Roast beef chain is first fast food restaurant to feature fatty pork belly.
Pork belly is one of mankind’s greatest gifts, offering up tons of bacon flavor in a more tender, succulent form, with tons of lip-coating fat and grease. All of that flavor comes at a nutritional cost, however; ounce-for-ounce, pork belly has one of the highest fat and calorie densities by weight of any protein, which is why this baby clocks in at almost 900 calories.
Of course, if things like “arterial health” and “a functioning cardiovascular system” are as low-priority for you as they are for us, you might as well go for the gastric gusto and try Arby’s other limited time offering, the “Smoke Mountain Sandwich.” Because if pork belly on a fast food sandwich is good, pork belly topped with smoked brisket, a slab of smoked ham, smoked cheddar cheese, and risky onions strings is even better.
You can catch both the Smokehouse Pork Belly and the Smoke Mountain Sandwich now at Arby’s locations nationwide, available for a limited time only.
