Carl’s Jr. Celebrates 70th Anniversary

Carl's Jr., celebrating its 70th Anniversary, was founded with one hot dog cart on the corner of Florence and Central in Los Angeles on July 17, 1941. One of the earliest hot dog stands is pictured.

Just because the icons of the fast food industry are well, icons, that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for the little guy. Consider the success of food trucks in recent years and then read the press release below for inspiration. Then get busy, budding restaurateurs!

Dial Up A Microwave Meal


General Foodservice Commercial Microwave with Dial Control, 10 Seconds to 8 Minutes Time Increments, Countertop 120V/1000W, 1 cu.ft., Stainless Steel
Visit the General Store

Ah, the good old days when phones and microwaves required dialing. In this push-button, fast-paced modern existence it can be hard to slow down and enjoy a nice batch of microwave popcorn. The General Dial Type Microwave can help. Featuring a stainless steel design and 1000-watts of power, the microwave is on par with its modern counterparts. Because it is, after all, brand-new. As for a dial-up phone, that’s probably best left in the past considering how hard it would be to retrieve voice-mail messages. Leftovers, however, always have a place in the home.

Barbecue Basting Straight From The Bottle

Jokari Silicone Bottletop Baster

When using barbecue sauce right out of the bottle there is little reason to pour it into a bowl before slopping it on the chicken and ribs. Why have an inbetweener? While emptying it out straight from the bottle might be fast, it’s not the best way to get maximum coverage, but slathering it on with a brush would do the trick. The Jokari Silicone Bottletop Baster lets grillmasters skip the mess and head straight to the good stuff. Just squeeze, baste and eat!

New Goldfish Sandwich Bread from Pepperidge Farm Makes a Splash with Kids

Bread made out of Goldfish crackers might be interesting, but the new Goldfish Sandwich Bread from Pepperidge Farm is just regular ol’ white bread. Oh well. One can always pour a bag of those little smiling crackers between a couple of slices. Or better yet, wait for Pepperidge Farm to turn their Goldfish Bread into Goldfish Pretzel Bread just like they did with the crackers. Now that might be something…

…in any event, for those looking for kid-friendly solutions for food, the press release follows.

Because Hot Dog News Is Important: The Royal Dog

PINK'S WELCOMES THE ROYAL COUPLE TO L.A. by offering The Royal Dog on the menu and now has a banner across the front of Pink's saying "PINK'S WELCOMES WILL & KATE TO LOS ANGELES!!!

I didn’t know the Royal Couple was honeymooning in Hollywood, but I do know a good hot dog when I see one. Maybe Will and Kate (whoever they are) can take one back to the other side of the pond to give the food of their country a much needed, uh, hot beef injection of flavor.

This is a press release:

Pink’s Hot Dogs Welcomes Will & Kate to L.A. with a Banner and a New Hot Dog

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Pink’s Hot Dogs welcomes the Royal Couple, Will & Kate, to Los Angeles with a banner displayed across the front of the stand which reads: “PINK’S WELCOMES WILL & KATE TO L.A.!!!”

A new hot dog was created in honor of the royal visit – THE ROYAL DOG, 2 Hot Dogs in 1 bun with “royal toppings” which include: mustard, cheese, onions, pickle relish, a “spot” of Pink’s famous chili and 2 slices of bacon, a mere trifle at £3.73 or $6.00.
