COMING SOON TO A CARL’S JR./HARDEE’S NEAR YOU
THE AMAZING GRILLED CHEESE BACON BURGER
Okay, so it might be cheesily (pun intended) tied in with the opening of The Amazing Spiderman, but, LOOK AT IT! Comfort food at its most accessible.
Unfortunately, this commercial is kinda weak.

I’ve been busy working for the past few days, but not busy enough to neglect Cheeseburger Appreciation Month. And today, Scoutmob came through with a solid deal for an ugly day.
If you aren’t aware of Scoutmob, get aware.
They offer location-specific deals like Groupon (minus the shareholder liabilities) and are completely mobile-based. That means great deals brought to you with witty copy and unstifled creativity, immediate access to said savings, and it’s completely free until you redeem it at the location.
Added bonus: Every time you sign in to a Scoutmob participating location with yr linked Foursquare account, it notifies you about the sweet deal going down. And as we all know: sweet deals are sweet.
Along with having deals literally at yr fingers, there’s no need to purchase anything in advance. Just show up and save. HOW EASY IS THAT?
Also, they’re hiring a ton of positions all across the country, if yr still on the market.
Do yrself a favor and sign up for their tasty bacn.
In regards to today’s weather, I’m not gonna call Albert Hammond or Tony! Toni! Toné! a liar, but…

“
Further reflection revealed that it’s quite impractical—nearly impossible—to make a cheeseburger from scratch. Tomatoes are in season in the late summer. Lettuce is in season in spring and fall. Large mammals are slaughtered in early winter. The process of making such a burger would take nearly a year, and would inherently involve omitting some core cheeseburger ingredients. It would be wildly expensive—requiring a trio of cows—and demand many acres of land. There’s just no sense in it.
A cheeseburger cannot exist outside of a highly developed, post-agrarian society. It requires a complex interaction between a handful of vendors—in all likelihood, a couple of dozen—and the ability to ship ingredients vast distances while keeping them fresh. The cheeseburger couldn’t have existed until nearly a century ago as, indeed, it did not.
”— Waldo Jaquith, on the impracticality of the cheeseburger, and how 20th century industry and technology made the greatest handheld meal possible
