Best Fast Convenience Food Choices - Hardee's

Wilber Hardee opened his first namesake restaurant in Greenville, North Carolina in 1960. Five months later he had his first franchisee and over the years his burger chain has spread to become a favorite throughout the Midwestern and Southeastern United States.

Although most folks knew Hardee's® for its biscuits, all that changed during the Revolution of 2003: Hardee's® decided to pare down its menu and focus on the hearty 1/3-, 1/2- and 2/3-pound Thickburger® line. Made with 100% Angus beef, Thickburgers® established Hardee's® as a leader in the quick-service industry in both quality and taste.

Not as quite an extensive menu as the prior chains have had, but it serves enough choices for everyone.

I am going to start with the Thickburgers & sandwiches, then move to the breakfast. Yes, it's backwards but I think their breakfast takes second fiddle in sales to the burgers now, so that is first.
