Hardee's adds to menu with fried biscuit

Hardee's is adding to its menu of fast-food items with the introduction of the new Country Fried Steak 'N' Gravy Biscuit. The new side meal will be available for $2.19 and can be combined with Hash Rounds and a Colombian Blend coffee or other drink.

Hardee's, which is a subsidiary of CKE restaurants, is calling attention to the fact that, while most think of biscuits as a breakfast meal, it can actually be eaten at any time of day.

"Many people love to eat country-fried steak and gravy for breakfast but it's always been a sit-down affair requiring a knife and fork," said Brad Haley, executive vice president of marketing for CKE. "Hardee's new Country Fried Steak 'N' Gravy Biscuit makes the whole thing portable by putting a great-tasting, crispy steak, covered with our famous sausage gravy, inside one of our made from scratch biscuits. It does not get any better than that."

Hardee's sister chain and fellow CKE franchise, Carl's Jr., recently made menu news of its own after introducing the Philly Cheesesteak Burger. The new burger will feature thinly cut steak on a burger patty with peppers, onions, Swiss and American cheeses and polonaise on a seeded bun.
