They could have had country fried steak nuggets with soy protein to bind it together and it would have been killer. This was food waste with a glaze.

You mean BBQ sandwiches? I worked at a Rax (like Arbys, with a salad bar) - the meat scraps and leftovers were thrown in a tub, covered in sauce, stuck in the cooler and sold as BBQ for the next day or so.

Wendy's gets away with it for their burger to chili. I'm not actually sure what Arby's is sourcing these from, but it just wasn't great.
