The Carl's Jr. Beyond BBQ Cheeseburger is one of the latest meat-free offerings from QSR brands that aims to deliver consumers with an alternative to the conventional offerings usually found on the menu.
The burger is inspired by the Western Bacon Cheeseburger and is made with a Beyond Meat Burger patty that has been topped with Carl's Jr. original BBQ sauce, a slice of American cheese and onion rings on a sesame seed bun. These ingredients could work well together to create a meat-like flavor profile that is more in line with what consumers might be looking for from their favorite fast food brands.
The Carl's Jr. Beyond BBQ Cheeseburger is priced at $6.29 and will be available at participating locations starting October 9.
