Keith Habersberger just signed up to eat his way through an entire fast-food menu, one roast beef sandwich at a time.

On July 27, 2019, The Try Guys’ production company 2nd Try, LLC released “Keith Eats Everything At Arby’s,” a 26-minute-49-second installment of Keith Habersberger’s ongoing series “Eat the Menu.” The premise is simple and brutal: order, taste, and review every single item a fast-food chain sells, in one sitting. This time the target is Arby’s, a chain built on roast beef, curly fries, and a menu deep enough to make even a professional eater sweat.

  • The episode runs 26:49 and was published under 2nd Try, LLC, the independent production company run by the four Try Guys.
  • Habersberger — self-styled the “flavor sheriff” — is joined on camera by fellow Try Guy Zach Kornfeld, recurring collaborator Jared Popkin, crew member Samuel Johnson, and Izzy Francke, who all pitch in to help finish the food.
  • The video credits Habersberger, Ned Fulmer, Kornfeld, and Eugene Lee Yang as executive producers, with Alexandria Herring managing production, Rachel Ann Cole and Nick Rufca producing, Miles Bonsignore shooting, and Elliot Dickerhoof editing alongside Devlin McCluskey and YB Chang.

The Eat the Menu Format

“Eat the Menu” has become Habersberger’s signature lane within the Try Guys’ wider channel, distinct from the group’s ensemble videos. The format strips away the usual challenge-show gimmicks — no elimination, no opponent — and just asks one guy to work through a chain’s entire lineup, sandwich by sandwich, side by side. For Arby’s, that means the roast beef sandwiches the chain built its name on, the Reuben, the Classic Beef ‘N Cheddar, and the deli-style offerings sit alongside sides like curly fries, onion rings, and potato cakes, plus the smaller bites — mozzarella sticks and jalapeño bites — that usually get skipped in a normal order.

Habersberger works through Arby’s condiment lineup too, dipping into the horseradish, warm cheddar, and jalapeño sauces that separate one roast beef sandwich from the next. By the time the tray count climbs into dessert territory — the chocolate turnover, the apple crisp — the video has settled into the rhythm that makes “Eat the Menu” watchable: less a stunt, more a running commentary on what a fast-food chain actually offers when you force yourself to try all of it.

The flavor sheriff’s comin’ in hot.

Guest Tasters Share the Load

No one finishes an entire Arby’s menu alone, and the video leans into that. Zach Kornfeld, Jared Popkin, Samuel Johnson, and Izzy Francke all rotate through to help sample dishes and keep Habersberger from tapping out early, turning what could be a solo grind into something closer to a group taste test with Keith absorbing the bulk of the volume. That kind of tag-team eating format has precedent across the food-challenge corner of YouTube — the same instinct that fuels segments like Johnny Scoville’s Tube Of Terror Challenge, where bringing in extra hands or extra stomachs changes the whole pace of the stunt.

Behind the Camera

The credits underline how much production goes into what looks like an improvised eating session. Alexandria Herring managed the shoot, Rachel Ann Cole and Nick Rufca produced, Miles Bonsignore ran camera, and the edit — handled by Elliot Dickerhoof with Devlin McCluskey and YB Chang — is what turns hours of ordering, chewing, and commentary into a tight sub-27-minute video. Music was licensed from AudioNetwork, with sound effects and stock video pulled from Audioblocks and Videoblocks respectively.

Endurance-eating content has its own established benchmarks for what counts as a serious effort, the kind of territory covered in pieces like The Truth About Competitive Eating Champ Kobayashi. Habersberger’s version isn’t a timed contest against an opponent — it’s closer to a marathon menu review, with the four executive producers, Habersberger, Fulmer, Kornfeld, and Yang, all sharing credit on a format that’s become one of the channel’s more dependable recurring bits.

By the time Habersberger reaches the chocolate turnover and apple crisp at the tail end of the tray, the video has covered nearly every corner of Arby’s lineup — sandwiches, sides, sauces, and dessert — inside a single sitting, with Kornfeld, Popkin, Johnson, and Francke all still around to help him get there.
