FAST FOOD NEWS: Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s Baby Back Rib Burger

Carl s Jr Hardee s Baby Back Rib Burger

Update: We reviewed it! Click here to read our review.

You couldn’t see me, but moments ago I was standing up and applauding Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s new Baby Back Rib Burger. Just when I think they’re running out of ideas, the sister fast food chains drop this onto our laps and splash barbecue sauce everywhere.

The Baby Back Rib Burger features real, boneless, baby back ribs from Bubba’s-Q Boneless Ribs that are charbroiled and dipped in Cattleman’s Original BBQ Sauce. The burger also comes with a charbroiled beef patty, crispy onion strings, and pickles on a premium, brioche-style bun.

The burger is available for a limited time at participating locations nationwide on April 26.
