Carl's Jr. brings back Portobello burger
October 31, 2007
CARPINTERIA, Calif. — The Portobello Mushroom Six Dollar Burger has returned to the Carl's Jr. menu.
During its initial appearance in 2005 on the Carl's Jr. menu, the Portobello Mushroom Six Dollar Burger won the product award for excellence from Produce Business Magazine, and was among a handful of menu items profiled by USA Today for a trend story on gourmet trends in fast food.
"The Portobello Mushroom Six Dollar Burger was the most popular limited-time addition to the Six Dollar Burger line at Carl's Jr. when it was introduced two years ago," said Brad Haley, executive vice president of marketing for Carl's Jr. restaurants. "It was, and still is, the only fast-food burger topped with premium-quality Portobello mushrooms. So, when we heard over and over from our guests that they wanted the Portobello Mushroom Six Dollar Burger back at Carl's Jr., we listened."
The burger features Portobello mushrooms sliced and sautéed with garlic and parsley, a charbroiled, 100-percent Angus beef patty, Swiss cheese, red onions, tomato and lettuce on a seeded bun.
The Portobello Mushroom Six Dollar Burger will sell for $4.89 at participating restaurants or for $6.89 as part of a combo meal. In addition, customers can add Portobello mushroom sauce to any burger for 99 cents.
