To respond to Joe: no doubt there are better restaurants than Carl's (though my experience at Cassells suggests it's not: http://lafoodcrazy.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2007-11-01T14%3A28%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=3), and I specifically didn't defend either their politics or their ad campaign. But their chili cheeseburger kicks ass, and my mission statement here is to guide readers to experiences they might not otherwise have. To not tell you about a burger this good would be a disservice. And while I'm happy to discuss the politics of food, it's a quite different issue from the food itself. After all, who knows how the owner of Won Jo Kokerang Agurang treats his wife, or whether Bevery Soon Tofu voted for Bush?Jess Winfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15496417405318110117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425347.post-39042531419440913672008-05-05T09:25:00.000-07:002008-05-05T09:25:00.000-07:00I'm relieved to find that I'm not the only picky (...I'm relieved to find that I'm not the only picky (i.e. discriminating) eater who LOVES the CC burger at Carl's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425347.post-58040004601659705892008-05-04T16:40:00.000-07:002008-05-04T16:40:00.000-07:00I was dubious, I was a skeptic, I thought to mysel...I was dubious, I was a skeptic, I thought to myself, "Has Jess finally gone one bridge too far..." Well I am pleased to say that the wife and I just split a CJ chilli cheeseburger and it was one of the best hamburgers I've ever had - bar none! She was on the patio and at one point I looked out to gauge her reaction and she gave me a thumbs up like someone who just stuck a night carrier landing in middle of a gale. Totally unamimous - this is now our burger of choice. Thank you Jess for having the courage to blog about this soul-less, evil corporation that happens to make a kick ass burger.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16308388524917957371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425347.post-78556834157384987232008-05-01T20:27:00.000-07:002008-05-01T20:27:00.000-07:00I too have a soft spot for the Sante Fe Chicken Sa...I too have a soft spot for the Sante Fe Chicken Sandwich, but I do feel a ptang of guilt anytime I give them my money.

Surely there are hundreds of better resturants in the greater Los Angeles area that are waiting to be discovered...I know, I know,you are going to say "A guy's entitled to a greasy chili burger every once in awhile" but does it have to be from this soulless, coroporate giant? For heaven sakes, I know we have all been pinching pennies in the wake of Bush's failed economic policies (if he even has one) higher gas prices and food prices soaring weekly, AND I know it's tough on a writer's income to afford a nice place to plop down for a greasebomb, but please- let me send you 20 bucks to try Cassell's Hamburgers on 6th or Lucky Devil's on Hollywood Blvd or even Pie 'n Burger in Pasedena. Anywhere but a place that rants, "If it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face" GROSS!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425347.post-84758110156310480332008-05-01T12:24:00.000-07:002008-05-01T12:24:00.000-07:00The link to Bly Space has been corrected.The link to Bly Space has been corrected.Jess Winfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15496417405318110117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425347.post-18962444876971374782008-05-01T12:18:00.000-07:002008-05-01T12:18:00.000-07:00The political blog link didn't work.I have been av...The political blog link didn't work.<BR/><BR/>I have been avoiding Carl's for years based on political biases, but I may have to reconsider crossing that line.Jim Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12806776976987960354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425347.post-30324775722903115482008-05-01T11:41:00.000-07:002008-05-01T11:41:00.000-07:00Heated discussion, I like that!

I usually agree with you or at least can see the merit of your opinion. Not this time. The chili itself is CRAP. It might as well be a bucket of salt with poop mixed in for color. That right there ends it. You put that on anything and you ruin it. Doesn't matter if it's Fries or a Burger. Yuck.<BR/><BR/>-craigt<BR/>http://krinkle.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
