't want a brisket to fall apart. You need it to cook just right so you can slice the flat so it stays together when you slice it. It's very difficult to get that part right. I usually smoke  a whole brisket for 14-16 hours and then cut off the point and throw that on for another 2-4 hours to make burnt ends.

4. With Pulled Pork it is desirable to cook it to the point where it falls apart.

5. The shoulder cut from beef called  Beef Shoulder Clod is sublime and I like it even more that brisket when BBQ'd properly.
