Shadow and Flame with Magik

I tried to find a picture with the Hardee’s logo but the Internet let me down.

Since moving to Montana from Arizona, one change I had to get used to was the differences between Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s.

Now, people will tell you, there are no real changes.

They would be wrong.

I don’t mean like how Carl’s Jr. has Mountain Dew and Hardee’s has Mellow Yellow.  Though I am sure that is more of a Southwest / Northwest issue.

Gone from my favorites are the Double Western Burger (also the regular Western Burger) and the Captain Crunch Milkshake.

As far as I can tell, Hardee’s doesn’t have any menu items that Carl’s Jr. has, so it is a downgrade.

Which is why I am excited about the partnership between FOX’s X-Men : Days of Future Past and Hardee’s.  The Western X-Tra Bacon ThickBurger is just the Western Burger but with bacon (they are not hiding that fact).  A sandwich I haven’t had in five years.

I haven’t gone for lunch but I was able to go for breakfast.

I like that they a found a way to incorporate the bacon theme to a breakfast sandwich.

No fast food restaurant beats Hardee’s in terms of biscuits.  Their bacon tasted crisp and it almost too much bacon – if such a thing is even possible.  I had pieces of bacon fall off that I was able to place back where it should have been.

Overall, a good way to start the day.  Not sure when I will make it over there for lunch or dinner but I will before May.

For us, it cost like $2.59 each but we had one of those awesome Hardees’ coupons where you buy one and get one free.
