I totally missed this one... another of the big American fast-food franchises opened in Australia about a year ago, and is already in three states (NSW, QLD, SA) and soon to be opening in VIC.
Carl's Jr, makes up part of the 7,300+ Hardees-Carls Jr chain of burger outlets in America and many other countries, which is the third largest burger chain in the world, behind Mcdonalds (35,000) and Burger King (16,000). Wendys comes in fourth at 6,500.

Even though Burger King and Wendys are my favourites when in America, I've always wanted to try Carls Jr or Hardees, especially after they started doing the "All American Thickburger", and many other delicious looking creations on their menu. Unfortunately, in my 17 trips to America, for some reason, I was never able to get to one, or have one near where I was staying... which seems weird, considering there are supposed to be so many of them.

Time to go visit one of the three in Brisbane. What's even better is that there is one at the Brisbane Domestic airport... for when I fly interstate.

And for those in Brisbane, the small chain of outlets called Gettaburger, is one that has caught my eye recently, with someone at work showing me some of their special weekly burgers, that can end up having anything on it.

Something else for me to check out soon.
