After years of waiting in a jealous rage of those across the Southwest that could enjoy the majesty of The Original Six Dollar Burger anytime they wanted, Carl's Jr. has finally arrived in Western Washington via two locations in Tacoma and Lacey.Colleen and I made our inaugural visit last night in Lacey along with a virtual parade of loyal followers and those simply drawn to the power of the Star. We barely approached the drive-through window when the delicious memories of the best fast food on Earth came rushing back.
In an instant I recalled a time long ago, when Happy Star and his smoky delicious charbroiled burgers served as an oasis in the barren wasteland of three-days-long drives to Disneyland in the family van.
While the visit seemed like only a brief moment (we did, after all, go through the drive-through), it's the journey, not the destination at Carl's Jr. And, we will undoubtably continue to savor the flavor of ol' Carl's dream long after the glitz and glamour of his grand entrance to Western Washington fades into memory.

Kevin was just excited, he found one in Covington last week.
Mmmmm, might have to make a trip to Tacoma to get me one of those :)
