Carl's Jr. now in Toronto

Seems one of your American hamburger franchises has ventured north to offer us Canuckians a sampling of U.S.A. cuisine.
Sounds intriguing. What's it like?
I can throw a Carl's Jr. PET in the Cooking Forum next weekend if I get adequate reassurance that I won't suffer food poisoning.

Don't have Carl's Jr around here, but I understand it's similar to Hardee's, same owner. Hardee's sucks goat testicles, which are probably an ingredient in their burgers.

Pretty much the suck.

Guess it's only fair what with Tim Horton's metastasizing in the US.

I think it depends on how stoned you like to get.
If it's "so baked that every drive thru rates three Michelin stars", then you'll love it by default.

Any place 'north" of here... is Canada to me...
I could honestly care less about your "fast food" problems.
Fucking losers.

That's really exciting.
Oh...sorry I was up late last night.
Have there been any WalMart openings? I'd like a PET of one of those too, if you don't mind.

That must be American code for delicious. Five Guys is a joke, $16 for a burger and chips. When they tell you the bill they look right at you and wait, expecting a punch. It's just Wendys.

Not on this side of the country. Still have to make a run for the border to get timbits.

So they actually sent a Hardee's/Carl's Jr up north to you Canadians "eh"?
I would apologize but I find it much to amusing, with luck they'll carpet bomb you with another one of their gastronomical challenges such as The Green Burrito in more than likely the same establishment. Soon you'll fully understand what we American's refer to as the "White Castle" shits and what that's all about.
Enjoy Canucks!

We have a bunch of Carl's Jr.'s here. A few people I know refuse to go there just because of their sexist commercials. They are advertising The Natural Burger. It's probably 8 bucks and there are many more and way better burger joints to go to here.

Nope....not sure who that is. Angelo Burgers has the Big Mouth. They also have killer steak fries & good shakes.

No Carl's in the U&R. Used to see Hardees quite a bit back in the 70-80s, but rarely anymore. I always thought of them as not quite as ghetto as white castle.

Chain burgers are the suck. Every town in America has homegrown burger places. Patronize them.

Put it this way, Phibes -- Carls Jr/Hardees is to Five Guys what Sizzler is to Ruth's Chris.
Clearly better that McD's or the abomination known at Burger King, but still not particularly good.
But I rarely, if ever, eat fast food burgers. For national chains, Five Guys is probably the best. Around here (and I'm guessing just about everywhere else) there's myriad local/regional chains that run laps around any of the national ones.

In&Out is about the only chain I'll cave in to for burgers.
Haven't been to Five Guys, but it's not like I can't get a good burger in several places on the way.

Yup, bacon isn't optional.
They have a veggieburger (originally named the Metrosexual), which naturally comes with... bacon.

When did you have this "conversation" with "Uncle Ed"?
And why are you answering a question that was "specifically" directed at Phibes?
I see that the "nuances" of "conversation" are beyond your "grasp".

For regional burger chains I'll go with Culver's. I started eating at the very first one they ever opened 30 years ago because it new and was on my way home from deer hunting. Now, the're all the way to Florida, Texas, Ohio and Wyoming.
http://cdn.culvers.com/page-content/loc ... -15_lo.pdf
Culver’s has earned its reputation for deliciousness by cooking every ButterBurger to order and crafting every batch of Fresh Frozen Custard throughout the day, same as we always have.
As Craig Culver will tell you, Culver’s ButterBurgers are made the way they are today because that’s how his mom always did it. Still, we use fresh, never frozen 100% Midwest beef, seared to perfection and served on a lightly buttered toasted bun for that extra touch of goodness. Sure, it takes a bit longer doing it that way, but boy is it worth the wait.
Our commitment to crafting the world’s finest Fresh Frozen Custard also remains the same today as when we served our very first scoop. We use the finest real Wisconsin dairy, plus cold-pressed vanilla and Dutch-blend chocolate, and make every batch fresh, right in the restaurant throughout the day.
What is Culver’s Fresh Frozen Custard? Think of it as the most premium ice cream you’ve ever tasted. Wonderfully luscious and rich, it contains less air so it’s creamier and more decadent than ordinary ice cream; and because it’s served at a temperature that won’t freeze your taste buds, you actually experience the flavor longer.
Culver's Mushroom and Swiss ButterBurger and Concrete MixerToday, most anyone who’s ever eaten at Culver’s can vividly recall the first time they bit into a ButterBurger or savored a spoonful of Fresh Frozen Custard. That’s how we know we must be doing something right.

As far as fast food burger joints go, I prefer Culver's over any of them. Wendy's Double Stack for .99 isn't too bad either.
