I loved those too. Used to work for Carl’s Jr. When you made those sandwiches, you were required to use 1 can of chilies for X amount of sandwiches. So once you opened a can, you had to make up X number of sandwiches and keep them in the fridge. Heated in a microwave when needed. They did not skimp on those. Even had a quality assurance inspector visit the stores. One of the things he would do was to inspect the sandwiches already made up. Points off if meat weight or chili weight and coverage were not within range. If he found one, no big deal, just do better. But if he found 4, that dropped your score almost a whole grade. You could almost kiss your job goodbye if you ended up in the low 70’s by the end of the inspection.
Carl’s had very strict quality assurance procedures back in the 1970’s when I worked there. After I moved, I craved the Famous Star Hamburger, but there were no Carl’s Jr’s here.
But just a year or 2 ago, Hardee’s started serving the Famous Star Hamburgers too. When I tried one, I was surprised that it had the taste I remembered 40 years later.
Good job Carl’s. I look to see if they are bringing back the California Roast Beef sandwich every time I go there.
Food & Wine magazine? Wow that’s almost as humorous as a neuvo bougalaise review of last years “casking”....hahahaha please pass the... whatever that strawberry mushroom thingy on the croissant is...
Can anyone think of a reason to get one again?
The price of beef? But you can make a grill out of a grocery cart and couple of cinder blocks I don’t know if having or not having a grill makes any difference but Kettle girls are nice for this type of cookie8. I’ve done cows on rebar before.
“Pork shoulder”
I like dry bbq with a marinated jerk rub
Or dry smoked pork turned into chili verde... HOT chili verde on a southern fried asphalt parkin’ lot kind of day...with black french roast coffee (cuz I’m a international kind of guy).
My memory is expecting a boneless piece of meat from a BBQ rib. Instead I got a sausage patty pressed into the shape of a mini-rack or ribs.
I used to love those! They actually still had them down here until right before covid.
