    Many Hardee's are using the Carl's logo, and the Carl's restaurants' kids
    menus advertise the Hardee's and Carl's kids websites. I assume Carl bought
    Hardees at some time in the past (probably the recent past).

    Fooled? Red Robin makes no bones about the fact that gourmet hamburgers are
    their bread and butter (to coin a phrase :>). If you felt misled, you
    weren't paying attention. I*M*O.

    They're expensive, but the burgers they server are worth it (also IMO).

    Carl is dead. But the public company he started, CKE Restaurants, Inc.
    (CKE), bought Hardee's in 1997. They also own La Salsa Fresh Mexican
    Grill.

    "Gourmet hamburgers?" Not in my book. I personally do not like
    hamburgers cooked on a flat grill, smothered in grease (and other crap),
    and then served on a bun lathered in even more grease. For that I prefer
    In and Out Burger. IMO, naturally.

    Oh yea, I don't walk into Chili's expecting to find only ribs
    either--even if that damn song is playing in my head. <g>

    But I will say I was not impressed with neither the waitress (cuz it was
    a waiter) nor the cellphone reception last time I was in Chili's. IMHO,
    YMMV, and all other disclaimers apply.

    Ah. I *love* In'n'Out. But I also love Red Robin. I don't think the two are
    mutually exclusive. Red Robin does burgers you won't find anywhere else. In
    'n' Out's style, while yummy, is similar to Steak'n'Shake in the Midwest. (I
    miss Steak'n'Shake, having moved from a house about five minutes away from
    one of their restaurants. But having In'n'Out here makes up for the loss of
    SNS.)

    No Carl's Jr. or Hardee's around this area. Used to be; I liked them.

    My nephew came home one day telling of their glory, having heard about
    them from some race car driver he knows. One opened close by, I had the
    wife pick a burger up for takeout and it was just an average lump of
    ground beef with stuff. Maybe I'll try eating in next time; nothing I
    love more than a really good burger. (Food-wise, anyway.)

    I've never had In 'n' Out, so I can't comment on it. I stand by my disgust
    with Red Robin (yes, they do burgers you won't find anywhere else, and I
    don't want to find them anywhere else). When I was a kid, Steak and Shake
    expanded into the Chicago area, proved to be incompetent, and retracted out
    of here again. I always made it a point to go there when I traveled
    downstate. A few years ago, they tried again around here (also
    overbuilding; there are two within three miles on the same state highway).
    Problem is, I no longer like their food. The burgers are cold and blah, the
    fries suck, and the milk shakes are no better than the milk shakes at
    McDonald's, but Mc's are about twice the size for the same price (okay, so
    SNS has more flavors and gives you a cherry -- BFD). The best burger in the
    Chicago area is at Portillo's (but not at Brown's Chicken, even though the
    owners of the two chains are brothers; Brown's burgers are almost as bad as
    SNS).
