Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s look to add comfort to the menu with a test of its new Chili lineup featuring a variety of new items that come topped with new thick and hearty chili made with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, peppers, chilis and a perfect blend of spices.
The new chili will be the main feature of the new Chili Cheese Star, Double Chili Cheese, and Chili Cheese Fries – the popular Fries are returning to Carl’s Jr. menus after 9-year hiatus and testing at Hardee’s for the very first time for a limited time.
The Chili Cheese Star consists of a 100% all-beef patty, charbroiled over an open flame, topped with a hearty beef chili, melted American cheese, crispy onion rings and a touch of mustard served on a toasted sesame seed bun.
The Double Chili Cheese Star features two charbroiled 100% all-beef patties, topped with hearty beef chili, melted American cheese, crispy onion rings and a touch of mustard, all sandwiched between a toasted sesame seed bun. (Hardee’s price: $5.49. Carl’s Jr. price: $6.49.)
Chili Cheese Fries feature the brand’s natural cut French fries topped with hearty beef chili and shredded cheese. (Hardee’s price: $2.49. Carl’s Jr. price: $2.79.)
Carl’s Jr. is testing the Chili lineup at select locations in Los Angeles and El Paso markets, while Hardee’s is testing the new items in Washington, DC, Harrisburg-Lancaster-Lebanon-York, PA and Greenville-Spartanburg-Asheville-Anderson, SC & NC.
