Hardees burgers have a very, very distinctive taste. I'd imagine they recorded a great deal of "What, did the chef just stop at Hardees?" comments before they got the one usable one they put in the commercial.

That's some cutting edge [expletive] to pile beef on top of a burger. My money's on pepperoni next.

I also totally scoffed the first time that I saw those absurd Pizza hut specials.

Part of me agrees, as I think a lot of people that go to restaurants get that placebo effect when served something. I see it much, much, much moreso in terms of wine - as I would say that 98% of wine buyers at a restaurant don't know jibbity jack about what they are talking about (myself freely included). As in, put a superb reserve cabernet in one glass, and a three buck chuck in another, and a depressing amount would prefer the latter. (Bartender/waiter rant over)

Anyway, that's wine. Pasta? No freakin way. If you can't tell the difference between a frozen-bag pasta like Pizza Hut's, and a freshly sauteed one, you probably have polio.

When did Pizza Hut do something like this? Recently? I don't think I've seen 'em.

I get the impression from the commercial that they did the whole "Pizza Hut does teh pasta?!?!?" thing before Pizza Hut had pasta on their menu. Having never tried PH pasta, I can't comment on the quality, but I assume it's decent. I think the response in the commercial is "I didn't know PH made pasta." At least that's how I interpreted it.

Let it be known, the Prime Rib thick burger was pretty damn good.
