BBQ Rib-Topped Burgers

The Carl's Jr. and Hardee's Baby Back Rib Burger is Indulgent

— April 17, 2017 — Lifestyle
The Baby Back Rib Burger is the latest creation from fast food brand's Carl's Jr. and Hardee's that will offer a way to satisfy a craving for burgers and ribs.

The burger is created by using ribs that have been sourced from Bubba's-Q Boneless Ribs, which is an Ohio-based restaurant focused on delivering high-quality meat products. The ingredients that the burger is paired with include Cattleman's Original BBQ Sauce, crispy onion strings and pickles. The burger is sandwiched inside a brioche bun for a soft yet substantial way to keep the contents together.

The Carl's Jr. and Hardee's Baby Back Rib Burger is set to become available nationwide at participating locations starting on April 27. The burger can be ordered in two size variations as well as in a Black Angus variety.
