Tolerable chain fast food?

I remember that Hardees would give you free fries with your Jazz ticket if the Jazz won and kept the opponent below 100 points.

When I was in high school Utah Carls Jr. places were called Hardees. Karl Malone advertised for them, you may recall. I used to love the Hardees "Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger" or "UBC" as we called it.

the burger was served on a hoagie-style bun and I swear it had to be at least 1800 calories alone, but we always ate it with fries and a shake just in case we needed to expend 3500 later that evening.

Those are called Western Bacon Cheeseburgers now. Good stuff.

Hardees and Carl's Jr. were different when you were in high school. But there weren't any CJs in northern Utah. CJ's bought Hardees in 1997. Now you know.

Also, I remember CJ's being a dine-in restaurant a-la Denny's back in the mid 80s in Mesa, AZ.

Fast food nerd alert!

hardee's cinnamon raisin biscuits. those were (are?) very tolerable.

There was a CJs off Ft. Union by Alberstons that opened when I was still in HS, 95 or 96. You are absolutely correct that it was not the same as Hardees though as there was one of those a few blocks away. I remember when Mailman was their pitchman in Utah they started selling fried chicken and had this peach cobbler that came with the meal that was actually pretty good.

I seem to remember making Hardee's fried chicken references when the Jazz and the Bulls were playing in the NBA Finals.

Just like Mama used to make.

My mom was a big fan of the curly fries at the Hardee's in Idaho Falls. It was her go-to fast food place. When they discontinued the curly fries, she prophetically told them they would soon go out of business. A year or two later, Hardee's was gone.

Wait until JL comes and says his bs detector is going off because he's heard multiple iterations of this same story.

Plus a woman prophet? Lol, we don't swing that way in Mormonism.

Never heard that story in my life.

You need to study the gospel, son!

That's why I told him to wait. It's going to be a while.

Actually that's great advice for everyone, not just HFN. As we make studying the gospel a lifelong pursuit we'll not only gain a better understanding of the Lord's plan for us, but we'll also find peace and joy.

I can't tell you if this place was tolerable or not, because even as a teenager I couldn't bring myself to try out a 39 cent burger. Hot N Now (my username in other forums) sprouted up all over the place seemingly overnight and they were all gone within a couple years.

I love the MTV quick cut editing method of this commercial, seemingly every commercial from the mid 90s was like this.

Anyone ever try Quaker Steak? I just had 10 of their triple atomic wings. I have a t-shirt to prove it. I just blew things out of my nose that have probably been there since the early 80's.

Yes. Those are some hot wings. The one here in town recently closed.
