My arteries are getting hard just thinking about it.

If they could only batter dip and deep fat fry that bad boy...

And I thought their six dollar burger was good. Can't wait to try one of those babies.

Heaven. And if you're hipro/locarb like me, you can eat it whilst flipping the bird to all the doctors who are warning against it. Eating food like this actually brings my cholesterol down.

Too bad we don't have a Hardee's here. Of course, their food generally tastes like bad ass.

Hardee's was my first fast food job back in South Dakota. While there I learned that if you drop a burger patty on the floor, and then pick it up and put it in the trash, the manager will pull it out of the trash and toss it back on the grill.

"It sanitizes it" she told me.

After she walked away, I tossed it back in the trash (and hid it under a box), then proceeded to clean the grill. If I wouldn't eat it... you didn't eat it (which is why I got fired from most every fast food place I ever worked).

This is the same resturant where a friend of mine cut the tip of her finger off with the roast beef slicer. It ended up in a large pile of freshly sliced roast beef and she didn't have the forethought to dig it out so that they could reattach it before she ran to the hospital.

Again... our manager refused to waste that meat... and someone ended up with the fingertip in their sandwich.

That's the day I quit.

Hardees and Carls Jr are tied together aren't they? You might see that monster show up at the local Carls Jr.

Carl Jr's is friggin' vile!

They were all over Tucson when I lived down there and they were quite good, but up here they're all dirty and nasty and are staffed with people I don't trust to handle my food.

Hardee's food is much better these days. They went through a total reinvention and their menu was completely overhauled. They went the place no one would eat to the place that serves the pricey, good hamburgers. Just because they decided they could.

Weird, but admirable.

And Carl's Jr. is teh ass.

I went to a Hardee's when I was in Richmond, VA a few years back.

I was going to have the pork chop sammich, but then asked the toothless 18 year old beauty queen behind the counter if it was any good.

She looked behind her (to see if her manager was listening) and then said "No... it's not". I asked if the chicken sammich was good and she said "Yeah".

It tasted like ass.

If that was good... I'm totally afraid of the pork chop sammich.

I'm happy to report that pork chop sammich is no more. In fact their menu is pretty simple these days. Outside of the breakfast menu, its hamburgers, chicken sammiches, french fries and soda. They decided doing everything wasn't as a good an idea as doing a few things really well.

If I sound like I'm endorsing them, I am. Hardee's is the only fast food besides Chipotlé and Subway I'll eat. If it's fast burgers, Hardee's is the place.

Who needs Hardees, you guys have Zips and Norm's Burger Barn. The whole subject reminds me of the bad old days workin at C&M (where I met bio) There was a zips on Division within walking distance that had a tripple patty burger with cheese, tartar, bacon AND ham. I'd eat at least one a week, it was heaven.

I guess I'm just not as hung up on physical appearance as you. It's understandable why you would be obsessed with it though; when you have nothing else to offer, physical appearance would be pretty important.
