++++ When a Hardees commercial comes on I will change the channel or hit the mute button so that I will not be subjected to the nasty sound effects.

I vote that Hardee's goes back to having hot blonds roll around on the floor with a burger.

Didn't make any sense, but it was more fun to watch than the goofy fake restaurant ones.

My biggest gripe with the commercial is the simple premise behind it: there's no way the caliber of burger they served is going to be anywhere near what you get when you actually go to one of their stores, and so therefore his reaction the reactions are rendered basically useless. Even if it is really a Hardee's sandwich, I'm sure it's "beefed up" (pardon the expression).

Now granted, this is a commercial so of course they're going to do something like that, so why did I even mention that at all?

Anyway, I ended up going to Hardee's recently and I was really impressed. The ones around here have been [expletive] shows the last few years, but I was actually really pleased with the place. I received my food really quickly, whereas in recent years I've had to wait 10-15 minutes. And this was even during lunch hour, to boot! I spent eight bucks, but the food (roast beef sandwich) was good, and the hand-scooped shake was as magical as ever.

So in my opinion, Hardee's has once again affirmed itself as a legitimate place to eat for me.

I've found Hardee's to be hit-or-miss. In the town I live in, there's a Hardee's to the west in one neighboring town and one to the East in the other neighboring town. The one westbound was built from the ashes after it was burned by arsonists. It is great now. VERY clean, great service and I've yet to have a bad meal there in five years.

The one eastbound...blah. Dirty, bad service and they will make your meal sloppy and gross.

The one on Big Bend in Crestwood is good, too.

So Hardee's cooks their burgers all the way through, right? I mean, there's no possible chance of getting pink meat in a Hardee's burger? I wonder if that was the case in these commercials - Did they serve them to order (medium, medium-rare)? Did they just wait until a customer was stupid enough to order it well done?

I order fast food every now and then, and I've never gotten a burger that wasn't "grey" in the inside. I'm not saying they're inedible, or even that they don't taste "good"... but you're never going to get a decent thick burger from a fast food joint. Unless you really enjoy overcooked grey meat.

I really don't have that much trouble believing some people think a food tastes great because it comes from some fancy restaurant.

We've got people on here that say such and such beers are overrated and taste just like Bud Light, but lots of people still drink those overrated beers and think they're superior to other ones. I don't think it's that much of a stretch to see it with food as well.

You're crazy if you think I couldn't tell if O'Connell's slipped me a Thickburger.

Ordering a hamburger well done is not stupid. Quite the contrary...
