But I hate their commercials

As healthy as I’ve tried to be the past few years, there are some things I can’t help. Namely, Carl’s Jr. hamburgers. I love them. In fact, I’ve even tried to find better stuff from non-fast food entities, and I can’t. Carl’s Jr. dominates.

the jalapeño burgerTheir latest masterpiece: The Jalapeño Burger. I had one the other day, and wasn’t too sure how it would be. I’m normally kind of afraid of really hot stuff, and their commercial made it look like it was pretty hot. Now, that’s always funny because when fast food places want you to think something’s hot, it usually isn’t anything close to hot. But if someone was going to drop the hotness hammer, it would be Carl’s Jr. Well, it was decently hot, but not too much to turn me off of it. Ultimately, it wound up reminding me a lot of jalapeño poppers with the spicy sauce they put in the middle of them. The burger was magnificent. And now I’ve made several of my readers totally sick, which is awesome.

Hmmm…interesting typo there, eh?

“You didn’t make me sick…just hungry!” is how that should read! ;)

That is almost, ALMOST, enough to entice me to eat a fast food burger.

Alas, we do not have Carl’s Jr. here where the corn grows. And I am confused by the apostrophe in their name.

I may have already said something like this, Peg, but they are phenomenal. I think they’re the same as Hardees out where you live. The apostrophe doesn’t make much sense to me, either, unless it’s there due to some sort of name evolution. The guy who started the place was named Carl Karcher. Maybe it was Carl’s, then later the Jr. got added on? Who cares. The burgers kick ass.
