Venison does have its unique properties, but that's typically a bit more lost with farm-raised specimens. Having eaten a fair bit of venison, it's really not too different from beef in general, but it's very lean.
This one was strange for me. First of all, I love venison, and elk even more so. I tried this burger on the release day, and truly enjoyed it. I could actually taste the flavors I was familiar with - definitely surpassing the beef - and I left feeling like it was the best burger I had ever had at a fast food restaurant. But, a couple days later I stopped at a different Arby's to grab one. That experience was far different from my first. Their burger was more dry, lacking the flavor of the other I'd had, way more "gamey," and it was extremely firm. It was just okay, but basically lackluster overall. So, based on those two experiences, either some Arby's prepare their food better than others, or the meat quality is completely inconsistent. I really don't know. If you try it, hopefully you'll get a good one.
I saw it on the menu, but didn't get it. A month later, it was gone! Not "sold out", just not offered. I've never seen a menu item come and go that quickly. Does that mean it was really good, or really bad?

I think Arby's, on purpose, making the Big Game burger not too gamey, if it's the right word. Of course, the elk and venison meat is from farm raised animals, so it would be different than meat from wild animals.
Impeccable grooming and attire plus articulate insightful reviews. There is nothing not to appreciate about this channel. It's becoming my first favorite. I love the sound of his voice. Soothing but matter of fact. Bravo 😊
Being an outdoorsman that eats venison a few times every week, I crack up when I see something like this burger. If I am eating a venison burger, it is 90/10 , 10% being cheap beef hamburger. I don't eat any fast food ,but I enjoy watching your reviews. As for the radio antenna description you gave, you are 110 % correct 🤣
On the sticker, it says 34% venison, 33% elk, and 33% beef. And, yes, it's not going to taste like what you would get from wild deer and elk as these are farm-raised and eat different food than wild animals.
This is why we often mix beef with our elk and deer meat when making burger. It takes some of the gamey flavor out. They gameyness of each animal and each cut is different in wild game. Some blends need more beef than others.
Farm raised deer/elk is probably milder. Around here the deer eat a lot of corn and it honestly isn't that much different from beef, but if you get a deer up in the mountains that's been living off of trees and dead leaves it's going to taste different.
No doubt. I've had some venison that just tasted unpleasantly like corn stubble and dry leaves. Usually a late season deer. Considering the guy who hunted it, it was probably poached. Some tasted like beef liver.
@@2fuzydepends what the antelope were eating if they live in sagebrush they will have a off flavor but if they on grass plains they are petty close to venison in my opinion
@@slipnsldnaway the mule deer were far more edible then the antalope that came off the same ranch I spent most of my life on and I'm sure that none of them were as good as a grain fed white tail but elk is my favorite
I tried this last week and yeah, the sauce is pretty strong. I did enjoy the meat, reminded me of reindeer sausage I had in Alaska, but that sauce was a bit much.
The game meat for this burger is most likely farm raised. The food which is fed to farm raised game is much different than what the animals would eat in the wild, that is why the meat doesn't have a game taste to it.
When I heard of The Big Game burger, game meat instantly came to mind. I've had proper venison before, and I'm not a huge fan of it, but I'm curious how it would be along with elk and beef in a burger. I might yet try this.
They have even more of the meats now. They can’t be stopped. Arby’s is the GOAT. Never in history has a fast food chain been so incredibly stable. Whether you went to Arby’s in 1988 or 2023 you get exactly what you wanted. A beef sandwich done the Arby’s way proper. No doubt in my mind.
@@SomethingFunny454 no, you can buy it, from licensed producers. Often its not wild big game, its farm raised big game. But its still "big game" aka the meat from big game animals. Whole cooking shows and restaurants are made around big and small game dishes
Gamey is a relative term. For example, when beef was first introduced to east asian cultures where it was not common, they described it as gamey. To this day many recipes from that part of the world blanch beef to remove the "gamey" flavor. Also the cut of venison or elk is very important because the gaminess comes from the fat. If Arby's uses the loin for their blend, that part is the least gamey. That would also explain the high cost because loin is where the filet mignon comes from and is expensive.
If gamey is a relative term, how would there be a baseline to say what East Asian peoples would use to ascribe those qualities to beef? Also Oxen and other cattle are native to East Asia. They have eaten "beef" for centuries more than they didn't for religious purposes (Buddhists don't eat beef). So they were not "introduced to beef"
The Big game Burger sounds tasty , I myself also thought big game Burger was about American Football 🏈… I Am in the boring uk and we don’t have an Arbys near me and I have to eat gluten free food now .. I watch ReviewBrah doing his awesome reviews to see our well dressed Gentleman .. ReviewBrah being his Elegant best
We don't need an Arby's in the UK. You can buy some organic mince and make your own burger at home with gluten free burger baps. It will take you 5 mins to make and fry a patty or cheeseburger. With an air fryer, you can have French fries too, the whole meal taking less than 10 mins.
I think we're on a completely different wavelength on this Burger.. It is, without a doubt, the BEST burger I've had from a fast food establishment (from the past year) with a distinctive taste.
The worst thing I've put in my face hole in a long time. It was so dense and over cooked, It hurt my jaw just chewing it. It had way too much sauce, and even the bun dense and heavy.
I would posit that most people have no familiarity with gamey big game like elk and venison, so they are used to fattier, less dense meat. In the case of Arby's, since they have to mass produce the burgers, it also has beef added for the fat content, since elk and venison are both very lean, even when farmed like their product almost certainly has to be. Some people complain about the price, but if they were to try this at a local gourmet like Bonnell's or Tim Love's Texas gourmet places, they'd have to cough up $30-50 for the same thing; same thing for wild boar, rabbit, rattlesnake, or other exotics. I'm looking forward to trying it.
I’d agree. I just finished eating one. Over the last 50yrs I’ve had my share of wild game meat. People would be surprised how off putting straight up game meat ground up and cooked like a burger. Low fat content they typically wind up like a hockey puck. Typically I blend my game meat with pork or 70/30 high fat beef. Looking at the patty it’s got some density but still stays juicy and nice char on the outside. I would expect very similar at a sit down restaurant but expect it to cost 1/3 more. I’ll eat it again.
Mixing the venison and elk with beef probably cuts down on the gamey taste that deer and elk can have. My dad tricked my grandma (his mom) into eating deer meat by grinding it up and mixing it with beef.
This may have been pointed out, I didn't read all the comments; My guy, the Arby's logo is supposed to be a cowboy hat, not a top hat. This particular brand altering for the big game burger is antlers on the hat, that isn't an antenna. That being said, this is just me trying to help out the fast food review G.O A T. carry on review Brah. Love you love your show.
Review Brah is the master troll. He kept saying "genetic" instead of "generic" just to test us. Also, the quip about the "antenna" coming out of the Arby's logo that were antlers. Genius.

@@truecrimenwine489That’s not how he pronounces his “r”s. Been watching him for years, and you’d know that too if you watched more than two videos, but here you are trying to come across as someone who knows better than everyone. 😂
As somebody that lived with family in Georgia that had a freezer full of venison meat and venison burger, if you source the venison from somewhere like Georgia with tons of wild greenery and not deer from alpine/mountainous areas you'll find it comes across like lean beef (at least in burger form) and is not very gamey at all.
I’ve had a bison burger that was 100% bison meat and it was indistinguishable from beef. You’d be surprised how many meats taste similar. It probably has to do with the diet of the animal
I had a Bison burger once on vacation once in Utah. It was a very lean burger. It was a nice change of pace but I think I will stay with a regular beef burger. But I'll give this burger a try just to give it a try.
We actually prefer bison to beef for a lot of things. It seems to have a richer "beefier" flavor if that makes sense. But it is very lean, so it doesn't make a good burger straight. Needs some beef fat to moisten it up.
Feels like this would be better with standard burger toppings versus steak sauce and breaded onions which I've never understood the appeal of on burgers. If you want to use steak sauce mix it into the meat before you cook it, that allows for a chemical change to occur and just overall better use of adding sauce to burgers. Same with the onions. Add these to the meat versus just pulling it on as an after thought
I'd still be really skeptical because venison and elk are both really easy to overcook and it can be like chewing on a hockey puck if it's too bad So I would imagine if they don't make it fresh and keep them pre-made in a warming dish they're going to be really rubbery
They make them fresh and you have to wait. Usually ask me to pull forward if cars are behind me. I’ve had it 3x now. Ask for extra cheese. I also got tomato on mine.

great review as always. i would be more than willing to bet that the proportions of the "meats" would be about 1% venison, 1% elk and 98% beef just so they could use the "Big Game" gimmick. either way i will try it because i think it looks pretty tasty!!
Thank you 😊 I don’t indulge in fast food very often, mostly bc the cost of things. I’d rather buy 3 potatoes or bell peppers than 1 burger ya know - but my point is I really appreciate your videos, it’s silly but it kind of scratches that itch!
What are the costs of your produce? I can make a 1/3 lb+ burger made fresh with a good hard roll, tomato, cheese, onion, and and maybe one green ingredient for about $1.50. Peppers and potatoes prices haven't been great, here, and both can be grown in-state.
@@Euripides_Panz admittedly I live in a state with OK produce production - $3 for 3 potatoes or 2 red bells. But I know for sure if I wanna make a burger at home it’s costing at least $12
WEF: "We should eat more bugs to save the environment." Arby's: (Releases elk+venison+beef burger) WEF: why is our idea not selling? Is it the bug part?
My favorite local fast food is Arby's and Wendy's though. 9 times out of 10 it's super fresh and well prepared. I like the Arbys Gyros and Curly Fries!!!
Apparently the meat is sous vide to 90%, then they finish it in store (I assume on flattop) As for the flavor, they claim it's 33/33/33. I've always heard farm raised game meat isn't as strong as wild game meat... and I'm sure Arby's is buying farmed game.
I work at Arbys we don't have a grill. They come in a pack, we separate the patties, put it in a pan and throw them in the fryer to order and finish it in the microwave. Its kinda gross. Nothing at Arbys requires a grill and the burger is only a limited time so there's no point in having a grill. So it gets fried and microwave. Bon appetit.
I have heard (unverified) that some large animals may have an anatomical features, called antlers, which, if the descriptions on the internet are correct, could possibly resemble the short-wave antenna on the Arby's Hat Logo. Any info on this would be appreciated. Excellent review - Awesome content - As always!
I appreciate how thick the patty is. In my head that’s how all burgers should be. But I always have to order a double anytime I buy a burger cause non of them are to my standard so I might have to give this burger a try just for the size of the patty
@@CMHC I don’t. My first experience with smash burger was at fort bliss. Good burger but my patty was smashed. I didn’t like that. Then a friend took me to some place called Freddy’s and they also smash the patty down and they smashed it worse then smash burger. That mess was so freaking thin. I couldn’t take it lmao
@HENDO24 I totally agree!!!!! 😂😂😂. I don't understand how people enjoy a smashed burger...literally....smashed lol. The biggest turn off for me is the crispy edges... I don't want a hamburger crispy! I want it thick, jucy, & flavorful. A crispy smashed burger I just can't do 😂.
I can appreciate thinner patties so you can put cheese in between like with typical double cheeseburgers. But a good, thick, juicy burger is the standard for what a burger is.
Plenty of people have commented on him mistaking antlers for antennae, but I'm still stuck on the fact that he called it a top hat. It's a ten-gallon cowboy hat, not a top hat... As for his point that there wasn't a lot of buzz about this menu item, he's certainly correct. I had never heard of this until right now, a year too late.
I could definitely taste the exotic meats in what I had, but I've had them before so guess I know what to look for? I think they blended just enough regular ground beef into it to make it palatable for the majority. I loved this thing! I know where there's an elk preserve that lets you get right up close, how wrong would it be to go eat one of these with them?
If you have had a real elk, bison, or venison burger, this burger isn't going to be comparable. It's a blend of meats and is going to taste the same as any other burger. But if your only goal is to make PETA angry, this is the burger for you. It includes beef, elk, and venison. So three kinds of dead animals instead of one. When I was visiting Wisconsin Dells, I make it a point to try every kind of meat possible. I had elk and bison burgers. And then I found a jerky shop and tried every kind of jerky imaginable. The list included python, turtle, ostrich, and I think either alligator or crocodile. With some of them, the spices in the jerky covered the flavor. But turtle had a horrible fishy kind of taste to it. That one was especially bad.

Do you hunt for it yourself , or do you buy it at a store ? The meat I mean
just plant an apple tree in your backyard 🙊🙉🙈@@MrPatPatriot223
Come from a family of ranchers and I only eat high quality beef...Venison tastes like a wet dog,just not for me..Quality beef is the best!
On the sticker, it says 34% venison, 33% elk, and 33% beef. And, yes, it's not going to taste like what you would get from wild deer and elk as these are farm-raised and eat different food than wild animals.
I would not have known about this burger without your channel. I'll try it out. Thanks. 🤠👍
Let us know what you think 🤔
@@Tee-cl6dc It's bad.
@@Tee-cl6dc Overpriced with bland unseasoned meat.
Thank you for the heads up !! Much appreciated
You don't get weekly store flyers or coupon pages for fast food places in your mail? I am in Chicago and get them all the time. Just curious.
This is why we often mix beef with our elk and deer meat when making burger. It takes some of the gamey flavor out. They gameyness of each animal and each cut is different in wild game. Some blends need more beef than others.
Arbys is one of those fast food chains that I just don’t ever think of.
Arbys is one of the few fast food chains that i can't stop thinking of lol. Love me some Arbys!

It has the most restaurants out of them all
@@luckycharms4339Well, they need to have more in Maine. We only have 4 in the state
Farm raised deer/elk is probably milder. Around here the deer eat a lot of corn and it honestly isn't that much different from beef, but if you get a deer up in the mountains that's been living off of trees and dead leaves it's going to taste different.
No doubt. I've had some venison that just tasted unpleasantly like corn stubble and dry leaves. Usually a late season deer. Considering the guy who hunted it, it was probably poached. Some tasted like beef liver.
I never quite understood the milder/ gaming terms to me elk taste like elk and mule deer taste like mule deer and antelope sucks
Bison is where it's at. SO tasty
@@2fuzydepends what the antelope were eating if they live in sagebrush they will have a off flavor but if they on grass plains they are petty close to venison in my opinion
@@slipnsldnaway the mule deer were far more edible then the antalope that came off the same ranch I spent most of my life on and I'm sure that none of them were as good as a grain fed white tail but elk is my favorite
I tried this last week and yeah, the sauce is pretty strong. I did enjoy the meat, reminded me of reindeer sausage I had in Alaska, but that sauce was a bit much.
The game meat for this burger is most likely farm raised. The food which is fed to farm raised game is much different than what the animals would eat in the wild, that is why the meat doesn't have a game taste to it.
His deadpan on “Antenna” is so good. 😂
Your fast food reviews are my fave to watch
Great video bestie!! I can’t wait to try that!!
Reviewbrah thank you man. Going through a very hard time. You actually make a difference in my day. Hope you’re feeling good🙏🏽
When I heard of The Big Game burger, game meat instantly came to mind. I've had proper venison before, and I'm not a huge fan of it, but I'm curious how it would be along with elk and beef in a burger. I might yet try this.
They have even more of the meats now. They can’t be stopped. Arby’s is the GOAT. Never in history has a fast food chain been so incredibly stable. Whether you went to Arby’s in 1988 or 2023 you get exactly what you wanted. A beef sandwich done the Arby’s way proper. No doubt in my mind.
The goat? Don't give them any ideas, they might have it next year
They're not gonna hire you dude
My first thought when I heard, Big Game, was Elk meat. I was shocked to hear that’s actually what it is. 😮. I’m definitely motivated to try it.
Big Game is any large hunted animals
Got it last night. It was disgusting.
It isn't legal to sell wild game meat. I have doubts about what's in this burger.
@@SomethingFunny454 no, you can buy it, from licensed producers. Often its not wild big game, its farm raised big game. But its still "big game" aka the meat from big game animals. Whole cooking shows and restaurants are made around big and small game dishes
I was thinking bison
Gamey is a relative term. For example, when beef was first introduced to east asian cultures where it was not common, they described it as gamey. To this day many recipes from that part of the world blanch beef to remove the "gamey" flavor. Also the cut of venison or elk is very important because the gaminess comes from the fat. If Arby's uses the loin for their blend, that part is the least gamey. That would also explain the high cost because loin is where the filet mignon comes from and is expensive.
If gamey is a relative term, how would there be a baseline to say what East Asian peoples would use to ascribe those qualities to beef? Also Oxen and other cattle are native to East Asia. They have eaten "beef" for centuries more than they didn't for religious purposes (Buddhists don't eat beef). So they were not "introduced to beef"
I still don't understand what people mean when they say "gamey".
The Big game Burger sounds tasty , I myself also thought big game Burger was about American Football 🏈… I
Am in the boring uk and we don’t have an Arbys near me and I have to eat gluten free food now .. I watch ReviewBrah doing his awesome reviews to see our well dressed Gentleman .. ReviewBrah being his Elegant best
We don't need an Arby's in the UK. You can buy some organic mince and make your own burger at home with gluten free burger baps. It will take you 5 mins to make and fry a patty or cheeseburger. With an air fryer, you can have French fries too, the whole meal taking less than 10 mins.

Haven't been keeping up with the reviews in a while, but it's refreshing to listen to. Quality information and easy entertainment!
I think we're on a completely different wavelength on this Burger.. It is, without a doubt, the BEST burger I've had from a fast food establishment (from the past year) with a distinctive taste.
The worst thing I've put in my face hole in a long time. It was so dense and over cooked, It hurt my jaw just chewing it. It had way too much sauce, and even the bun dense and heavy.
It was ok. Not a fan of the BBQ sauce on it. Wasn't bad.
I would posit that most people have no familiarity with gamey big game like elk and venison, so they are used to fattier, less dense meat. In the case of Arby's, since they have to mass produce the burgers, it also has beef added for the fat content, since elk and venison are both very lean, even when farmed like their product almost certainly has to be. Some people complain about the price, but if they were to try this at a local gourmet like Bonnell's or Tim Love's Texas gourmet places, they'd have to cough up $30-50 for the same thing; same thing for wild boar, rabbit, rattlesnake, or other exotics. I'm looking forward to trying it.
I’d agree. I just finished eating one. Over the last 50yrs I’ve had my share of wild game meat. People would be surprised how off putting straight up game meat ground up and cooked like a burger. Low fat content they typically wind up like a hockey puck. Typically I blend my game meat with pork or 70/30 high fat beef. Looking at the patty it’s got some density but still stays juicy and nice char on the outside. I would expect very similar at a sit down restaurant but expect it to cost 1/3 more. I’ll eat it again.
The sauce was actually my favorite part, it was a good burger not great or anything but good.@@dudeistpriest1
Mixing the venison and elk with beef probably cuts down on the gamey taste that deer and elk can have. My dad tricked my grandma (his mom) into eating deer meat by grinding it up and mixing it with beef.
You can tell it’s good by Reviewbrahs smile in the thumbnail.
Oh really the thumbnail he hasn't tried it in yet??
That's literally just something he did so he could have a thumbnail before he cut it open.
@@Dzugashvililike, literally.
I would like to see you do some reviews on Hardees. They just came out with a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. I would like to hear your opinion on it.
I appreciate the review. I definitely would've been getting it for the novelty of the gamey flavor so it's good to know what to expect there
This may have been pointed out, I didn't read all the comments;
My guy, the Arby's logo is supposed to be a cowboy hat, not a top hat. This particular brand altering for the big game burger is antlers on the hat, that isn't an antenna.
That being said, this is just me trying to help out the fast food review G.O A T.
carry on review Brah. Love you love your show.
Love to see a new fooood review from Review Brah ❤
Just wanna say that your video reviews are really appreciated!
His clever little jokes that he slides in there always crack me up😂
i actually think he believes they radio antennas when they're clearly elk antlers...
I like that you don't just copy and paste your intro and outro despite the fact you keep them pretty much the same. It's just nice, professional even.
Burgers at Arby's is a lot more believable than fries at Taco Bell. But I gotta hand it to them, the nacho fries ads were pretty creative.
The local independent burger shop, Sylvester’s in Oceano California, has had elk for decades. And bison burgers.
Love these burgers, meats more solid and not so greasy. Great flavor. Everyone should grab one.
Good video, will certainly try one. Also I believe those are antlers on the sticker not an antenna, but could be wrong.
Me giggling at ReveiwBruh's sarcasm while he is stone cold faced. The man is committed! 😅
this cat's radio show is fantastic, a nice blend of news, opinion and wondrously wacky music, super fun!
Elk burgers are awesome.... The elk antlers coming out of the Arby's hat...
Got it spot-on with the “antenna” on the sticker. 😂 Might need to radio for help when you’re in the woods. Grab an antler and phone home.
Review Brah is the master troll. He kept saying "genetic" instead of "generic" just to test us. Also, the quip about the "antenna" coming out of the Arby's logo that were antlers. Genius.
I suppose if there was a picture of a jakalope he would have called it an alien.
Dude you trying to troll or do you not realize that's just how he pronounces r's
I'm a new devotee of Review Brah. So I didn't know that. I do know he has mastered the Mid-Atlantic accent of 1940's radio voices. @@truecrimenwine489

Been watching him for years, and you’d know that too if you watched more than two videos, but here you are trying to come across as someone who knows better than everyone. 😂
solid review although i genuinely can’t tell if you’re joking about the elk antlers on the arby’s logo being antennas or not 😭😭 5:52
😂 obviously a funny!
You should do Jollibee! I just had for the first time recently and was shocked by how good it is. Worth the drive if it's not nearby.
As somebody that lived with family in Georgia that had a freezer full of venison meat and venison burger, if you source the venison from somewhere like Georgia with tons of wild greenery and not deer from alpine/mountainous areas you'll find it comes across like lean beef (at least in burger form) and is not very gamey at all.
All fast food places need a panini press to put their products in right before serving
there are few things I can rely on..
ReviewBrah putting out quality content and being a nice guy while posting great reviews is one of them.
I’ve had a bison burger that was 100% bison meat and it was indistinguishable from beef. You’d be surprised how many meats taste similar. It probably has to do with the diet of the animal
I had a Bison burger once on vacation once in Utah. It was a very lean burger. It was a nice change of pace but I think I will stay with a regular beef burger. But I'll give this burger a try just to give it a try.
We actually prefer bison to beef for a lot of things. It seems to have a richer "beefier" flavor if that makes sense. But it is very lean, so it doesn't make a good burger straight. Needs some beef fat to moisten it up.
lean bison meat 80% pork fat 20% makes a mean fracking burger
I only clicked on this video because of the absurdity that is Arby's actually serving venison and elk in a burger
Feels like this would be better with standard burger toppings versus steak sauce and breaded onions which I've never understood the appeal of on burgers. If you want to use steak sauce mix it into the meat before you cook it, that allows for a chemical change to occur and just overall better use of adding sauce to burgers. Same with the onions. Add these to the meat versus just pulling it on as an after thought
I chuckled a bit at him thinking the antlers were antennas
Me too!
I'd still be really skeptical because venison and elk are both really easy to overcook and it can be like chewing on a hockey puck if it's too bad So I would imagine if they don't make it fresh and keep them pre-made in a warming dish they're going to be really rubbery
They make them fresh and you have to wait. Usually ask me to pull forward if cars are behind me. I’ve had it 3x now. Ask for extra cheese. I also got tomato on mine.

This was a big review. Something just seemed extra significant about this one. Thank you for your service, Review Brah.
great review as always. i would be more than willing to bet that the proportions of the "meats" would be about 1% venison, 1% elk and 98% beef just so they could use the "Big Game" gimmick. either way i will try it because i think it looks pretty tasty!!
I looked it up on their website: Made with 34% Venison, 33% Elk, and 33% Ground Beef Blend.
They claim it to be about 33% of each and I’m with ya! I’ll probably be trying it even if that turns out to be false info!
My thoughts exactly. Wouldn't doubt if it's just their "Wagyu" burger they rebranded. Lol
@@2Atwater7it is different. The texture is different. Big game burger is much tougher
@@tylerlogsdon8623 Like chewing a brick.
He knows it's antlers, people...he knows.
Thank you 😊
I don’t indulge in fast food very often, mostly bc the cost of things. I’d rather buy 3 potatoes or bell peppers than 1 burger ya know - but my point is I really appreciate your videos, it’s silly but it kind of scratches that itch!
At this time of year the elk and venison would be from domesticated animals--perhaps that explains the mild taste .
What are the costs of your produce? I can make a 1/3 lb+ burger made fresh with a good hard roll, tomato, cheese, onion, and and maybe one green ingredient for about $1.50. Peppers and potatoes prices haven't been great, here, and both can be grown in-state.
@@Euripides_Panz admittedly I live in a state with OK produce production - $3 for 3 potatoes or 2 red bells. But I know for sure if I wanna make a burger at home it’s costing at least $12
WEF: "We should eat more bugs to save the environment."
Arby's: (Releases elk+venison+beef burger)
WEF: why is our idea not selling? Is it the bug part?
city folks, this burger aint made for city Folks .
I really like that painting on the right side of the frame
dang, just started the video but the burger looks good judging from the thumbnail! 😊
My favorite local fast food is Arby's and Wendy's though. 9 times out of 10 it's super fresh and well prepared. I like the Arbys Gyros and Curly Fries!!!
Apparently the meat is sous vide to 90%, then they finish it in store (I assume on flattop)
As for the flavor, they claim it's 33/33/33. I've always heard farm raised game meat isn't as strong as wild game meat... and I'm sure Arby's is buying farmed game.
I work at Arbys we don't have a grill. They come in a pack, we separate the patties, put it in a pan and throw them in the fryer to order and finish it in the microwave. Its kinda gross. Nothing at Arbys requires a grill and the burger is only a limited time so there's no point in having a grill. So it gets fried and microwave. Bon appetit.
I have heard (unverified) that some large animals may have an anatomical features, called antlers, which, if the descriptions on the internet are correct, could possibly resemble the short-wave antenna on the Arby's Hat Logo. Any info on this would be appreciated. Excellent review - Awesome content - As always!
I Rolled up the wrapper really tight and stuck it in my radio and now it's working so much better. defiantly an antenna
Thank you for your excellent work as always. Very consistent!
x) that antennae joke was great. I could almost hear the children saying "those are antlers reviewbrah!"
This man is a Living Legend
I believe those are antlers on the Arby's logo
That antenna/radio stuff was next level sarcasm you had me dead lol
I appreciate how thick the patty is. In my head that’s how all burgers should be. But I always have to order a double anytime I buy a burger cause non of them are to my standard so I might have to give this burger a try just for the size of the patty
smash burgers. you gotta like those too, right?!
@@CMHC I don’t. My first experience with smash burger was at fort bliss.
Good burger but my patty was smashed. I didn’t like that. Then a friend took me to some place called Freddy’s and they also smash the patty down and they smashed it worse then smash burger. That mess was so freaking thin. I couldn’t take it lmao
@HENDO24 I totally agree!!!!! 😂😂😂. I don't understand how people enjoy a smashed burger...literally....smashed lol. The biggest turn off for me is the crispy edges... I don't want a hamburger crispy! I want it thick, jucy, & flavorful. A crispy smashed burger I just can't do 😂.
I can appreciate thinner patties so you can put cheese in between like with typical double cheeseburgers. But a good, thick, juicy burger is the standard for what a burger is.
Plenty of people have commented on him mistaking antlers for antennae, but I'm still stuck on the fact that he called it a top hat. It's a ten-gallon cowboy hat, not a top hat...
As for his point that there wasn't a lot of buzz about this menu item, he's certainly correct. I had never heard of this until right now, a year too late.
I could definitely taste the exotic meats in what I had, but I've had them before so guess I know what to look for? I think they blended just enough regular ground beef into it to make it palatable for the majority. I loved this thing! I know where there's an elk preserve that lets you get right up close, how wrong would it be to go eat one of these with them?
I agree with this.
i had this a few days ago! lowkey thought it was really good loved the texture of the meat and was cooked really well
Same *😁* .
Randomly stopped at Arby's today. Saw this and bit... halfway through, I came to search for reviews... happy to see this was the first result!!!
I'm going to try it.
I've had a Bison Burger, Wild Boar, Shark, Quail, venison and they were good.
This burger ought to make PETA furious!!
why? I'm in PETA, People Eating Tasty Animals
😅😂
If you have had a real elk, bison, or venison burger, this burger isn't going to be comparable. It's a blend of meats and is going to taste the same as any other burger. But if your only goal is to make PETA angry, this is the burger for you. It includes beef, elk, and venison. So three kinds of dead animals instead of one. When I was visiting Wisconsin Dells, I make it a point to try every kind of meat possible. I had elk and bison burgers. And then I found a jerky shop and tried every kind of jerky imaginable. The list included python, turtle, ostrich, and I think either alligator or crocodile. With some of them, the spices in the jerky covered the flavor. But turtle had a horrible fishy kind of taste to it. That one was especially bad.
This guy is the best guy to give me updates on fast food
With Elk being such a lean meat, I can't imagine it would add much flavor to a burger.
Venison is lean too yet it's quite flavorful. I hear elk is mild though.
That first bite was something else and definitely had him deep in thought 😂 good review brah 🤘👍🫡
