Carl’s Jr. Coins the Next Culinary Craze, “Condimeat”

The restaurant petitions Merriam-Webster to land the word in the dictionary

FRANKLIN, Tenn.--()--Carl’s Jr.®, known for one-of-a-kind craveable menu items, announced today the launch of a movement to make the word “Condimeat” official, spearheading a nationwide campaign to get the term added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

The brand is getting behind the new phrase — a word for meat as the most irresistible condiment — by enlisting the help of its fans. They’re calling on meat lovers everywhere to sign the petition and join the movement using #Condimeat across social media.

“Carl’s Jr. is known for being impossible to ignore, both as a brand and as a culinary innovator,” said Jeff Jenkins, Chief Marketing Officer, Carl’s Jr. “We know our customers are flavor gurus, and they also want to have a little fun with their meals. So with the launch of our Pastrami Thickburger, we’re joining in on the fun and giving the world what it didn’t even know it was missing: a brand new word to describe the ultimate condiment — meat.”

Carl’s Jr. defines the noun “Condimeat” as the additional protein on top of an already protein-packed, 100% Black Angus charbroiled beef burger; served this way such that the burger’s colossal flavor is amplified, augmented and accentuated. Examples: bacon, pork or pastrami on top of a burger.

The Condimeat movement is kicking off timed to the launch of the Carl’s Jr. Pastrami Thickburger, available for a limited time at participating locations nationwide.
