You remember it like I do. Carl’s Jr used to char broil their hamburgers and they were excellent. Carl used to eat at his stores regularly, and when the owner is a customer the product is going to be good.
IMO the quality started going downhill before Carl died. That began when he lost control of the company to the MBA crowd that runs it today. All they were interested in is short term dollars. Cut back quality, lower the payroll, crank out soft porn ads aimed at teenage males. That’s their formula.
I tend to agree.
Hardee’s in our area are like K-Mart...zombie stores.
Hard to figure out how they keep the lights on given the obvious low traffic count.
Some folks tell me they do well early morning breakfast time, not sure I’m usually at home then.
