FRANKLIN, Tenn.--()--Carl’s Jr.®, known for impossible to ignore flavors and craveable menu items, today announced the launch of its new Western Fries, a spin on the restaurant’s best-selling Western Bacon Cheeseburger®.

This fresh take on the iconic classic includes crispy natural cut fries, coated in a brand-new Western seasoning that delivers all the taste of the Western Bacon Cheeseburger including BBQ sauce, charbroiled beef patties, cheese and even notes of the sesame seed bun.

“With a Western Bacon Cheeseburger sold every 1.13 seconds, we knew this was a fan-favorite flavor that we wanted to deliver in a new and innovative way while also ensuring that it stood up to the iconic Carl’s Jr. offering,” said Owen Klein, Vice President of Culinary Innovation at Carl’s Jr. “We are excited for our customers to taste the new outcome that will allow you to enjoy the essence of our bold Western Bacon Cheeseburger with every fry you pop into your mouth.”
