I think I’ll pass on this. Besides when it comes to fast food breakfasts, I’m completely addicted to McDonald’s Sausage & Egg busicut. YUM-O! Or those mini chicken busicuts they have at Chick-Fil-A.

Give me a P.O Box number and I’d pitch in on the reviews that ZangieF suggested. They’re all cheap and sure to garner some good laughs (at least for me).

I live in Georgia and eat KFC. does this make me a bad georgian? probably. but KFC is delicious, and to be truthful, even if it is over priced…everything else is more expensive.

as for eggs, bleck. yuck at eggs. balls though, yum.

Ace: I had some amazing seafood in Maui and the only reason I went to Carl’s Jr. was to nurse a hangover. Still, no big shakes. Portillo’s is where its at!

Ace, I am glad that you sang Seasons of Love and was your “gay moment” but here is La Vie Boheme!

The Country Breakfast Burrito, according to Hardee’s website, is “2 loaded omelets, 5 hashrounds, shredded cheddar cheese and sausage gravy.” From the picture, it looks like a “loaded” omelet means diced up chunks of ham and bacon. I’ve never eaten it myself, but it looks completely vile. Apparently it’s for people who hate their arteries and want a nice 920-calorie breakfast to start their day off right.

Ali – That sucks. What’s Carl’s Jr. without crisscut fries, fried zucchini, and the western bacon cheeseburger? Hardee’s, I guess…but I’m curious…what the heck is a country breakfast burrito with gravy?

Zhu – But you guys have Degrassi: The Next Generation. I’d trade all my Carl’s Jr. for that.

demondoll – They put a few tortilla strips inside, it’s nothing like Taco Bell’s Double Decker Taco(which is, by the way, the best $.99 money can buy).

Agent Scully – I’ve heard that Maui has some of the best fresh seafood around, I can see why the deep fried frozen piece of fish filet that Carl’s serves would disappoint.

I don’t think we have Carl’s Jr. around Chicago, but I did have a fish sandwich from there when I was in Maui last year. Meh.

So they put the corn tortilla inside the flour tortilla? Those copy cats! I remember when Taco Bell did it with their double layer taco thingy. Mmm, Taco Bell… how I miss it.

I liked huevos rancheros some mornings when I was traveling in Mexico. But I stay away from Taco Bell or fake Mexican food here…

When I first came to Canada, I tasted most of the fast food since we don’t have that many in France. Hated them. Especially Taco Bell. So no way I taste this stuff… I don’t even think we have Carls in Canada.

That said, I liked your review!

Ew, those eggs don’t look very appetizing.

Sadly, Hardee’s is not at all the same thing as Carl’s Jr., despite the misleading shared star mascot. The most striking differences? Hardee’s doesn’t make several menu items like the Western Bacon Cheeseburger and CrissCut fries. A lot of other things are either omitted (no fried zucchini or onion rings at Hardee’s, for example) or exhibit regional changes (the Six Dollar Burgers are replaced by Thickburgers; there’s a Country Breakfast burrito with gravy instead of the Huevos Racheros). I learned this lesson after moving away from California and living in Missouri and Tennessee. It was rather disappointing. The star mocks me now…

Marvo – My huevos alone can wrestle a bull. However, no bull has dared to go near them so I guess we’ll never know.

Chuck – I just had a cheesy gordita crunch at 2 am last night. It was for…uh…research.

liz – Come to think of it, that would probably explain why the eggs look like ambiguous genitalia.

Mr. Baggs – I am not familiar with the bible, but if this is true then it sounds like an awesome read.

Karen – Wok and Taco? Is that Chinese/Mexican place? That reminds me of the time my friend wanted to make tacos with orange chicken when he was high.

luckinflux – The crisscut fries are indeed something to behold. The holes allow for maximum oil permeation and by the time you finish the box, you feel as though you are on some type of wonderful drug.

Doodoolicious – I think Hardee’s is basically Carl’s Jr. with a different name, but I’m pretty sure they sell the rancher’s balls burritos on the west coast only. Which is strange, because this is the last place that needs a fast food Mexican burrito.

Shannon – I have never seen RENT, but I did sing “Seasons of Love” in junior high choir. Almost certainly one of the top 5 gayest moments of my life.

ZangieF – Oh no. I’m never trying anything hocked by Billy Mays ever again, especially after I accidentally used Oxiclean in place of parmesan cheese. Cleaned out my stomach in a way I’d rather forget.

It’s worth noting that “rancheros” actually means “in the manner of or pertaining to a rancher” in this situation, though it can actually mean “ranchers” (plural). It does not, however, mean “rancher” as Ace originally said. “Huevos” are eggs, though. I can’t stand alimentos rapidos mexicanos though. Taco Bell is good though… which leads me to another question.

You guys have got to try the Vidalia Slice Wizard (the chopping thing that Billy Mays advertises on TV). Also, try “My Lil’ Reminder” and Mighty Putty.

Yes, I said My. Lil’. Reminder.
