What Is the Carl's Jr. Single Famous Star?
The Famous Star is the Carl’s Jr. version of a classic deluxe cheeseburger. Lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles do the work, and Special Sauce plus mayo keep it rich.
It is the burger the chain is named for in a lot of people’s minds, and the one inside the Famous for Four bundle.
The single is a normal one-patty burger and the cheapest way to try this build.
