I find it weird you specifically called out Arbys since it seems like the closer you are to Richmond the better it becomes, with Richmond Arbys seemingly from a different planet compared to the rest of the country. There's rotisserie chickens, they seem free to experiment with the menu, some locations have beer, and it easily still competes and is often times better than the rise of "fast casual" places like five guys. I was genuinely surprised when I went to college further up the east coast and found out the hate on tv shows was a real opinion. It definitely wasn't as good up north but not that bad. I'd heard the further from the east coast, and for some reason Richmond, the worse it gets, with California friends despising it.
