To celebrate the birthday of Carl's Jr. founder Carl Karcher, on the 16th January you'll score a free California Classic Double Cheeseburger with a purchase.

This BOGOF offer is available at all stores and exclusive via the 'My Carl's' App:

Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mycarls/id1494882749

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AppInstitu…

FYI:

  • Carl's Jr is not a burger clone, timeline: 1940 McDonald's, 1941 Carl’s Jr. then way later, 1953 Burger King (our HJ’s).
  • Carl's Jr burgers are 'chargrilled', unlike HJ's 'flamegrilled'.
  • The burgers are BETTER at Carl's. Try the Angus burger range and taste for yourself.
  • I do NOT work or am associated in anyway to Carl's Jr. other than being a fan.

    I love the idea of American fast food. Not enough to drive all the way to West Lakes or Mr Barker just for a free burger though.

      Apparently these are very similar to Hungry Jacks. I wish we had In and Out, Five Guys, or Smashburger here just to name a handful of American fast food burger chains. Their McDonalds is basically inedible though.

        I just heard on the radio an Australian talking to a US host and the host said McDonald's in Australia is great, it looks like the pictures and tastes good, but in the US McDonald's looks like it was recovered from an Egyptian tomb or something.

          Can confirm American McDonald's is horrific

            @starspawn: I second this. Their “Chicken” is trash and dry. Their Burgers are no burgers. Shows how Australia takes their food standards seriously.

            Their soft serve is assss.

            Though I rate their buttermilk hotcakes. I prefer theirs than ours.

          • Mugsy on 06/01/2021 - 10:23

            @starspawn: You've all got me curious now.

            Not that I've done too much international travel but it's tradition for me to give Maccas a try in the different countries I venture to in order to gauge consistency of the product around the world. So far, I've had them in Singapore, UAE and China over the past 14yrs and the quality is pretty consistent.

            I'm hoping travel to NZ will be possible this year… could give Maccas there a try then. But I'm now curious at how horrendous Maccas is in the US (I'm wondering if it's more inedible than the El Maco I recently had on a late night maccas run).

            Carls Jr I've only had at the Brisbane Domestic Airport and it was OK but not brilliant… it's not replacing Betty's Burgers or some of my local eateries as my venues of choice when I want a good burger.

          • Seaword on 06/01/2021 - 13:48

            @starspawn: The gap between KFC here and there is even worse.

          • scud70 on 16/01/2021 - 11:54

            @starspawn: Yep absolutely rubbish over there and so is Carls jr and some of the massive chains that are mentioned above… outside the chains some of the best burgers I’ve had have been in US …

        After trying 5 guys in America I would pay money not to eat that cardboard again. Maccas here is way better

      • Autonomic on 06/01/2021 - 12:36

        They're much better than HJs IMO.

      • abuch47 on 06/01/2021 - 12:47

        good to see global consistency from maccies

      They announced new stores like 2 years ago, one at Elizabeth and a few other places in SA.
      I assume they are waiting for the right land to buy.

      Honestly best burger in SA are the XConvenience ones, $10 large combo is the best price vs burger quality.

    the one time i tried them the meat was like a dried out hunk of playdoh

  • JuryWheel on 06/01/2021 - 09:40

    Without googling, I couldn't tell you the difference between chargrilling and flame grilling the meat….

    Question, how many of these chains actually cook the meat in store vs reheating it?

    • AustriaBargain on 06/01/2021 - 09:48
      +2

      Answer: All of them. Cooking raw meat patties is the easiest thing in the world and there is no reason to pre-cook them.

      • JuryWheel on 06/01/2021 - 10:07

        Interesting, I assumed Macca's brought them in precooked and then put them on the conveyor belt to reheat/colour

        • AustriaBargain on 06/01/2021 - 10:24
          +1

          McDonald’s, and I’m guessing all of them, get the patties in as frozen raw patties, 100% beef (about 80% lean). You put the rock solid frozen patties on the grill and cook them. McDonald’s have clamshell grills that do both sides at once.

          Some places like Grilled might form their meat patties in store out if unfrozen minced meat, I wouldn’t know.

          • swimmingtoad on 06/01/2021 - 12:06

            @AustriaBargain: Grill'd use uncooked frozen patties also.
            (Based on a podcast I listened to a while back)
            They use tomato sauce in the patties when freezing as they reckon it makes them nicer when cooking.

            • Nomad2233 on 06/01/2021 - 17:44
              +1

              @swimmingtoad: As a previous 5 year McDonalds grill bitch, they are indeed received frozen and we’d put them on the grill for 14 seconds.

              Cheeseburger meat is called 10:1
              Quarter pounder meat is 4:1
              And Angus meat is 3:1

              Meat had to be chucked after 20 minutes in the open, surprisingly good standards when I worked there.

              I still don’t know what the parts mean though.

              On another note nuggets were the most annoying to cook, we’d only have two vats for nugs and you can only cook a bag at a time (20 nuggets) so if there’s ever a rush you’re (profanity).

                +1

                @Nomad2233: 10:1 means 10 to 1 pound ie they weigh 1/10th of a pound. 4:1 patties weigh 1/4 of a pound, which is why they are used on the quarter-pounder.

              • AustriaBargain on 16/01/2021 - 12:08

                @Nomad2233: Apparently quarter pounder patties are cooked fresh now, instead of from frozen.

          • DMFD on 16/01/2021 - 11:45

            @AustriaBargain: Maccas use clam shell grill… HJs/BK use the a conveyor belt to flame grill.

      Not by some accounts here. Hjs is trash and it has been compared to hjs multiple times here. We have decent burger shops around now

    The iOS app seems pretty average. You log in but you still see “sign up” on the home tab and my account tab. No idea on prices either as it’s not in the app.

  • cornucopia on 06/01/2021 - 12:25

    Very like HJs in my experience, perhaps a tad tastier, so about 100% better than McDonald's trashburgers .. :-( .. !! Usually the fast food outlets with the cleverest social media and marketing schtick don't have the best product, not by a long way.

      Wiki says
      In 1956, Karcher opened the first two Carl's Jr. restaurants – so named because they were a smaller version of Carl's Drive-In Barbecue restaurant

    If you are in Brisbane I'll put in a plug (not associated in any way, just miss being able to go there!) to the best burger place I've been to in Australia - "Just Poppys" in Riverhills. Almost worth a trip to Brisbane (except for borders being closed) just to go get a burger there!

  • [Deactivated] on 16/01/2021 - 12:04

    These burgers are junk. I ordered the special Angus burger, I'm not sure if they put the wrong meat on, but it tasted exactly like a whopper. It was $30 for the meal including a milkshake. A Double Quarter pounder meal from Mcdonalds for half that price would have been much tastier.

  • TEER3X on 16/01/2021 - 12:24

    These remind me of In and Out, not too bad, especially for $6 for 2 right now.

    If you want a gourmet burger, look elsewhere, avoid the big fast food chains.

  • muncan on 16/01/2021 - 12:41

    Cheaper and smaller than I was expecting. $6.95 for two. Tasty, but a bit cold so I’m guessing they made a big batch in advance.
