Arby’s, the iconic sandwich restaurant chain, announced the return of the decidedly Canadian sandwich creation, the Poutine Dip Sandwich, for a limited time starting November 7th.
"Our loyal guests absolutely loved the limited time sandwich," says Craig Walker, Senior Director, Business Development, Canada at Inspire Brands, the company that owns and operates the Arby’s brand. "Our team is always on the lookout for different and fun combinations of flavours that will please our guests. Our regular poutine line-up does extremely well throughout the year, as does our slow roasted, daily roast beef, so combining them makes total sense."
Arby's Poutine Dip Sandwich consists of toasted sub rolls, roast beef slices, signature Curly Fries, Quebec cheese curds and gravy. The sandwich premiered last year and exceeded all expectations.
