Carl’s Jr. owner: Gourmet burgers feed profits
Rivals beef up value menus; CKE lures customers with ‘quality’ meals
NEW YORK - In a departure from its bigger rivals, CKE Restaurants said Wednesday it will continue to focus on its premium-priced burgers in a bid to attract diners fed up with higher prices at casual dining chains.
CKE, which operates the Hardee's and Carl's Jr. chains, said it will continue to promote burgers like the Portobello Mushroom Six Dollar Burger and the $3.99 Philly Cheesesteak Thickburger. Those items were heavily promoted in December when the chain boosted its same-store sales by 1.2 percent systemwide but saw sales drop at Hardee's for the first time since 2006.

All of them are nothing but cheap colon cleansers
However, I will say that a few years ago Hardee's did have a decent 1/3 lb Angus Burger at the Brooksville exit on I-75
