Our regular poutine line-up does extremely well throughout the year, as does our slow roasted, daily roast beef, so combining them makes total sense.” [Arby's Poutine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbys-poutine) Dip Sandwich consists of toasted sub rolls, roast beef slices, signature Curly Fries, Quebec cheese curds and gravy. The sandwich premiered last year and exceeded all expectations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 13% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Limited Time Menu Items:** Creating short term menu items can drive repeat customers who want to try new flavors and experiences. - **Flavor Combinations:** Experimenting with different combinations of flavors can result in unique and popular menu items. - **Regional-inspired Dishes:** Drawing inspiration from regional dishes and flavors can attract customers looking for unique experiences and a taste of local cuisine. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Restaurant Industry:** Businesses in the restaurant industry can innovate by exploring new flavors and experimenting with regional-inspired menu items and limited-time offers. - **Fast Food Industry:** Fast food companies can differentiate themselves by creating unique and unexpected menu items. - **Food and Beverage Industry:** Innovations in the food and beverage industry can come from exploring new flavor combinations and taking inspiration from regional cuisine. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Poutine-Stuffed Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poutine-dip-sandwich.md) - [Meaty QSR Poutines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbys-poutine.md) - [Italian Deli-Inspired QSR Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-beef-dip-sandwich.md) - [Internationally Themed Beef Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-sandwiches.md) - [Garlicky QSR Beef Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roasted-garlic-roast-beef-sandwich.md) - [Extra-Cheesy Roast Beef Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-cheese-roast-beef-blt.md) - [Spicy Cheesy Beef Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jalapeo-beef-n-cheddar-sandwich.md) - [Stone Fruit Brisket Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-bbq-brisket-sandwich.md) - [QSR Menu Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbys-canada.md)
