Carl’s Jr. is getting faaaaaaaaaancy.
The burger chain is now serving its Bacon Truffle Angus Burger and Bacon Truffle Cheese Fries for a limited time.
The burger features a charbroiled 100 percent Black Angus beef patty topped with truffle-infused cheese sauce, two Applewood-smoked bacon slices, crispy onion strings, Swiss cheese, caramelized onion, and mayonnaise on a toasted sesame seed bun. According to this Forbes article about the burger, the sauce is deep, rich, and savory with notes of garlic, toasted onion, truffles, and aged Parmesan.

Sounds like a much fancier version of McDonald’s mushroom swiss burger and bacon cheese fries xD
There is NOTHING fancy about IMITATION truffle flavored cheese-like sauce. That’s what you get here at the decidedly-deficient Carl’s Jr chain of today now being run by penny-pinching, pocket-lining bean-counters in Tennessee…a long fall from the grace of quality and fair pricing for it that used to be the mainstay insisted upon by the long-gone founder of CKE, Carl Karcher, my first boss ever. At this rate, it won’t be long before Carl’s follows in step to bankruptcy along with the likes of Burger King, another chain that took it’s eye off the ball except for enriching it’s corporate wanks.
