It's the Hardees MonsterThickBurger that is the killer at 1300 calories and 96 grams of fat. Both have the entire days allowance of sodium before you use the salt shaker

OK, marketing dude, I have a food marketing question. Hardees had a Six-Dollar burger a few years ago and that didn't last long. Why would that name work better in the west (where Carl's are) vs. the East (where Hardees are)?

Or maybe they were ahead of their time and re-introducing it now might work.
Or maybe it just wasn't a fit with the rest of Hardees menu. I haven't been in a Hardees for a decade so can't remember the menu.
Or maybe the marketing geniuses at Hardees didn't know how to market it.

They were the second most enjoyable thing I had in Georgia.

No, I do not want to wish our Florida friends good luck.
I want to wish all of our friends good luck, good health and safety, weather* it be a tornado, earthquake, blizzard, hurricane, heat wave, tsunami, severe thunderstorm, flood, mud slide, etc.

NE Ohio must be a strong area for Cholula. I was given Cholula at a IHOP in Akron the other day.
