We finally went to Hardee’s for dinner.  I got the half pound version and my wife got the quarter pound version.  We also ordered a Hot Ham & Cheese sandwich, which we didn’t received.

I would recommend ordering a side of onion rings, we both did this.  The burger has onion rings, but nowhere near as big as the picture shows.  The extra onion rings really added to the burger.

It tasted just like the burgers from the Carl’s Jr. in Yuma, Arizona – which was great as I was hoping it would bring back pleasant memories.  And it did!  Just can’t beat BBQ Sauce, a good cheeseburger, onion rings and bacon.  It really is the perfect ingredients!  Only thing to make it better would have been if there was a double patty burger!

I went through the drive-thru and when I got to the window, I saw that the employees were wearing X-Men : Days of Future Past hats.  The lady wouldn’t sell me a hat, but she may have been under the impression that I wanted her hat.

Also, she did not know when the collector cups were coming out.  I thought they would be out by now, but maybe they are waiting until the movie comes out.  That is when I plan on going back.

. . .

The movie comes out today, in America – its already been out in better countries.  It is getting great reviews.  Also, stay past the credits for a bonus scene.

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.
