Arby's(R) Restaurants Get You Ready For The Big Game With Timesaving Tailgating Tips, Recipes and 99-Cent Arby-Q(R) Sandwiches For Everyone

ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
Whether heading out to the stadium or cheering on your team from
the comfort of your family room, it's never too early to prepare for
the big game. This fall, Arby's wants to help get you ready with time
saving tips, great taste and big values. From now through October 5,
the Arby-Q sandwich makes a triumphant return to usher in tailgating
season at an unbelievably low price of $.99.

Featuring Arby's signature slow roasted, thinly sliced Roast Beef
smothered in a tangy barbecue sauce and served on a toasted sesame
seed bun, this sandwich makes it easy to serve up a spectacular
spread. Just pair with some of your favorite side dishes, such as
baked beans, cole slaw or potato salad and you'll be tailgating in no
time.

"Tailgating is about fun, friends and family," said Joe Cahn, the
self-proclaimed Commissioner of Tailgating, who has spent the past 12
years tailgating at NFL and college football stadiums, NASCAR tracks,
and more. "For a stress-free tailgate: prepare some side dishes ahead
of time and stop on the way to the game to pick up some crowd
pleasers. Less time for preparation and cooking means more time to
kick back and enjoy."

Here are some other tips to help ensure your tailgate is a
success:

-- Prepare favorite side dishes the night before the big game, so
they're ready to go.

-- Ask friends and family to bring a favorite dish.

-- Make the atmosphere a little more social, serving potluck
style means less time in the kitchen for the host.

-- Don't forget your team colors - don your gear, hang your flag
and show your spirit.

Neville Craw, corporate executive chef from Arby's, has created
some super side dishes to complement the game time spread. Says Chef
Craw, "The Arby-Q is the ultimate grab and go tailgate food. Pairing
it with classics, such as Zesty Bistro Slaw and my famous Craw's
Crunchy Pickles, is a great way to take your game to the next level
this football season."
