    Am I the only one who thinks Hardee's burgers are nowhere near the hype? I'd be a way happier and fatter Meat if the Hardee's near my house stuck to fried chicken and all-day biscuits. Even happier if a Bojangles took its place, but still.

    I like Hardee's burgers far more than any of the other big time national chains (McD, BK, Wendy's, etc.). That doesn't mean they are super wonderful terrific, just better than the others.

    "Every McDonald's commercial ends the same way, right? 'Prices and participation may vary.' I wanna open a McDonald's and not participate in anything. I wanna be a stubborn McDonald's owner. Cheeseburgers? Nope. We got spaghetti! And blankets!"

    The one I used to go to did the same thing, but I can't recall the name. Had basically the same menu as Burger Chef. Didn't last too long, and now the old location is a decent mom-and-pop Italian joint.

    So, has anyone tried the sandwich? I will fall on the sword if no one else has because I feel like we need a review.

    I was raised on hardwood, a pit and Real By-God Barbecue with vinegar-based slaw and sweet tea.

    They should call it Fauxbecue.

    I remember when they switched menus and got rid of the chicken when I was a kid. Folks were not happy. My grandparents would often stop by there on the way home from church on Sundays and get chicken for lunch.

    They've got four or five different sammiches, IIRC from what a friend who works at a BK told me. One Texas and Carolina whopper, one each for the chicken sammiches, and the Memphis "pulled pork" sammich.

    This thread has become a penis-measuring contest about who can best describe "real man" barbecue.

    I grew up in the days when barbecue meant shovin' your whole fist up a sow's vagina, grabbin that baby and throwin' it on the smoker still squealin'.

    Seems to me any BBQ discussion brings out the penis-measuring best (worst?) in every man and some women in the world.

    And I say that as one who loves eating and cooking BBQ every chance I get.

    It was barbecue. It was mesquite. That's the way it was done.
