Carl’s Jr. Expands Line Of Popular Guacamole Bacon Burgers

Franchising.com:

It’s not easy to make really good guacamole, which may explain why Carl’s Jr.(R) is the only fast-food chain to have had so much success with guacamole-topped burgers and chicken sandwiches in the past that it made the Guacamole Bacon Six Dollar Burger(R) a permanent menu offering in 2003. Carl’s Jr. prepares its guacamole fresh daily, mixing real salsa — also made fresh every day — with real avocado, and starting today the chain’s customers can order from a full line of Guacamole Bacon Burgers, including the single, double and Six Dollar Burger varieties.

“Carl’s Jr. has always had great success introducing menu items that deliver more authentic tastes and flavors than our competitors would ever attempt,” said Brad Haley, executive vice president of marketing for Carl’s Jr. “So, we naturally wanted to prepare guacamole like people do at home, with real avocados and fresh salsa, to make our Guacamole Bacon Burgers taste like something you’d be more likely to find only in sit-down restaurants. It’s that kind of quality that helped get the Guacamole Bacon Burgers selected as the official burgers of the California Avocado Festival, and those people know good guacamole when they taste it!”
