Hardee's Classic Double Cheeseburger

After hearing about this burger and seeing the pictures, I decided I had to try one.  Since I have never tried an In-N-Out burger with the special sauce, I figured this would be a way to get close to seeing how it tasted.  At my local Hardee's location, I ordered the Hardee's Classic and asked for one slice of cheese.  Thankfully the employee who took my order obliged and I got my burger as requested.  Just like some food reviewers don't like pickles, or onions, or tomatoes ("red rings of death"), or lettuce ("crunchy water"), which are all fine to me, I myself am not a fan of the yellow squares of processed plastic.  However, I figured one piece would be necessary and enough to get the total experience.

The burger is simple, yet tasty.  It has two patties, two slices of cheese (or in my case, one), lettuce, and tomato.  However, the star of this star burger is the special sauce (thousand island-ish) with grilled onions on top.  Upon tasting this, my first bite forced the sauce and onions up through the middle of the top bun and into my nostrils. Yum.  So I had to clean my face before proceeding to enjoy this still enjoyable burger.  I was able to finish it with no further incidents, with some fries and some sweet tea.  I recommend a soda with this burger.

As for a rating for this burger, first of all, I would definitely get it again.  A rating scale based on 5 doesn't really describe this burger.  So out of 100, I give it an 85.  It would get a 90 grade, if the top bun didn't fail.  Another thought is that Carl's Jr. evidently has had this same exact burger, but from a video food review I watched it was obvious that the burger had a better quality bun. This is what my version desperately needed.  Otherwise, the burger was delicious and I will be buying another one before it goes away.
