Carl's Jr used to serve a sandwich called the California roast beef with a nice Ortega chili on it. I liked them a lot and I ate a million of them. They took them off the menu ages ago (sigh).
I have been making just such a sandwich for the past two weeks on toasted french bread with the roast beast and cheddar warmed through but not over melty. Bread slathered with hot mustard and then slathered with finely diced serrano peppers.
OMG!
It’s my damn sangwich, I invented it!
I would put it up against ANY FF sandwich and it takes like 5 min to make.
“They took them off the menu ages ago (sigh).”
As I understand it you can thank the money grubber crowd for that loss. Some time after Carl’s went public the Karcher family lost control of the company that they had created. The new regime was only concerned with money, and any item that didn’t have a high enough return to suit them got eliminated.
When the family ran the firm they generously rewarded their long time employees, whether they were cooks or truck drivers, not just the managers. The new regime rewarded those loyal employees by letting them go.
