hello everyone this is running on empty Food review well hello ladies gentlemen and everyone
watching welcome one and all to this newest edition of The Running on Empty Food review
series I'm your host the report of the week thanks for checking in back at it with another
new release this is actually I would say maybe it's a re-release but for me it's new because
I've never tried out this item before I've been seeing there's there's some demand for this one
I already saw some requests coming in to try this out so I'm excited to uh try this out
giving Arby's another shot this is not however the one pork rib uh southern style barbecue
sandwich or whatever the name of that was that I tried to review the other week and then I
got that weird thing with the the buffalo sauce on it or whatever whatever that was
Arby's has brought back a favorite just released it's just out they originally
released this a year ago pretty much a year ago to the day their wagyu Steakhouse burger is back
when I tried this out last year there was again so much demand for it there was so much
interest and a lot of people were wondering yes we know that Arby's they have the meats
but now they have even more Meats but are they any good a lot of people would people were trying to
figure out well a burger from Arby's I mean how's that going to be exactly surprisingly enough when
I tried it out was it a messy Burger sure did it taste good indeed it did and it was very well
received I enjoyed it I gave it an 8 out of 10. a lot of other people enjoyed it too now it's back
but they've released a second variety of this burger because last year I tried out the deluxe
wagyu Steakhouse burger this time around I wanted to try out the bacon wrench wagyu Steakhouse
burger and I have it right here and that's going to be what today's review is all about
it's slightly pricey eight dollars is how much it costs for the burger itself
here's what there is to it it has wagyu beef bacon American cheese
lettuce tomato pickles onion a Parmesan peppercorn ranch sauce and it's served
on a brioche bun again available for the price of eight dollars for the burger itself
I think you're thinking what I'm probably thinking right now
Arby's and fine dining go hand in hand
and I think when you even just look at this review it's overwhelmingly apparent if you've
watched enough of these videos before I mean you know how I do things and very casual t-shirt and
jeans always so that's why when I saw that Arby's the absolute Pinnacle of fine dining
is bringing back this absolute Gourmet Burger I have to go all out for the occasion because this
is special this is classy so we have to we have to express proper etiquette for this because waigu
this is just gold right here that's all that I could really say
that's that sarcasm is just it's silly admittedly now the wagyu Burger I think you understand why
goo beef and Arby's it's like you might roll your eyes a little bit and you might think come on give
me give me a break because wagu of course is very high quality obviously the real deal would be is
it possible to get it yeah is it going to be extremely expensive indeed so it's really a
technicality they say oh you know it's a it's a special wagyu sort of blend and you know so
they could call it a wagyu Steakhouse burger but is it the real deal no no it's not but again I
don't really want to bash it too much because I I tried this last year it was a good burger
we'll see how it is of course A year later because we know that well the quality could
really fluctuate sometimes it could get better sometimes it could get worse sometimes it
stays the same I also like to see if they're maintaining the standards or not all right
descriptions aside comes in its little pouch right there it actually protects it from radiation
I don't know if you'll be able to hear any of this but there's actually thunderstorm moving
through so I don't know if you'll be able to hear any of the Thunder or not since you're mittens
and here it is let's take a look
kind of reminds me of how it was last year where it was you know it wasn't
like a little wafer thin Patty or anything but it was definitely on the Messier side
and it's actually difficult to even see the burger itself isn't it you could see
the lettuce you could see the cheese you could see the bacon right there it's a bacon strip
the Tomato that's lurking that's the sauce at the bottom that's the peppercorn Ranch
let's debun it and then see what we see
more lettuce the little lettuce um strips it's dangling that's it's trying to escape actually
think about it like this this is kind of like the burger
equivalent of a quasar which is pretty crazy
and see that black void in there that's the burger
really so it's like at least in this lighting it looks like a black void you can't really see
it that's the funny thing you can't really see the the beef at all oh here we go okay
because I just want you to get a good look at it you know so holding it up see now there's the beef
the beef patty so anyway it's a little tricky to get that proper view of it but I hope you were
able to at least see it so you could get a little bit of a an understanding as to its appearance
it's disposition and all that good stuff you know what's on it I know what's on it we all
know what's on it we know how much it costs we know this this Burgers life story let's try it
out let's see if it's any good or not the Bacon Ranch wagu Steakhouse burger from Arby's going in
see at the bottom there that's one of the onions that's not one of the intestines
take one more bite
foreign
I got the cloth right here I guess it was just out of habit
the synopsis
number one I think the question that most people would just want to know immediately doesn't taste
good the answer is yes so if that's all you're interested in just does it you know again does
it taste good indeed it does so you could leave the the video right now if you want because you
have the information that maybe you were you were seeking out I don't really want to waste
anyone's time excessively or anything like that I'll just leave it like that for now
so if you get this and you're just interested all right does it taste good yeah yeah sure it does
here's the thing though and this isn't because this is one of those items
the overall product itself totally fine I can't complain however when I look at these items
and of course it's supposed to have a certain specific premise I.E bacon ranch Steakhouse burger
then I'm going to be interested in seeing okay how does the bacon taste how prominent is it
how prominent likewise is the parmesan peppercorn ranch sauce
that's where we run into a little bit of a problem
got some Dr Pepper this time around with it why not let's throw in the drink
so a real quick rundown of the ingredients themselves first and foremost real quick the
wagyu beef again it's obviously not the real the real deal it's a blend but it tastes fine for what
it is granted I was being silly about the Gourmet aspect and all of that but when you get this
you're going to notice a good portion size despite the price at least it's going to be a thick
juicy flavorful beef patty good substance to it good quality as well it tastes good
it is of decent quality flavorful that's exactly what I was hoping for because again
most people are probably going to be getting this because it's a burger you know it's like
the ranch dressing is an afterthought it's something to add on to it but obviously you just
you want to have the burger in the first place that's why everyone gets this so regardless of
how this is supposed to be customized that beef patty is still the most crucial aspect of it and
they did a good job there it is of good quality and they are maintaining the same standards
that I remember them having a year ago so that's good news right there that's very good news
the bacon as well it's crispy it's flavorful and it's not one of those ingredients that
just gets lost in everything because sometimes when you see this and you see all the cheese and
the sauce and all the toppings you know sometimes certain ingredients will just get lost in the mix
the bacon not one of those ingredients you know it's fatty tastes good though nice crisp to it
and it really stands out so the bacon as well another important ingredient I always enjoy
having bacon Burgers myself so it tastes good and it's definitely I think what you would hope to see
it's cheesy as well the American cheese is essentially very melty it's kind of
like in that semi-solid it's not like totally a liquid but it's just very it's just very melty
and as a result though it allows the cheese to permeate very evenly through the burger so
it's definitely a Cheesy Burger every bite you are going to taste that American cheese and I
think a lot of people like a good cheeseburger so again that's not a that's not a drawback at
all you could taste the cheesiness now then we start getting into other ingredients the tomato
they said they were pickles on this but I didn't notice any pickles you know it
I'll pick it apart now I didn't notice any pickles on this no I don't see a pickle I think this came
with Pickles so that's just one one thing to be aware of I I noticed they mentioned
pickles on their website but again I don't see any here but again the lettuce the Tomato you
know fresh enough the lettuce you know is not of the highest quality but the tomatoes are
pretty fresh the onions potent it you know it adds to a burger it's just a deluxe item here's
the problem though the parmesan peppercorn ranch sauce I can see it no doubt you saw it as well
you saw it on the bottom on the top there's a good amount of it as I'm looking at it right now
I could visually see that ranch dressing I could see it based on its white color
as well as the little peppercorn in it you could see the little specks and everything the little
Speckles of it so it's definitely there a lot of the time when I have a ranch dressing it's
very flavorful I could definitely notice it it's one of those dressings that generally stands out
oftentimes it could really contribute flavor wise to an item and make something that might be on the
more dull side a bit more flavorful just has that tendency to do that when I saw it in the copious
amount that it has on this burger I thought to myself this is going to be really it's going to be
intense I would wager there might even be too much of it because I see so much of the sauce there
I think to myself yeah this is going to be really really flavorful
might even be overboard but when I try it out thinking all right I'm waiting for the flavor
I can taste everything else why can't I taste the ranch dressing it's there
I could see it there's so much of it as a matter of fact why can't I taste it
so that's the problem the ranch dressing instead of being that potent very flavorful
dressing that I hoped for it to be especially given that it's in the name of this burger
it more or less to me seems like it's a glorified mayonnaise in that it adds moisture to the item
but does it add anything as far as flavor is concerned I'm afraid it doesn't
that's the disappointing thing about this is it a good burger I'd say so
is it a good bacon cheeseburger I agree I think it is is it a burger that you could just really
taste that ranch dressing in it I can't at all it's there but to me it's tasteless filler
and it's like a glorified mayonnaise so in conclusion if you want a bacon cheeseburger
this is for you it's good it's a good bacon cheeseburger
it's a deluxe bacon cheeseburger and almost all the ingredients I likewise of quality
but that peppercorn that parmesan peppercorn ranch dressing you are not going to be tasting
it at all it doesn't matter how much of it you see doesn't matter how much of it there is it is
there essentially in name only it's going to be missing in action when you eat this so when you
get this and you're really hoping for that ranch you will be let down so get this if you want a
good bacon cheeseburger everything else to this totally fine but if you're looking for that ranch
dressing you're not going to find what you're looking for I'm afraid slightly pricey eight
dollars for the burger generally of good quality but I am going to have to deduct the pointer too
because it's supposed to be the bacon ranch wagyu Steakhouse burger when it's missing or I should
say when such a critical ingredient is not up to par I have to deduct a pointer too so therefore
out of ten I'm going to be giving this item a 6.7 out of 10. still good for what it is it's a good
bacon cheeseburger but if you're looking for ranch I'm afraid you'll be disappointed that's all that
I have for you thanks for watching and until next time I'm your host the report of the week
