Isn't present day Carl's Jr. just Hardee's by another name? Hardee's began as a burger joint as well.
According to research from the University of Guelph, hotdogs are comparatively uncommon in fast food because hotdogs are harder to cook consistently and have a shorter window of enjoyability which makes them less suited to fast food than hamburgers.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> Isn’t present day Carl’s Jr. just Hardee’s by another name? The corporate parent of Carl’s Jr. bought Hardee’s in 1997, but Carl’s stayed pretty much the same.
- fiddlerwoaroof 4y agoI think Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. were bought by the same company and then evolved towards each other.
- bombcar 4y agoCarl's Jr was 'transferred' to CKE (Carl Karcher Enterprises) which then acquired Hardees, and Hardees became Carl's Jr in everything but name (as far as I can tell). What was interesting is the absolute numbers: The "merger" created a chain of 3,828 restaurants – 3,152 Hardee's outlets in 40 states and 10 foreign countries and 676 Carl's Jr. outlets primarily in California.
- bombcar 4y agoYeah, I was thinking of the ubiquity of "street food hot dogs" which are now basically gone (Costco still has hot dogs, however, and baseball stadiums are required to have hot dogs).

- bombcar 4y agoThat’s just it - health code enforcement got better and now you can’t feed people sawdust and rat.
