| | Fool.com: CKE's Monster [Motley Fool Take] November 16, 2004 |
| | On Monday, the fast-food restaurant outfit's Hardee's restaurants unveiled their new "Monster Thickburger." The new entree is composed of two 1/3-pound patties, four pieces of bacon, and American cheese served on a sesame seed bun, all of which adds up to 1,420 calories and 102 grams of fat, according to The Associated Press. | | | In addition to size, though, Thickburgers also offer something in the way of improved taste and quality, as each patty is 100% Angus beef. | | | CKE has to be applauded for going against the grain, for, even as market leader McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) was introducing healthier fare, Hardee's was concentrating on bigger portions of meat. |
