Atlanta's Arby's facetiously offers Jon Stewart a job
By RODNEY HO/rho@ajc.com, originally filed February 12, 2015
A few weeks ago, I wrote about Jon Stewart's obsession with Atlanta-based fast-food chain Arby's - and not in a good way.
They have become a standard punchline joke for Stewart whenever he needs to "lose his appetite," so to speak.
Now that he's leaving the show, the marketing folks at Arby's tweeted him and jokingly offered him a job.
He was quick to point that out on his show Wednesday night. (Score! More publicity!)

"Actually that might be fun. My only question as a future employee: to work there, would I have handle, serve, touch, eat or even look at what you so generously describe as food? That's right Arby's. This mother****ing thing ain't over. I do not accept your peace offer. We shall always be enemies! For while you are a worthy adversary, you will be vanquished. Arby's: Come for Tweets, Run From the Meats!"
He then admitted: "It's truly an invented beef. Mine!"
