Arby’s Unveils New BBQ Sandwiches in Partnership with Comedians Anthony Anderson and Cedric the Entertainer
In a delightful collaboration, fast-food favorite Arby’s has teamed up with comedians Anthony Anderson and Cedric the Entertainer, who have ventured into the BBQ world with their brand, AC Barbeque. This partnership has birthed two new menu offerings that showcase quality smoked meats and innovative sauces.
New Menu Highlights
Starting April 28, Arby’s locations nationwide will feature:
- 1/4 lb Pulled Pork Sandwich: This sandwich is made with pulled pork smoked for six hours over hickory wood, topped with sweet, garlicky-dill pickles, and served on a toasted sesame seed bun.
- 1/4 lb Brisket Sandwich: A highlight of this offering is the 13-hour hickory-smoked brisket, complemented by the same dill pickles and served on a toasted sesame seed bun.
Signature BBQ Sauces
To enhance the flavor of these smoked meats, Arby’s presents two distinctive sauces developed by Anderson and Cedric:
- Cedric’s Sweet Bussin Brown Sugar Sauce: A sweet and tangy BBQ sauce enriched with slow-cooked brown sugar, offering malt and caramel flavors that harmonize with the barbecue meats.
- Anthony’s Spicy Chipotle Smoke Sauce: This sauce infuses a smoky and spicy kick, made with chipotle peppers for an extra layer of flavor that pairs well with both the pulled pork and brisket.
Creators’ Vision
Regarding their collaboration, Anderson and Cedric expressed their excitement: “AC BBQ is a labor of love,” stating, “We put so much time and energy into this product; we wanted to partner with Arby’s so that people across the country could feel like they are meeting us as they take a bite of their sandwich. We want these sandwiches to convey the joy, fun, and feel-good experience that barbeque brings, all while enjoying a great tasting, quality sandwich.”
Availability and Pricing
The new BBQ sandwiches, along with the accompanying sauces, will be available at participating Arby’s restaurants across the nation, starting at a price point of $5.99.
