Hardees says Forget about the Diet Food Craze at Fast Food Restaurants!

Yeah, he should've said Kansas.

Today for lunch I went to Carl's Junior (the company which owns Hardees) and I liked it even though I don't normally like or eat fast food. When I walked in the place was clean and nice plus it didn't have that fast food smell of greazy oil, there was a nice salad bar and all of the salad looked fresh, the menu had more variety then I expected from a fast food place with better quality ingredients, and unlike most fast food places a worker brings the food to your table.

That new 1500 calorie burger is called the 1 pound double cheese burger and you can order it with just about everything imaginable. It looked good but once I saw how big it was I knew I wasn't up to the challenge. Instead I ordered Carl's signature "$6 burger" which costs $3.50 but which really does taste like a burger you'd buy at a sit down restaurant. I had mine toped with guacamole & bacon which has a half pound of juicy burger goodness (which uses 100% angus beef instead of the ground tongue, penis, and god knows what else McD's puts in their burgers), fresh (not previously frozen) guacamole, two pieces of crisp bacon, two slices of jalapeno pepper jack cheese, a spicy sauce, and more lettuce/onions/tomatoes then you would believe.

Topped off with fries & a coke and I was in fast food heaven.

yeah the $6 burger is pretty good. That is the last burger I have eaten come to think of it. Not because it was bad, but because I laid off fast food for my diet.

Most of the really cheap ethnic joints are Chinese, Korean, Italian, or Mexican though there are few central American ones which are cheap too. There are plenty of other ethnic restaurants but most of them are moderate to upper priced.

In Vegas you can get the lunch special at most of these small chinese places. They aren't fast food, but they are pretty fast.

I can get a lunch special for $4.99 AND it was enough for 2 meals. I got a doggy bag and brought it home. The dinner costs more though.

yes Arnold does the voice over.

I think he said on a talk show he also gets free Arby's food for the rest of his life for him and his family. But when he went to a drive thru once, they didn't really believe his card that said he could get free food. And then they didn't realize he was Tom Arnold.

How big is the $6 burger, anyway? For that sort of money, I'd expect a real meal, and a normal-sized burger (a BigMac, say) hardly constitutes that.

Yeah, I am surprised at you Drake, I really am.

Wendy's and Chick Fillet aren't that bad as far as fast food goes. 'Course Supersize Me has traumatized me against it.

And local burger joints, decent bars, etc. are much better for that sort of food.

the $6 burger isn't really $6 . They just call it that because it tastes like a $6 burger you'd get at a regular sit down restaurant. I think it's a silly name, but that's besides the point.

It actually costs about $3.

personally, I don't see what's wrong with this burger.

First of all I don't think I could eat 2/3 of a pound of meat. I could make 2 meals out of this. Thus, the calorie count would not be excessive if you made 2 meals out of this. Or ate the entire thing and skipped your next meal.

[Drake Tungsten]

Yeah, I am surprised at you Drake, I really am.

That doesn't even make any sense. Typical...

It's a half pound of beef and it isn't $6. Like I said it's $3.50. They are advertising that it tastes like a $6 sit down restaurant burger.

I asked you if you were ever in the mood for a burger and you said no.

I am in the mood for lunch, and pick the cheapest thing, which happens to be a burger. Or I go to a dinner and go for the safe item. Those are not being "in the mood" for burgers. I don;t hunt for them- if they are on the menu, fine.

Sorry IMran, not "pwned".
