Carl's Jr. Introduces Spicy Breakfast Burger and Spicy Western Bacon Cheeseburger

Surrender to flavor with a spicy new twist on a fan-favorite menu item

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Feb. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the burger-induced chaos of Carl's Jr. Free Burger Day on February 12, when more than 200,000 burgers were redeemed, the brand is continuing to feed guests' insatiable craving for bold, new flavors. Available starting today, Carl's Jr. is introducing two menu items to its flavorful lineup – the new Spicy Breakfast Burger and the return of the Spicy Western Bacon Burger, both twists on the classic Western Bacon Cheeseburger.

As part of the flavorful upgrade, the Spicy Breakfast Burger features a charbroiled all-beef patty, topped with jalapeno coins, crispy bacon, an egg, pepperjack cheese, Hash Rounds® and ketchup, on top of a seeded bun. The Spicy Western Bacon Cheeseburger features a charbroiled angus patty, topped with jalapeno coins, two strips of bacon, melted pepperjack cheese, crispy onion rings and tangy BBQ sauce on a seeded bun.

"The Spicy Breakfast Burger and the Spicy Western Bacon Cheeseburger mark the first product launches in our Crave campaign, focused on satiating the craveable flavors that our guests desire," said Anthony Nguyen, vice president of brand marketing at Carl's Jr. "The campaign brings our big, bold, unique California-inspired flavors and audacious brand personality to life, and we're excited to see more spins on classics like this going forward."
