Although a high percentage of people are cooking more meals at home in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, foodies are craving high-quality restaurant experiences and Carl’s Jr. is teaming up with Nocking Point Wines to deliver burger and wine pairings. To introduce the brand-new Steakhouse Angus THICKBURGER, Carl’s Jr. is inviting fans to get a taste of an at-home steakhouse experience.
The limited-edition Carl’s Jr. x Nocking Point Wines Steakhouse Burger Box shares a collection of bold red wines to complement the steakhouse flavors of the burger’s hand-seasoned 100% all-beef Angus patty and its A1 Thick & Hearty Steak Sauce.
As CKE Vice President of Culinary Innovation and Chef, Owen Klein, describes: "The Carl’s Jr. x Nocking Point Wines Steakhouse Burger Box makes a steakhouse dinner easy for everyone, replicating the fine dining experience of a wine pairing from the comfort of your home."
