Don't know if there are others old enough to remember, but as a teen in Illinois, we (our whole family) was excited about Arby's new location in our city. They actually had large, "steamship" rounds" of beef... the same type popular on Sunday buffets at the time. Those Arby's sandwiches were truly delicious, and probably healthier since the "meat' was not a ground Gyro type mixture. Not sure when they made the change to pressed meat "products"; by that time I'd pretty much turned against so called "fast food". But yes, they did actually have GENUINE beef they would even slice off a whole round.
