There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
I couldn't find a thread for this venerable institution so I thought you might like to know they're now selling burgs with a big slab of fried cheese in them

I lost ten years of my lifespan during the summer I worked at a mountain resort and Hardee's was both the only fast-food place around and going through it's "everything is now on grease-saturated 'Texas toast'" phase.

Went through a lot of tp too.

When I come back from Ocala National Park there's a truck stop off I-75 with a Hardee's Thick Burgers across from a Popeyes. It's like living in heaven for 20 minutes.

I like Carls Jr. I like their burgers that are big, I like that you can always get them as a wrap and skip the 500 calories of bread that normally come with them. I like onions on my burgers as well but I do NOT like the onions they put on theirs, they are the thickest slices of onion a person could put on a burger.

I haven't had one in years but the deceptively simple/greasy 2/3lb monster thickburger has to be top 5 all time fast food burgers.

In my experience the actual burgers are pretty good, and the best ones are the non-gimmicky ones that just look like a McD 1/4 pounder except the meat tastes better.

They have the best breakfast biscuits and I like to get three or four loaded omelet biscuits from the drive through and then sit in my car in the parking lot rubbing them all over my face while silently sobbing.

Carl's Jr Tastes better than Hardee's. It might not make sense but I'll fight anyone who disagrees.

I went to a Hardee's for lunch a few weeks ago and the 1/3 lb Thickburger does NOT taste anything like the Six Dollar Burger that I remember from circa 2003.

WTF happened?

Not sure, but the Hardees near me is super inconsistent in basic quality and always gets orders wrong, so it might just be that the place you went to just sucks?

get a steak biscuit and a side of sausage gravy and pour the gravy over everything.

If you get hash rounds get more gravy for sipping.

Dipping. Or both, autocorrect has a good point.

"You'll never know if you can fly unless you take the risk of falling."
Carl's Jr is a cartoon cheeseburger, just like how Little Caesars is a cartoon pizza.

I do like the beyond famous star and the big carl, but to me, I like the ones with the green/red burrito more because I can get a taco on the side.

I do miss their dessert monstrosities like the pop tart ice cream sandwich and the froot loop donuts though.

I used to like the Monster burger but they're way too expensive for the quality and also the last couple of time I got them the cheese was super gross.

Hardee’s can be great or awful. Depends on who’s working more than any other chain.

Maybe BK is the same actually.

In 1997 Carl's Jr bought Hardee's and Hardee's had to incorporate the star logo into everything so for a year or two Hardee's was handing out star logo things to put on the top of car antennas.

When you have been camping in the desert for 5 days and brought nothing but bread, lentils, beans and nuts you will long for two giant Carl's Jr burgs at the first stop back in the modern world.

I gotta say gently caress carl's jr generally. about everything I liked about hardee's disappeared with that merger or whatever, and all the hardee's here gradually degenerated into carl's jr's's. here's the list of stuff I can't get since then: swiss mushroom burger, frisco burger, omelet biscuit, biscuit and gravy. not available at carl's jr. I didn't even know those still existed till I read this, because I thought they were gone and I thought it was just the same now. no. hardee's is still somewhat different where it exists. I looked at the website. and it still seems good.

thanks for putting guacamole on everything instead, carl, you clueless loving rear end in a top hat. no wonder I'm usually the only one in there (on the rare occasions I go, mind you!) give me back my loving hamburgers, carl, you piece of poo poo.

Oh man, the LTO thread just had me remembering how much I miss pre-Carl Jr's Hardee's so I'm right there with you. The pre-CJ Frisco Burger was a loving masterpiece, a perfect burger. Of course, back then there were two different Frisco burgers. One like the current version and a version that came with lettuce. And my late grandmother loved their Fried Chicken.

JiTB has a sourdough burger that's pretty close, but the closest one to me is like 45 minutes away!

Double western is my downfall.

Apparently the founders went to my church and used to hand out free burger coupons to the people sitting near them.

In fact, this has been the topic of more than one homily.
