I decided to give Carl’s Jr in downtown Vancouver another try after 2 previous visits. They finally got the buns right this time. Seriously, Burger 101 – No soggy buns!!<\/p>\n

I ordered Big Carl burger because I really wanted to taste the meat of the burger without too mush masking from other sauces and ingredients. But it turned out to be a fundamental mistake.<\/p>\n

You gotta have bacon on their burgers.<\/p>\n

What urged me to visit Carl’s Jr is that I used to live in California for 3 years. I was a poor student but I still tried my best to avoid McDonald’s, as I rather spent a bit more on bacon cheese burger from Carl’s Jr or Philly cheese steak sandwich from Jack-in-the-Box. Oh those good old comforting memories.<\/p>\n

Years later, Carl’s Jr just isn’t the same anymore. To me the patty is lacking of the char grill flavours that we can get from an A&W burger. With cheap melted cheese, it just tastes greasy.<\/p>\n

Although I might have made some bad decision on picking a better burger, I think I really should move on from those old memories.<\/p>\n

So long, Carl’s Jr!!!<\/p>\n

Hmm btw… I believe this is first time I write about a fast food chain. Yes I do eat fast food. I am a fan of A&W burger family and I eat Egg McMuffin a few times a year. It is part of living a balanced life – we allow occasional guilty pleasure and then we right the wrong.<\/p>\n
