At a time when consumers seem to be craving comfort food more than ever, Carl’s Jr. has debuted its new Monster Angus Thickburger at participating locations.
Carl’s Jr.'s new Monster Angus Thickburger is a double-decker burger that big on beef and big on bacon. The new burger starts with two one-third pound charbroiled 100% black angus beef patties. The burgers are layered with four strips of savory bacon, three slices of American cheese, and a dollop of mayonnaise, all served on a premium bun. The result is a meaty creation with two-third pounds of black angus beef.
