What Is the Carl's Jr. Triple Big Carl?
The Big Carl keeps things simple: Classic Sauce, American cheese and lettuce. No tomato, no onion, no pickles.
If the Famous Star feels like too much going on, this is the cleaner option at the same calorie level.
The triple has three patties. It is a lot of food for one person, so many people split it or skip the fries.
