Makes no sense. Nothing is better without bacon!

I get commercials for these Carl's all the damn time, but there's none within like 50 miles of me.

Half this list works well with bacon. Did you just post random stuff?
Try this
On topic, I'd totally go for a chicken version of this thickburger. They usually have that option and I gotta cut back on the beef.

Very hit&miss. Sometimes they use Canada as a testbed, sometimes we get it years later.
To be fair, Carl's Jr. Only has like 3 locations in BC. Maybe. So chances are high they will get these. Hopefully.

Hardee's lost me years ago with the whole $10 thickburger thing. Their breakfast is tip top though.

I tried this burger a few days ago when I was in Springfield, IL a few days ago. At first I wanted to try western bacon cheese burger to compare with Cali burger to realize that this burger is only on the hardees menu for a limited time. the employee mentioned texmex burger, tried it, and it was good. burger has slight heat from the peppers and sauce. but the burger was tasty in my opinion.
I saw it on GAF, and knew I had to have it. I've always liked Hardees. It's expensive, sure. It's also one of the most calorific fast food places in existence, but I didn't care. Something made me want this Tex Mex burger badly. I decided I would go the next day, but alas, the nearest Hardees was 4.8 miles away and driving there would mean giving up my amazing street parking spot in Minneapolis on Homecoming friday. That would not do. I knew, I would be walking.
And I did.
I set my alarm for 9am on Friday. I overslept. I was tired, I had a late night before, and I just couldn't pry myself out of bed. I though that I would just sleep today, and get the burger some other time.
NO! My brain volted me upright. You want this burger, so get it. Unfortunately, the body and brain were not on the same page at the same time, as I snoozed until 11am. But then I knew, it was time to go get lunch. Time to go earn it.
I walked the 4.8 miles to Hardees. It seemed like 10 miles alone. Sweat dripped down my brow as I cursed the news for it's conservatively low weather forecast. After walking until my knees ached, I was there. Time to order.
It was not an easy order. The cashier was enamored by my English accent, and even brought a co worker out to hear me. I was in no mood. I wanted that juicy piece of meat between my lips. I was offered curly fries. I agreed. My food was finally here.
The curly fries were the first to go. They stood no chance. They were as curly as the name suggested, and fresh out the oil. They crunched between my teeth, and were followed into my gullet by swift gulps of diet coke. All gone. Time for the main course.
There she was. In all her glory. In all my excitement for a new Hardees burger, I hadn't even looked at what was in it that made it so special. I noted the bacon, peppers and onions, a sauce. It looked good. I whipped out the tomatoes of course, I am no savage, and then I tucked in.
It was tasty. Very tasty. Hell, it was delicious. One of the very best fast food burgers I have ever eaten, maybe even top 5 of all time. Crunchy, juicy, a little tangy and fresh. What a ride.
Would I buy it again? I'm not sure. Sometimes moments in life are so fantastic you don't want to repeat them, lest the original memory be distorted. I think that's where this burger will stay, in my mind, as a beautiful memory.
I filled my cup with a cherry coke for the road, and left. The sun beat down even hotter than before. These 5 miles home with a full belly would be taxing. Thankfully, stopping in to Goodwill on the way home would save my spirits.
A good day.
And I did.

This sounds good. I have never walked to grab a burger. If anything I go to Five Guys because they're relatively new here in the sense that there wasn't one 8 years ago. I do go for a burrito every now and then, but Hardee's isn't something I've had in a long time. I remember in the 90's they had a large selection of chicken and so forth. They were known for their large texas toasts and melts IIRC.
As a kid I never ate fried chicken at restaurants except Hardee's. Maybe it was because my father knew more than I did. The last Hardee's I remember was near the interstate next to a truck stop. Other than that I'm closer to KFC and Popeye's.
I guess you could count Arbey's. I use to go there for their mocha shakes all the time. It's just over the years I started to eat at home more. This sandwich does look good, but I typically eat hamburgers or brats with peppers.
I do crave those Texas toast breakfast sandwiches. They look good, but are terrible for your diet.

I went to the Carl's here in Toronto and it was... okay. What's the best burger? It's hard to justify going there over some of the other burger joints but I might give it another try
Days like these...
Have a Blessed Day
As a native Texan I take offense to Santa fe sauce in a 'Tex-Mex burger' and we use jalapeños not poblano peppers. They should have called it the New Mexico Burger but I guess it just doesnt have that same ring to it.

Carl's keeps putting out these burgers and I just keep eating the double western bacon because why would I eat something other than that glorious wondrousness?
Wish mine had curly fries, though, those look damn good.

I make a Billionaire's Frank and Beans using pablanos and I absolutely love them. Of course, they are cooked and simmered in the stew. They give off a pretty good heat, though.
Whatever burger Hardee's puts out can't possibly be worth the $7 -$9 dollars that they generally charge for them. I'll go to Red Robin at that price.

Double Western is the king, but this looks good.
