While I didn't find myself scrambling to unsnap my uncomfortably-stifling garters or mopping at my perspiration-misted cleavage à la Miss Upton, the Southwest Patty Melt's jalapeños do bring a mild, mellow heat. More
In grand Carl's Jr./Hardee's tradition of making commercials featuring attractive women eating burgers in exaggeratedly sensual ways—Paris Hilton, Padma Lakshmi, Audrina Patridge, and Miss Turkey—model Kate Upton stars in this commercial for their latest burger, the Southwest Patty Melt topped with jalapeño slices, grilled onions, pepper Jack cheese, and spice Santa Fe sauce on grilled sourdough bread.

Finally, the Hamburger God has revealed himself. His name is Hamblor and he has the power to shoot onion strings out of his hands and shatter a blue cheese-based bust of himself by using his mighty voice. Like any good god, he has nubile, burger-loving goddesses by his side and rides on a monstrously huge St. Bernard bearing a cask of A.1. sauce around his neck. You can join his kingdom on September 28 for the chance to rise to immortality win free burgers and other prizes from Carl's Jr. and Hardee's. More
As they're wont to do, Carl's Jr. is promoting their new line of charbroiled turkey burgers with a commercial featuring a bikini-clad woman eating a burger.

I took the bait and stopped by to see how this new burger compares to its beauty shots. More

To promote their new Philly Cheesesteak Burger (a burger topped with thinly sliced steak, sautéed green bell peppers and onions, and American and Swiss), Carl's Jr. made these cute stop motion videos featuring the signing of the Declaration of... More
[Photograph: Foodbeast] If thick burgers seem passé, make way for...long burgers. Carl's Jr. (and Hardee's, it seems) is testing a new Footlong Cheeseburger in select locations around the country. As Foodbeast and Fast Food Maven note in their reviews,... More
Yeah, that's not confusing. Since this question keeps popping up in the chain burger polls, I figured I would address it in a separate post (and thus give me something to refer to every time someone asked this question): Are... More
