Carl's Jr. Testing a "Footlong Cheeseburger"

Carl’s Jr. Testing a "Footlong Cheeseburger"

July 10, 2010 // 12:55 pm // By: Elie Ayrouth

Carl’s Jr. simply couldn’t sit still too long while KFC hopped into the sandwich game with their Double Down from days ago. It looks like they’re trying to make some waves with this new “Footlong Cheeseburger” they’re testing out at one of my local Santa Ana, CA, locations. The sandwich comes along with some chuckles, to say the least. It sells for $4 (the plain cheeseburger), and the deluxe is set at $4.50 (comes with all the fixings, lettuce, tomatoes, onions). The combo meals are set at $6.50 for the cheeseburger version and $7.00 for the deluxe footlong.

The 12-inch burger is wrapped like a sandwich, and sticks out of most of the to-go bags offered up at the location, so it was definitely an interesting sight. I’m not sure how well the burger will fair, it’s basically just a few patties and ingredients mimicking a sub sandwich, which may end up not helping its overall appeal. The dough on the bread seems a little off, but the execution of the entire sandwich still remains interesting and I’m intrigued to say the least. As for the patty, it actually consists of smaller individual patties, instead of one larger piece (which may have earned it some more “craziness points“). Maybe they will make some modifications if they decide to roll this burger out nationally. Until then, what do you guys think of the pictures, or if you’ve tried it yourself, please share your thoughts with us!

Edit #1 (07/14/10) : We’ve compiled a quick video of the sandwich, it’s viewable here for those interested in getting a bit more footage of the footlong.

Edit #2 (07/14/10): An employee at the location we got the sandwich from “guesstimated” that the sandwich has actually been available at their location for almost 3 weeks, apparently our food blogging was a bit behind! Oh well, better late than never. She also shrugged when I asked her how the sandwich has been doing, which leads us to believe it’s had a rather mixed reception thus far.

It was like a famous star….but longer, and less tasty bread.

And people seiously wonder why we're the fattest nation? I'm so glad I'm a vegetarian now.

It just sounds more obnoxious, to be realistic, it's probably no less crazy than getting a footlong at Subway of Pastrami, Carne Asada, etc., with sauce and cheese. I think it's fair to think of this new sandwich in that sense..

Neat, but they'd have to nail the bread to make the thing appealing.

Agreed.

That is the most unappealing and unappetizing thing I have ever seen, besides the double down. It looks gray, like there is no color to that nasty sandwich. This is why America is obese.

Thank g-d I'm a vegetarian. Eating dead animal doesn't appeal to me whether or not it's served on a 'foot long'. YUK>

Actually, I think America is obese because we just don't walk enough. America was built for driving.
I've been in France for the past two months and really… They don't eat much better. I am desperate for vegetables and fruits here. In a nutshell, the French diet consists of baguettes, cheese, wine, ham, and eggs. With a bunch of cream or mayonnaise. Really not much less fatty.
Guest

We aren't the fattest nation actually. Also, you do realize that there is a difference in the protein in meat then in beans right? They aren't the same thing, you still need to eat the protein in meat for your brain to function and develop (in non-adults) properly.

As for the burger, it looks pretty awful, but mostly thats because the meat is over cooked, and there is far to much bread.

Okay, only 3rd fattest nation – but behind 2 tiny Pacific islands (http://www.expatify.com/news/the-worlds-top-10-…)

Smugness isn't appealing. To quote from an ad I saw recently “Thank goodness for vegetarians – leaves more meat for the rest of us”.
Dave J.

I'm not really sure the stuff between those two buns qualifies as “meat.”
http://twitter.com/partiallypro Josh Fields

It's not that bad of a deal, you could get this for kids, and slice it in 3 and it's actually a really good deal. I bet it's less fattening than most people think it is…
Cynthia Fawcett

For the most part, the critical difference between beans and meat is not the protein, it's the levels of fat. Meat (and most animal derived proteins) contains high levels of saturated fat (about 16 grams per patty) and no fibre. Saturated fat is linked directly to cancer, heart disease and stroke.

Beans, on the other hand, contain almost no fat (about 1 gram per cup) but are loaded with fibre which is shown to fight heart disease and reduce cancer.

From a science and health perspective, beans are, without argument, better for you than beef.

Someone's got their meat-apologist talking points sheet ready to go.

There are several amino acids in proteins that humans need. We need them every day. Meat contains all of these amino acids. Vegetables don't. However, it's pretty simple to get a complete protein from vegetable sources – rice and beans, for instance, are a complete protein. There are even slices of bread that offer complete protein. This is not as insurmountable a problem as meat-eaters would make it seem.

I'm a red blooded American, who has absolutely no fear of the grill. Heck, have you ever done a meatloaf on the grill…. how about a chuck roast? MMmmmmmm MEAT!!! Gimmie more! lol! I would try the burger, if there was a Carl's around in my area. Unfortunately, there isn't. But there is a Burger Thing (King) nearby … and I do go there for their quad cheeseburgers and triple whoppers… oh, and the occasional double steakhouse burger.

So, these veggieheads…. I guess they like beanburgers and tofu burgers… bah. Not me … Give me a bigh ol hunk of fresh beast and I'll grill it … with grilled / baled potato and steamed green beans ( on the grill of course )

Oh, I'm from Wisconsin, I'm 6'1, 245lbs, heavy on the muscle…… and I approve this message.

I love how at first the fast food chains were going with, “lets do the healthy thing” with salads and less calories. Now it is, lets see who can make the most disgusting, high calorie heart attack sandwich. Its pathetic and even more pathetic are the people ordering them.

It looks delicious, but my stomach and colon can no longer tolerate such a thing. I think I got this way from over-indulging all these years. Of course we didn't have footlong cheeseburgers, but Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese and Triple Whoppers are pretty much the same thing and they've been around for awhile. Not to mention all the greasy fast-food I've eaten in excess in countless places over the years. These days I have to take 2 different prescriptions twice a day just to alleviate my heartburn. If I don't, consuming something simple like drinking only ice water will give me heartburn. I also have to dose up on laxatives and stool softeners on occasion because I'm chronically constipated. I've never had these issues before. My advice to people, please enjoy this stuff in moderation. You might live to regret it like I have and I'm only 39 years old.

Vegetarian drama…Really? It's an article about a foot-long cheeseburger. Logically, a vegetarian would simply ignore this as they do not partake. The only reason for a veggie-head here is to smugly condescend to meat eaters. Why is it that individuals who make the personal choice to stop smoking, become vegetarians/vegans and the like feel the need to preach to those who do not? Please–get a life. Freedom of choice–it's not just for inadvertently pregnant hedonists!!

Ha, no. American people are obese because they don't exercise. You can pretty much eat, what ever you want as long as you exercise once a day.
Oh, and I would just adore it if people would stop singling out America as being the fat country. I'm more then sure that Europe has its share of obese people in it.

Americans are world champions in eating processed food. The average american housewife is warming up in the micro wave oven food which has been manufacored in factories. Only a minority is buying natural food like vegetable, fish and meat in markets and cook it at home. 1/3 of their population is obese.

no food is really better for or worse for you. your body still needs nutrients from meat and from vegetables like beans. if you only eat vegetables, your body misses out on a lot of stuff that it needs to properly function. you could actually get sick by not eating enough meat if you do not get the nutrients in meat from other sources. so you can't really compare two foods because eating a variety is the best way.

fucking really? wow. so what your saying is I shouldn’t only eat vegetables (which i don’t) for all you meat eaters…us vegetarians ..eat other things as well! yea, it’s true. I know, amazing right. That there is something other than vegetables to eat, that ISN’T meat. Lets see we eat nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, peas, boca (meatless) burgers, the infamous vegetables, grains, soy products, wheat, bagels, oatmeal, tofu, toast, soup, stews, cornbread, muffins, etc. Now, to get back on the subject, of what you are saying. So we are missing someone from not eating meat. Is it the fatty acids? Because it sure as hell can’t be the protein. I haven’t gotten ‘sick’ from not eating meat infact my skin is clearer, i’ve lost a few pounds, i am energized throughout the day, am not tired and feel like i have to re-fuel. and you CAN compare the two foods. beans is obviously a better choice.

Here's comes more smugness, this time from the other direction: the Atkins diet true believer. Say what you want, but every time I have gone on the Atkins Diet and adhered to its principles, I have lost 50, 60, 70 pounds. Everytime I have gone off the Atkins Diet, I have gained back those same 50, 60, 70 pounds. Well, all of you nay-sayers and supposed experts be damned, I guess I have to stick with it for life to stay healthy. Whatever. I'd rather eat meat than drop dead, thanks.

So, from my perspective, the problem with this sandwich is not the meat patties, the problem is clearly the WHITE BREAD BUN!!!! Okay, I know you're all rolling your eyes at this point because what I am saying goes against everything you've ever been taught. I don't care, I know what I know. Proof in the pudding, so to speak. Honestly, I would only eat this sparingly (without the bread) because I am much better off eating meat that is NOT PROCESSED (steaks, roasts, whole chickens grilled, whole fish grilled with skin on). The Atkins diet is not about eating nothing but hot dogs and baloney, thank you very much.

I would put the health factor of my dinner last night (steak, salad and chicken wings, not breaded, baked not fried) again any vegetarian you'd care to name. I had a friend who once became a vegetarian to “be healthy” but he ate nothing but sugar-laden soda, cheese pizza and whole bags of candy. Clearly, he got fatter. All I am saying is, there's healthy eating and unhealthy eating, and vegetarianism is not necessarily better for, and low carb eating is not necessarily bad for you. It all depends on CONTEXT and the actual foods you eat.

I haven't gotten 'sick' from not eating meat infact my skin is clearer, i've lost a few pounds, i am energized throughout the day, am not tired and feel like i have to re-fuel. and you CAN compare the two foods. beans is obviously a better choice.

EVIL VEGETARIANS: Hitler (part time vegetarian), Ghengis Khan, Charles Manson, Pol Pot, William MacDonald

ps. get your facts straight. Hitler was known as a 'part time' vegetarian. He at times chose to go periods of not eating meat to relieve his irritable bowel syndrome. So just because you go a few weeks without meat, most likely because your doctor said not to, DOES NOT mean you are a vegetarian.
Legume

God, did not 'intend' for us to be vegetarians. We just do not agree with animals being killed for our processed food in the most inhumane ways. It is a choice we made, to not be associated with that.
Legume

let me guess, you also have a pabst in your right hand, and a marlborro in your left. Let me say my goodbye’s now. because soon you’ll be dying from intaking so much PROCESSED meat. Or god will just strike you dead, from harming his precious animals…because its what ‘americans’ do. rnrnyes, go meat.

TheDude

Legume, ever raise your own meat? I sure have, best to be had, it’s called a locker, look it up, it’ll get you away from those “PROCESSED meats” maybe you could enjoy something rather than a radish sandwich or a big bowl of veggies for a change. Oh and, “Or god will just strike you dead, from harming his precious animals…” if you want to get into the whole “god” thing than lets, he wouldn’t have put them here and gave up a taste for them if he hadn’t intended for us to eat them, plain and simple.

Legume

Yes I agree. Fucking work out, and eat properly in proportions. AND in proportions doesn’t mean instead of getting a deluxe bacon cheeseburger with extra mayonnaise, you get a jr. bacon cheeseburger easy on the mayo. I don’t even know where you can get what i just described….im sure someone will know.

You seem to have missed the joke. I blame a lack of Vitamin-Meat interfering with the humour centers of the brain.

or maybe because it’s a stupid joke that fails. #1 reason is God isn’t real and didn’t make anything.

yeah, it definately needs bacon. And $7 for the combo, that's a deal since I could probably feed 3 kids with that thing.

I second that, plus what about eating those “seeds” and “nuts” it's like eating the plants young. It's just wrong.

Well said, don't think your better than someone just for what you do or don't, enjoy what you do, and just know the others are missing out.

Legume I hate to say it but you seem to be the angriest vegetarian I have ever seen. Can you say something positive and redeem yourself? I choose to not berate others for their lifestyle choices but if being vegetarian makes you this angry, I think I would avoid being one.

I would like this minus the cheese plus 1/2 lb of bacon.

Americans are world champions in eating processed food. The average american housewife is warming up in the micro wave oven food which has been manufacored in factories. Only a minority is buying natural food like vegetable, fish and meat in markets and cook it at home. 1/3 of their population is obese.

Activon is the nastiest commercial on TV — How do I know? Because I remember the name but swear I’ll never use the product.
