Even though I had a homeless guy review their chicken salad sandwich I’m apparently still in the good graces of Arby’s, as I received an email from them last week offering to send me an Arby’s gift card if I wanted to try their new Angus Cool Deli Sandwich. I’ve never been one to turn down free food so I happily obliged.
The Angus Cool Deli sandwich (or whole grain wrap if you’re going the healthy route) consists of Angus beef (served cool as the name implies), lettuce, tomato, onions, Swiss cheese, banana peppers and pickles, as well as a vinaigrette dressing and some mayonnaise. I’m not a very big fan of pickles or banana peppers however, so I ordered my sandwich without them.
Taste wise I was pretty impressed with the sandwich. There’s only so much you can do with roast beef, so I give Arby’s a lot of credit for continually coming up with new sandwich ideas. Size wise I was WAY more impressed with the Angus Cool Deli Sandwich than I was with their Angus Three Cheese & Bacon Sub that they released earlier this year. Whereas that sandwich seemed extremely undersized for its $4.99 price tag the Angus Cool Deli Sandwich (which also costs $4.99) seemed huge in comparison.
In addition to hooking me up with free food, Arby’s was also nice enough so give me a $20 gift card to give away to one of you. Want to win? Just leave a comment on this post and I’ll pick a winner at random a week from today. Have you tried the Angus Cool Deli Sandwich yet? If so, what did you think? The comment doesn’t even have to be about Arby’s. For example, you could tell me what size shoe you wear or which current popular song you wish you never had to hear again. I personally wear size ten and a half shoes and I can’t stand the Jennifer Lopez song “On The Floor.” I’m not sure what it is, but the way she pronounces “Africa” in that song really annoys me.
I love banana peppers. Even more than just plain bananas or peppers.
That Jennifer Lopez song is the worst!
I love Roast Beef! n wear size 8 flip flops
Haven’t tried the sandwich yet, but I’m a huge fan of Arby’s and love its beef n’ cheddar sandwich. Throw some curly fries on the side and I’m a happy girl. I’ll have to give this one a try.
Oh man, I love arby’s, but the one that was within reasonable driving distance from my house was turned into a Nathan’s… The only arby’s remaining in my area is a 35min drive. Totally worth making the trip though, especially since that new sandwich looks pretty beefy!
That sandwich kinda looks like a giant horse vagina. Or maybe sliced dachshund skin on a roll. I can’t decide which one it looks like more, but I sure hope I randomly win the gift card so I can try one some day!!
There is one Arby’s that i know of in the delco area, and i’m pretty sure i’m their only customer.
I tried the wrap version of this yesterday and thought it was great.
I don’t know that J-lo song, I do like Abry’s but mostly I like you blog. It makes me happy when I see a new post. It makes me sad when there is no new post.
I was just diggin on their turkey ranch sammich the other day. Not bad. Could use their liquified cheese sauce tho.
I haven’t tried the sandwich yet, but would love to. It looks yummy and no I don’t care much for Jennifer Lopez’s music and I wear a size 7.5 shoe.
I have big feet – that would be an impressive statement if I were a guy.
This sandwich looks awesome. I’ll have to give it a try even if I don’t win the gift card! (although winning a $20 Arby’s gift card would be pretty sweet)
I’ll have to make mine w/o mayo… I wonder if they have spicy mustard like a dijon…
gimme dat
I change the channel when any song by Bruno Mars comes on.
I have seen that sandwich advertised…might have to get one now that I hear they are good.

i wanna try this sooo bad
I too was disappointed with the Angus Three Cheese and Bacon, but this new one actually looks really good.
Chuck Mangione stole my gosh darn curly fries last time I went to Arby’s!
That looks delicious!
To follow up, I cannot stand this song/commercial…

I haven’t had a chance to try the Cool Angus yet, but I’d love to. Extra banana peppers for me!
You got curly fries WITHOUT cheese sauce? Lame.
That sandwich is big! Definitely want!
I am sooo hungry right now and THAT did not help. But, on to greener pastures- have you seen my baseball?
Who loves Arby’s? I do! I do!
Totally agree with you on all counts about the size and value of the sandwiches. I thought the earlier 3 cheese bacon angus thing was puny also.
I also hate the was JLo says Afreeka. Makes me twitchy. But I do like Arby’s.
Looks good! My feet are huge, btw, so I am refraining from mentioning my actual shoe size.
I’ve only ever eaten at Arby’s once, and I had horrible service.
I’m getting pretty tired of TGIF by Katy Perry, and I have average-sized feet.
Size 12 shoes and I love me some of J’Lo’s Taco Flavored Kisses!!
I like banana peppers.
I also like free food.
Thundercats HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I like arbys and that looks pretty good
Arby’s Rocks!
I dont care for pickles on my sandwiches either but forgot to not ask for them and they are actually diced small with the banana peppers so it was a good addition!
I wear a size 10 shoe=]
Is it bad that I don’t even know what size shoe I wear?
mmmmm…I’m 8 months pregnant and just reading about Arby’s excited my daughter
I grew up (a LONG time ago) frequently going to Arby’s with my folks. It was obviously not REAL Roast Beef, but as good a simulation as Buddig’s supermarket deli slices. And the Cheddar on the Beef and Cheddar? It’s Nacho Sauce with the peppers surgically removed! Still, Horsey Sauce was my favorite way to consume horseradish until Fake Wasabi came along. When Arby’s started offering Angus Beef sandwiches, I had my doubts… but then I’ve had doubts about the special-ness of Angus Beef ever since Jack in the Box did its infamous comparison commercial hinting at an Angus/Anus connection. Haven’t been able to look at “Angus Third Pounder” on the McD’s menuboard since. Still, I wouldn’t turn down an Arby’s freebie.
Arbys – its good mood food
A 20 dollar Arby’s gift card…that’s like, 20 value curley fry order. I like.
I hope I get randomly picked to win this card. I haven’t had Arby’s in years.
Thanks.
I have an eternally hungry boyfriend, and no cooking skills. I bet he’d be really happy to hear I won him a couple meals. Also, I want an excuse to eat an Arby’s apple turnover.
I haven’t eaten at Arbys in years, but would go back if I had a gift card.
Mmm, Arby’s French Dip.
I’d happily eat your pickles for you! Mmm.
We live in a “developing neighborhood” and the Arby’s there is the only fast-food restaurant not entirely bent on ruining their parent company’s reputation. The less said about our closest McDonald’s, the better. *Shudder*
I’d love to get $20 worth of beefy goodness!
Beef!
Gimme all your Arby’s money!
BTW I wear size 8 shoes and Lady Gaga’s “Edge of Glory” is really stupid and annoying and so much worse than any of her other music.
^ winning! Yay for Arby’s giftcards! Thanks Nick! Your blog rocks =)
Love their curly fries but don’t like the jamocha shakes
thanks
I’ve never had Arby’s! I want to try it!
When we were little, our mom would spank us with wooden spoons. My brother and I did something one day to get in trouble so we broke all of her spoons. She pulled out 1 broken spoon after another and finally realized we had done something so we broke them in a pre-emptive strike.
You made the cool deli sound great…I’m going to try it!
I tried this sandwich yesterday and i am hooked.I always never liked Arbys but now its my favorite fast food.I actually had to have another one of these today.If you havent tried this badboy yet GO DO it lol
Yummy Arby’s
