HARDEE’S® INTRODUCES NEW MONSTER THICKBURGER™

HARDEE’S® INTRODUCES NEW MONSTER THICKBURGER™
The New 2/3 lb. Thickburger Takes Decadence to a New Level

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – November 15, 2004 – First there were burgers. Then there were Thickburgers. Now Hardee’s is introducing the mother of all burgers – the Monster Thickburger™. Weighing in at two-thirds of a pound, this 100 percent Angus beef burger is a monument to decadence, yet is still a throwback, as it features lots of meat, cheese and bacon on a bun. Available at all Hardee’s restaurants starting today, the Monster Thickburger is certain to crush the hunger pangs of even the most famished burger lovers.

“Before the introduction of the Thickburger line at Hardee’s, the Monster Burger was one of our most popular menu items,” said Brad Haley, executive vice president of marketing for Hardee’s. “In fact, it’s been one of the most requested items from our old menu. However, we didn’t just bring it back. Since it’s now a Thickburger, it’s even bigger and better than it was before.”

Like all Hardee’s burgers, the Monster Thickburger features 100 percent Angus beef patties. In this case, it’s got not one, but two 1/3-lb. charbroiled patties, topped with no less than four strips of crispy bacon, three slices of American cheese, and some mayonnaise – all on a buttered, toasted, sesame seed bun. The result is an updated version of a classic that requires two hands, a firm grip and a serious appetite.

Available at all Hardee’s locations, the Monster Thickburger sells for $5.49 by itself, or $7.09 for a combo meal including medium fries and a medium drink. Lovers of bodacious burgers can visit www.monsterthickburger.com to download a coupon and learn more about Hardee’s newest menu offering.

Coinciding with the Monster Thickburger introduction, Hardee’s is partnering with NFL players in ten markets to raise money for charity.

I only buy angus certified beef, and yes you can totally taste the difference... there are no hardees around here so I've can't comment on their food (though it doesn't look like I'm missing much!)

No Hardees in Canada that I know of. But McDonalds will kill you just as fast.

I can't wait till someone sues this company, trying to make the case "I didn't know it would make me get fat". Why don't they just call it the Thick-A$$ed Burger?

Then fined them for wasting my time as I slammed the gavel down..
;) Next case.

There's a place up in Milwaukee, WI area(believe it's called Kopp's or something like that) that sells a burger that would put that would put that to shame.

And doesn't Wendy's carry a 3/4 lb. burger that's been around for years?
