Arby's Unveils 'Delicious Fusion' of New Items With 'Authentic' Collab
- Arby's is collaborating with AC Barbeque, created by comedians Anthony Anderson and Cedric the Entertainer, to introduce new smoky sandwiches and BBQ sauces to their menu nationwide.
Arby's is teaming up with AC Barbeque , the seasoning and rubs brand created by comedians and self-proclaimed "grilling enthusiasts" Anthony Anderson and Cedric the Entertainer , for what the company described as a truly "authentic" collaboration.
Unlike the chain's last celebrity collaboration , this time isn't about the merchandise or a BOGO deal, but rather the addition of two all-new "smoky" sandwiches and two new "mouthwatering" BBQ sauces to match.
Heading to menus nationwide later this month is Arby's new Quarter Pound Brisket BBQ Sandwichand Quarter Pound Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich, according to a press release shared with Parade . Prices start at $5.99, depending on location.
The brisket is slow-smoked for 13 hours before getting topped with sweet, garlicky dill pickles and served on a toasted sesame seed bun for a "perfect balance of flavors."

Arby's said its pulled pork is smoked for six hours over hickory wood, "creating a delicious fusion of chunky bark pieces and juicy, smoky shreds of pork," before it's also topped with pickles and served on a toasted sesame seed bun.

As for the two new sauces, there's one for fans of sweet BBQ and one to appeal to those who prefer it bring the heat–things could get " swicy " should fans opt for both at once. Cedric's Sweet Bussin Brown Sugar Sauce is described as a "deliciously sweet and tangy BBQ sauce made with slow-cooked brown sugar, creating malt and caramel flavors that blend perfectly with the rich, meaty sandwiches."
While Anthony's Spicy Chipotle Smoke Sauceoffers more "complex and aromatic flavors" that also "brings the heat with chipotle peppers, offering a smoky and spicy kick that perfectly complements the smoky meat."
