Summarize with

Carl's Jr. has partnered with "Summer House" reality television star Carl Radke to celebrate National Carl's Day with a nationwide promotion, according to a press release.

From now through June 10, Carl's Jr. is offering a BOGO free deal on its signature Big Carl burger. The promotion is available exclusively to users of the company's MyRewards mobile application.

The collaboration plays on the shared name between the reality star and the QSR chain, as well as Radke's personal history with the brand.

"During my twenties, I actually lived in Los Angeles, and Carl's Jr. was always one of my go-to spots," Radke said in the press release. "My order was almost always a Big Carl, which is funny because my friends have called me Big Carl or 'BC.' So getting the chance to partner with a brand that was a staple for me feels like a pretty full-circle moment."

Company representatives stated the partnership aligns with Radke's current career trajectory and focus on personal growth following his high-profile years on the Bravo reality series.

"Partnerships like this with Carl's Jr. are all about alignment," Radke added. "Over the last several years, I've been focused on personal growth, living with intention and building a life and career that feel authentic to who I am today. I'm excited to work with brands that share those values and allow me to connect with people in a meaningful way. It's less about chasing opportunities and more about creating partnerships that genuinely reflect the journey I'm on."
