HARDEE’S® ADDS BEER-BATTERED COD FISH ITEMS TO MENU
Fish Supreme Sandwich and Fish ‘N’ Chips Basket Featured During Lenten Season

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – January 31, 2005 – Beginning today, local Hardee’s® restaurants are offering two Lenten season menu items: the Fish Supreme Sandwich and a Fish ‘N’ Chips Basket. Both items feature beer-battered cod fish fillets and are available at participating Hardee’s through April 10.

“As we have done with our 100% Angus beef Thickburgers™, we wanted to make sure that our Lenten fish items were very high quality,” said Brad Haley, executive vice president of marketing for Hardee’s. “So we’re using only premium cod fish fillets with real beer in the batter.”

The Fish Supreme Sandwich features two beer-battered cod fish fillets, a slice of American cheese, iceberg lettuce and tartar sauce on a buttered, toasted bun. The Fish ‘N’ Chips Basket includes three beer-battered cod fish fillets, French fries and tartar sauce. The suggested retail price for the Fish Supreme Sandwich is $2.99; for the Fish ‘N’ Chips Basket, $5.49. Prices may vary.

I'm at a loss for words.

Maybe not. Remember the 'WWJD' paraphernalia that was all the rage a while back. Well, I think we know the answer. Jesus would teach a man to fish, but since that takes a few hours, he would have taken his 'disciple' down to the nearest deepfryer, tossed the cod in with some Miller Lite and a little flour, fried the hell out of it, thrown some 'yellow' cheese and tartar sauce on for good measure, and then charged his new 'buddy' six bucks.

It's great to see a gastronomic institution such as this keeping a mindful eye on religous observances.
