Having driven to Virginia Beach to visit his sister for a brief vacation, fast food consumer and Pennsylvania native Don Turnbee expressed his interest Friday in eating at Carls Jr., a fast food chain not readily available in his hometown. Ive seen commercials for it on TV, but there isnt one where I live, so I havent tried it before, Turnbee said of the establishment, which he said is supposed to be better than Sonic but not as good as Jack in the Box. The closest one is five hours away, and Im not going to drive that far just to eat there. The one near my sisters is pretty close, so thats better, Turnbee added. Its as far as the Burger King is from my house in Erie. So like a 10-minute drive. While Turnbee told reporters he is looking forward to trying the restaurant, he said he doesnt quite know what to expect, adding that hes unsure if Carls Jr. fries are any good, whether or not they do chicken nuggets or chicken tenders, or if it is the type of fast food restaurant that lets you fill up your own fountain drinks or if the guy behind the counter does it for you. In addition, while hes reportedly aware of the franchises signature sandwich, The Star Burger, he maintained that he doesnt know if it has any secret sauce or anything like that. The food in the advertisements always looks pretty good, said Turnbee, adding that along with ordering a double cheeseburger hell probably get a milkshake just to see what theyre like there. I heard that they do something different with their hamburger buns, but I hope its not too different. I like buns when they have the seeds on them. Turnbee, who regularly patronizes the Wendys and Mr. Sub at the Buffalo Road Shopping Plaza in his town, said that while hes eager to finally eat at Carls Jr., he hopes the dining experience will be better than when he tried White Castle for the first time during a trip to his mother-in-laws. I had heard a lot about it because they do those small burgers, but I guess I like bigger burgers, Turnbee said. Carls Jr. I think will be better because they do normal-sized burgers. It looks like they have these spicy cheese fries, too, but Im probably just going to get the regular ones. If you go online, they let you build your own sandwich, but I dont want to do that, Turnbee continued. I like ordering the regular way. Once again citing the proximity to his sisters house, the 41-year-old confirmed that he would not rule out returning to the fast food franchise multiple times during his four-day visit should he enjoy the initial experience. The fast food consumer also said he would be willing to try breakfast there. Im sure they have breakfast sandwiches, like sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits and stuff like that, but I dont know what they do for hash browns, Turnbee said. I think they have burritos too, but I dont like burritos for breakfast, even if they have eggs in them. Burritos are for lunch or dinner.
