LaDainian Tomlinson opening the first Arby’s Steakhouse [News(?) Advertising(?) that is Humorous]
When I saw the title, I was unsure if it was serious, a funny ad campaign, or evidence an NFL player team needs the Concussion Pro to Call.

Foxnews.com: Arby's changing into LaDainian Tomlinson’s Arby's Steakhouse to launch its newest steak sandwich line

If you’ve ever seen an Arby’s and thought it would make a great high-end steak restaurant sponsored by a former NFL player, then you’re in luck – and maybe a little prophetic – because that’s exactly what they’re doing.

ARBY'S ANNOUNCES FIRST-EVER 'MEATOBERFEST,' LAUNCHES 'MEATERHOSEN' AND 'BEEFVARIAN HAT'

On Nov. 7, the home of the meats is transforming into Hall of Fame running back LaDainian Roll Eyes Tomlinson’s Arby’s Steakhouse, a luxury steakhouse complete with linen tablecloths and napkins, and tea light votives for ambiance, according to a statement. And since a steakhouse wouldn’t be complete without steak, the chain will be serving up petite filet steak to its guests.



The cheeky one-night-only restaurant is a play on what Tomlinson describes as a “tradition” among football players.

“In the steak world, there’s this tradition of legendary football players opening premium steakhouses,” he said in a press release for Arby’s. “LaDainian Tomlinson’s Arby’s Steakhouse continues this tradition, but in this case, I’m the football player and the steakhouse is an Arby’s.”

I'll try the sandwich for sure. The rest is just to get people's attention. Worked, it got your attention.

I saw the commercial last night and wonder if it is a gag or real. There is an Arby's in Richmond that has a regular buffet that you can purchase. The owner got permission from Arby's to create a more robust menu. It was a pretty nice restaurant.

But I imagine this is just a gag.

It's "real" in the sense that it is in 1 Arbys location in NYC for 1 night only. Don't expect your local Arbys to have a makeover.

I also did a double take when I saw the ad. That Arby's is where I head all the time when in traveling there for work, lovely Times Square.

I wonder if they will use the same hostesses that Arby's usually has hanging out around there. It would not be the full experience without someone asking for change.

Also save your receipt, the bathroom door code is on it.

The Yooper Arbys lasted about a year. Bad food, understaffed and bad service. Long wait times.
Maybe this will work for them.
