Instead of ordering a side of garlic bread along with your favorite burger, now you can enjoy both at once in the form of the new Garlic Bread Thickburger from Carl's Jr.. Though still in the testing phase, the new burger is the ultimate indulgence for anyone who isn't afraid of a little garlic breath.
The new Garlic Bread Thickburger is a hybrid burger that was recently spotted at a Carl’s Jr. test location in Southern California. According to customers, the burger consists of a 100 percent Black Angus beef patty, topped with crispy American cheese crisps, a slice of Swiss cheese, mayo, grilled onions, and a slice of tomato. However, the real game-changer is the buns. Instead of two fluffy white rolls, the burger is served on toasted sourdough garlic bread. For those who want to take their love of garlic to the next level, the chain has also been spotted testing Cheesy Garlic Fries.
