Hardees is what? In thebottom 5 of the top ten fast food chains?

Fries are a side.

Read Fast Food Nation- fries have always been the biggest seller at McD's.

Just because the patties are thin doesn't mean they are fat free.

4 ounces of beef with some fat is different from 9 ounces of beef with fat. The issue with these burgers are not that the meat is no lean- its the huge amount plus the bacon and cheese.

You, sir, have never had a good burger.

Actually, I have. You just are nuts to think a patty of ground beef, even a top notch one, can be a pinnacle of good tasting food.

Gepap -

Don't eat it, then. I won't either, for that matter.

Those salads have more calories than most burgers in the end.

Good. I'm sick and tired of all this low-cal food anyway. Anywhere I turn, there's low-fat this, sugarfree that, and low-cal yon. One day they're gonna put aspartame in my pasta. It drives me insane!

The problem isn't plenty of calories, but people with the metabolic rates of granite.

A niche market is being in the top 10 chains? And are we not counting the fact that BK sells a ton of Whoppers and McD's sells a ton of Big Macs?

I'll post it again, 'fries are a side'... so what? They are also probably less healthy than any burger they sell... that gives them their good taste.

So don't eat it. Plenty of people will to make Hardees turn a profit.

It seems like you really haven't had a good burger. If you've never had a craving for a thick, juicy burger then I shudder to think what you consider a 'good burger'.

As the article you yourself pointed out, those don;t come close to this monster. And even most Hardees customers won;t be having this monster.

Fries are not just a "side" I bet a lot of people buy some "healthy" item and a fries too. And yes, they used to be pretty unhealthy, as they were ocne cooked in beef tallow-but after lawsuits from vegetarians and hindus and so forth they now use vegetable oil.

So don't eat it. Plenty of people will to make Hardees turn a profit.

Since when is this a "don't eat it" issue? You claimed some imagined customer backlash against healthier food at fast food locals. Thats the arguement.

It seems like you really haven't had a good burger. If you've never had a craving for a thick, juicy burger then I shudder to think what you consider a 'good burger'.

Satisfying a craving is different from saying a burger is better than some real meal- of course when you have a craving something will taste good- that is not to say that if I have a craving for peanuts, I will claim good peanuts are the best food EVER....

I'm pissed at Hardees because they dropped fried chicken from the menu.

[GePap]

Popeyes pwnzz all other fast food fried chicken

to KFC! and Church's, and other wannabees

[BlackCat]

What a whimpish little burger

No, if you want a big burger, then try the "BUGGI dobbelt bacon-cheese" at http://www.densortegryde.dk if you ever come to denmark.

That thingie weight 1.8 Kilo (3.6 pound) and it doesn't cost more than 59 Kr ~ 7.4$. Sadly enough, they only have the price list - no pics, but then, you'll problably need a 21" screen to see it all

[JohnT]

Popeyes does rock.

Hardees chicken wasn't that bad. Better than KFC imo, far better than Church's, and that crap they sell at Bojangles doesn't even merit the name "chicken."

[GePap]

Bojangles?

That one never made it far, now did it?
