Review: Carl's Jr. - Original Six Dollar Burger

It used to be advertised as the Six Dollar Burger for under $4, but nowadays it's quite a bit closer to that $6 mark. Carl's Jr.'s Original Six Dollar Burger (since there are other variations now) is a hefty burger with a charbroiled Black Angus beef patty, two slices of American cheese, lettuce, two slices of tomato, red onion, pickles, mustard, mayo, and ketchup on a toasted sesame seed bun. The ingredients are similar to a Whopper with cheese.

It's normally $4.99 at my local Carl's Jr., but a recent promotion has the price back at $3.99.
