| - I stopped by Carl's Jr. after a Doctor's appointment for some lunch, specifically to buy a Jalapeno Turkey Burger. The sandwich looked appetizing in its advertisements, as I love turkey burgers and enjoy anything spicy. Since Carl's Jr. usually makes pretty tasty burgers of all varieties, I was looking forward to eating a juicy, flavorful, spicy turkey burger. I was sadly dissapointed.
I have eaten turkey burgers from almost every type of restaurant imaginable: expensive organic restaurants, burger joints, college cafeterias, and backyard barbecues. I don't consider myself a snob, and I don't pretend to have the highest standards when it comes to food. However, the Jalapeno Turkey Burger that I ate at Carl's Jr. was one of the worst I've eaten in a long time. The pattie was extremely rubbery and dry, which means it had been sitting in a warmer for an extended period of time. The bun was a tasty wheat bun, but unfortunately it was squished to the size of two pancakes. The sauce was minimal and the cheese was non-existent. As for the spice factor, the jalapeno's added hardly any flavor or heat to the lukewarm burger. They were some of the most bland jalapenos I have ever eaten. Overall, I would say that all of the promised components of the burger were there, but they were all much lower quality than what I was expecting from Carl's Jr.
