-- Hardees/Carl Jr. New Mile High Bacon Thickburger
New at Carl's Jr. and Hardee's, the Mile High Bacon Thickburger features thick-cut Applewood-smoked bacon, a 1/3- or 1/2-pound charbroiled Black Angus beef patty, American cheese, red onion, tomato, lettuce, and mayo, on a toasted fresh baked bun. The burger is only available for a limited time at participating Carl's Jr. and Hardee's restaurants. The suggested retail price starts at $5.59 (may vary). If you're angling to get it in a combo, there's a $1 off coupon on the Carl's Jr. website here and Hardee's website here. The thick-cut Applewood-smoked bacon should be a marked improvement over Carl's Jr.'s standard bacon. Unfortunately, I contacted the company and it won't be replacing their regular bacon on the menu. Other than the bacon, the Mile High is the same as their Original Thickburger. Nutritional Info - Carl's Jr. 1/3-lb.

That's kinda funny and all. But angus is a species of cattle, not a cut of beef. Explaining that would probably be a more effective commercial than making a joke.
The whole "Black Angus" term is pretty meaningless the way it's used. It's a misused/misunderstood marketing term. It has nothing to do with beef quality at all, only the designation of species. Even Certified Angus Beef doesn't refer to the quality in any way. It's a registered trademark and not a beef quality measure. You can still have quality graded Angus just like any other species of beef. But that's a completely separate thing. An Angus or CAB stamp on its own is meaningless outside of designating the species. You can have the absolute worst grade of beef possible, barely fit for human consumption, and still call it Black Angus.

Arc, that's really about right for a bun, actually. Too much bread isn't good. Best to only do bread about once per week, IMO. |
