ATLANTA – Arby’s, who wants consumers to know they “have the meats,” is backing up the claim and setting its aim on venison, after conquering smoke mountain, meat mountain and pork belly.

The “Venison Sandwich” will be released in popular hunting markets beginning in early November. The limited-run sandwich will feature thick-cut venison steak and crispy onions topped with a juniper berry sauce on a toasted specialty roll.

Arby’s said that the venison is marinated in garlic, salt, and pepper and then cooked for three hours to juicy, tender perfection. The juniper berry sauce is a Cabernet steak sauce infused with juniper berries, giving the already unique sandwich another signature twist.

“Hunters hunt the meats, and we have the meats, so it makes sense for us to connect with them and offer a sandwich that they can’t get at any other restaurant chain,” said Rob Lynch, Chief Marketing Officer and Brand President of Arby’s Restaurant Group, Inc. “We’re a brand that’s not afraid to take risks and while the “Venison Sandwich” is probably the biggest stretch for us yet, it’s incredibly delicious and we can’t wait to get it in the hands of our guests.

The “Venison Sandwich” will be offered at 17 Arby’s restaurants across America, each within heavy deer hunting areas, in the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Georgia.
