Let's go to Hardee's

Recommended Posts

I go to Hardee's everytime I go home and get some thickburgers, but yeah, I'd rather get the six dollar one or something with some veggies than that thing. Still, the beef they're using since they went to the thickburger is awesome.

Doesn't Carls Jr. now have a DOUBLE-Six Dollar Burger? I had the six dollar bacon/guacamole burger once, and almost died when I was down to about 3 bites left, I can't imagine trying eat a burger with ANOTHER meat patty stuffed in there.

It's probably the exact same thing. Hardee's and Carl's Jr are owned by the same company. They even have the same logo.

I remember when Hardee's still had the big orange and brown signs.

 

Days of curly fries, Frisco burgers....le sigh

does anyone know if Roy Rogers is still around on the east coast? They're also owned by the same company as Hardees...I lived in DC for about 6 years and they were scattered all over DC, Maryland and Virginia...I loved that place! They served fried chicken as well!

They still have both.

 

The ones in Indiana do, anyway. I'm thinking Hardees has some locally available stuff. NoCalMike said something about a Guacamole burger? What the fuck. Silly californians.

The last time I saw a RR was a few years ago in D.C. I'd bet they are still around, and you can't get any better than fried chicken, biscuits and burgers...

ST. LOUIS - As many fast-food chains introduce healthier fare amid fears of being sued, Hardee’s is introducing a hamburger with 1,420 calories and 107 grams of fat.

 

St. Louis-based Hardee’s Food Systems Inc. on Monday rolled out its Monster Thickburger — two 1/3-pound slabs of Angus beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun.

Jesus Christ that thing sounds enormous. That's a heart attack waiting to happen. I'm still going to get one though.

You should change the words under your avatar to incomprehensible gibberish in order to properly do the gimmick

 

 

 

And i got the feeling the real Don Vito could polish 2-3 of these off in a sitting

Still around. There's 11 in NY (1 on LI about 5 miles away from me, 3 in NYC, the rest being in Thruway rest areas), 3 in CT, a bunch in the DC/Baltimore area, 1 in MA, 9 in NJ, 1 in OH near Cincinnati, and 6 in PA (mostly on the PA Turnpike)

 

mmm.....holster of fries and fried chicken and Gold Rush and roast beef sandwiches and fixin bar....mmmm

and something special for anyone who manages the unthinkable and puts away a whole 96er (6 lb. burger) in under three hours. (That "something special" has yet to be awarded, as no one has so far successfully accomplished the feat.)

 

I would ass fuck this challenge. Start a pool and finance my trip to this location. I'll do it for the honour of The Smart Marks.

Must... resist... urge....

The six-dollar burger, which they made in a variety of different ways. Carl's Jr.'s, or at least most of the ones I've been to, also double as The Green Burrito, a small Mexican food company they bought out sometime ago, so they have some interesting mixes. I personally preferred the Six Dollar Western Bacon Cheeseburger, which is essentially like that Monster burger but slathered in BBQ sauce and bacon and cheese. I'd top that off with crisscut fries and a coke.

 

Fuck, I miss California.

Oh and if you think thats overwhelmingly disgusting..

 

http://www.snopes.com/photos/commercials/bigburger.asp

 

One extreme in the big burger business is represented by Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, which offers several varieties of "large" for the extreme burger enthusiast: a 2-pound Challenger, a 3-pound Baby Boy, and, as displayed in the pictures shown above, a 6-pound Ye Olde 96er (so named because it contains 96 ounces of meat).

 

As advertised on the pub's web site, a 96er sells for $23.95 and includes the following fixings and condiments:

 

    * Two whole tomatoes

 

    * A half-head of lettuce

 

    * 12 slices of American cheese

 

    * A full cup of peppers

 

    * Two entire onions

 

    * A river of mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard

 

Denny's (not to be confused with the national chain restaurants of the same name) offers prizes for customers who can completely consume one of their big burgers within a designated time period: a T-shirt, certificate, and 50% discount for anyone who finishes a Challenger (2 lb. burger) within an hour; a T-shirt, certificate, and 100% discount for anyone who can polish off a Baby Boy (3 lb. burger) in 90 minutes or less; and something special for anyone who manages the unthinkable and puts away a whole 96er (6 lb. burger) in under three hours. (That "something special" has yet to be awarded, as no one has so far successfully accomplished the feat.)

 

A 6 lb burger in 3 hours? You would think those competitive eater contest people would be all over that.

I just heard on the Jim Rome show (of all places) that, purportedly, this last weekend a 100 lb chick from Princeton became the first to eat the 96er.

 

They didn't say what she won though.

Eh, it might take me a few hours, but I'm pretty confident I could down a 96'er. I regularly eat 1.5 pound burgers at a local place called Fat Mo's, so I think I might be ready.

 

I like the Thickburgers too... or I would, if the local Hardees didn't employ the sorriest bunch of worthless losers I've ever seen in my entire life. Just yesterday, it took them TWENTY MINUTES just to fix me TWO burgers. And it's not like this happened during the lunch hour; in fact, I was the only person in the drive-thru the entire time. And then they got the toppings on both of the burgers wrong (despite the fact that the ticket showed what I ordered correctly) and both of the burgers were overdone, too. It's the kind of place you just want to charge into with a baseball bat and start wreaking havoc.

I just noticed that the Snopes link updated for her accomplishment

 

In January 2005, a 100-pound woman became the first person to win the Denny's Beer Barrel Pub challenge when 19-year-old Kate Stelnick of Princeton, New Jersey, downed a six-pound Denny's "96er" hamburger and five pounds of fixins' in 2 hours and 54 minutes, just shy of the three-hour time limit. For her trouble, Ms. Stelnick got a special certificate, a T-shirt, and other prizes, as well as having her tab for the $23.95 burger picked up by the house.

 

Special certificate?
