Barbecue season is almost here and Arby’s is making sure your summer meals are anything but basic. The fast food chain has partnered with AC Barbeque, the lifestyle brand founded by comedians and BBQ lovers Anthony Anderson and Cedric The Entertainer, to launch two new limited-time sandwiches inspired by backyard cookouts and pitmaster quality.
Beginning April 28, Arby’s fans nationwide can enjoy the new Quarter Pound Brisket Sandwich and Quarter Pound Pulled Pork Sandwich at participating locations. Both are made with slow-smoked meats and packed with bold flavor.
The Quarter Pound Brisket Sandwich features 13-hour hickory-smoked brisket topped with sweet, garlicky dill pickles and served on a toasted sesame seed bun. The Quarter Pound Pulled Pork Sandwich includes 6-hour hickory-smoked pulled pork, offering a mix of tender bark pieces and juicy meat, also finished with pickles and a toasted sesame seed bun.
To take the experience up a notch, customers can pair the sandwiches with two new sauces from Anthony and Cedric’s AC Barbeque line:
Cedric’s Sweet Bussin Brown Sugar Sauce is a sweet and tangy blend made with slow-cooked brown sugar for malt and caramel flavor.
Anthony’s Spicy Chipotle Smoke Sauce brings the heat with smoky chipotle peppers for a bold and spicy kick.
“This collab brings together the soul of barbecue with Arby’s dedication to high quality meats,” Arby’s said in a statement. “It is comfort food with personality, just like Anthony and Cedric themselves.”
Each sandwich will be available starting at $5.99. Whether you’re in the mood for rich brisket or smoky pulled pork, Arby’s is giving you a reason to skip the grill and still enjoy a top tier BBQ bite.
