Here, for a while at McDonald's there was a 🍔 called "the 1955" and it was the best, big pieces of onion, an special sauce, buns and big piece of beef with bacon (for Europe standards anyways) it disappeared once and came back for an encore only to be removed again and never return.

I generally mourn actual Hardee's. There were several things i miss from their menu pre-Carl's Jr.

Oh, you don't mean that Hardee's changed their name, but that some Hardee's menu items have been dropped?

I don't think I've been in a Hardees since the 80's but it wasn't bad.

Hardee's was acquired by Carl's Jr. in the early aughts. The restaurants are still called Hardee's in the south, and they still serve breakfast biscuits, but their lunch menu is basically Carl's Jr. now.

I know that they've had the same parent company back then. Aslo still called Hardee's in the upper Midwest. 3 are still operating in Minneapolis.

I was just commenting that on first read, your comment sounded like all Hardee's were renamed Carl Jr. But it seems like you're saying some menu items changed.

Yeah basically Hardee's is now Carl's Jr. in all but name. It's like how Checkers and Rally's are basically the same place.

I finally went to a Carl’s Junior after decades, and goddamn those are big burgers

Hardee's fried-and-coated-in-cinnamon-and-sugar apple pies.
