Carl's Jr. Restaurant Files for Bankruptsy

01/17/07

Carl's Jr. Restaurant, for years the perfect second date destination due to the bump-up in service from McDonald's, (check this out baby, they bring the food to the table), has decided to call it quits. As anybody who's looked at that poster knows, Carl Karcher began his fast food empire in 1941 when he borrowed money for a Hot Dog stand. He called it Carl's instead of Karl's because...well, it was 1941.

The company fell into hard times after it introduced the Six-Dollar burger in 2001 at the then-unheard of proce of $3.95. "We lost two dollars on every burger; it had to end sometime," said former CEO Andrew Pudzer. "The Rosie O'Donnell ad with her washing a car didn't help either."

Pudzer hopes the company can find financing to keep afloat. One things for sure: say good-bye to a great food bargain.

Replacing Paris was a mistake. Not only did Rosie not fit in the bathing suit, she went through 9 $6.00 burgers. That's $54.00 right off the bat.

Actually, this makes me sad, even though I don't eat there. When I was putting myself through college (do kids still do that?) I waited tables in a dinner house and Karl Karcher was a regular customer. He was an extraordinary gentleman and always treated the wait staff and the bus boys with the utmost respect. He would bring us flowers on Valentine's Day and poinsettias at Christmas. I'm sorry that it may soon be gone.
