The premium Six Dollar Burger version comes with a Black Angus beef patty at $5.19, but I received this one courtesy of Carl's Jr.
This burger definitely subscribed to the "if it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face" Carl's Jr. slogan of old. There was plenty of Frank's RedHot to go around and it had a tangy, savory bite with a decent amount of heat that built up gradually and had me sniffling as I finished a half.
While buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese are a tried-and-true combination, it's also very salty here and makes it a bit hard to enjoy.
The Swiss cheese was creamy but, like a lot of fast food cheese, didn't add much in the way of flavor, at least not over the buffalo sauce and blue cheese. Adding in the second cheese was pretty superfluous.
The veggies were solid and plentiful, as tends to be the case with Carl's Jr. Six Dollar Burgers.

why would they put mayo on this?!? I hate mayo and they put it on EVERYTHING! Also the swiss cheese seems weird for this burger.
ReplyDeleteHoly...2270mg of sodium?!!
ReplyDeleteI had one sans mayo and it was very good.
ReplyDeleteIn kansas city not unusual to get a bbq sandwich with melted cheese and onion ring type food, The Z-Man at oklahoma joes for example. Adding Mayo I think of as more of an Alabama thing. So kind of an odd mix of bbq cultures. I think I will have mine hold the mayo and save the 50 to 100 unnecessary calories.
ReplyDeleteEver hear of minus the mayo?
ReplyDeleteHOLY That Comment!!!
ReplyDeleteYou do know that the Franks sauce and the Blue Cheese have alot of sodium. Why are you suprised. Most all Hot Sauce like Franks are gonna have alot of sodium.
I'm surprised your surprised.
Honestly, I couldn't really taste the mayo anyway. You can easily forgo both without any real effect.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, all these places insist on always putting mayo on despite 18 other condiments on the burger/sandwich.
ReplyDeleteYou're
ReplyDeleteI had one today and really really enjoyed it! ....just the price...
ReplyDeletePleasantly surprised, and I hate Arby's roast bologna...err...beef. The brisket even had what could be called "burnt" ends on the outside edge of tge sandwich. It was piled high, and had a good texture. The sauce was decent, if underwhelming. The bun was also excellent. The people whining about mayo--Hello? You can get it without it, like i did. Seriously, have you never been to a fast food place before? Having it your way isn't strictly the domain of Burger King, dummies.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever eat any home cooked meals? Or do you eat fastfood 365 days a year?
ReplyDeleteYes I do to the first question. I just don't write about them.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but those are old! I figured I ought to focus on the fast food stuff.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Might support the 'Great BBQ Divide' with 2 ways to serve it: saucy, or Texas Style 'little sauce' on top... the "without mayo" could be the perfection of it. But, I liked the 'way it's served'. Delicious! Why only have 'Limited Time Only' ?? I would start going to Arby's again...
ReplyDeleteArby's SMOKEHOUSE BRISKET is absolutely the best sandwich I have ever sunk my teeth into. After eating at least 10 of them, I reluctantly posted on my facebook how delicious they were...and the reason I was reluctant to post the message was because I was so afraid everyone in my small town would rush out, purchase two or three (too good to eat just one) and Arbys would run out
ReplyDeleteof them and I would be left out. I love the sauce, mayo, cheese, crispy onion rings AND the crispy edged, tender slow cooked brisket on a perfect bun. Try it and I promise you, it will be the best sandwich ever. Please, please let this sandwich be on the menu permanently. Do not let it be short lived like the piled up high ham sandwich on the Hawaiian bun I got addicted to and then it was gone.
