Hardee’s New Pork Chop ‘N’ Gravy Biscuit
A fast-food pork chop? No way! That’s what I was thinking yesterday when Philip sent me a message saying he saw a new Hardee’s advertisement with a pork chop and gravy on a biscuit. Today, the folks at Hardee’s contacted me with details. This new breakfast item features a boneless, breaded pork chop, covered in sausage gravy, served on one of the chain’s ‘Made From Scratch’ biscuits. It sells for $2.99 and is also available in a combo meal for $4.59 that includes hash rounds (small circular hash browns) and beverage. It’s actually the company’s second version of a pork chop sandwich.
“We first introduced a Pork Chop Biscuit a few years ago and, even though we stopped selling it last year, we still get many requests from people asking us to bring it back,” said Brad Haley, Hardee’s Executive Vice President of Marketing. “And, since we had many reports from our restaurants that people were ordering a side of our famous sausage gravy to dip the biscuit in – which I usually do myself, by the way – we decided to re-test it with sausage gravy already on it and it was more popular than ever. So, I guess the old saying among our test kitchen people is true: The only way to make it better is to add gravy to it!”
Pork + Sausage + Gravy = probably tastes good but the calories and fat must be enormous. Sounds like something my dear grandmama would have cooked.
Hey Tim!
This item has made my tummy rumble, Any chance of a review being featured on fastfoodcritic?
Yum!!!!
If a doctor ever gives me six months to live, I’m going to eat six of those every morning.
Though I would still like s side of gravy to go with the gravy already on the biscuit.
Can never have enough gravy.
How’s this for irony? I’m going to my Cardiologist a week from next Monday. Hardee’s is right across the street. If no one has done it by then, I’ll check it out and let you know.
Damn I wish Hardee’s was closer, I’d totally try one of these!
Seriously, Y’all are killing me.
Somebody put a Hardees in New Orleans.
PLEASE!
This is probably the worst excuse for food I’ve seen in a long time. I can just imagine the greasy, over-browned buscuit, the painfully hard over-crisp flash-fried breading on the “pseudo sow” plank (flaked and formed, no doubt), and topped off with a super thick slurry of wallpaper paste called gravy. I’m amazed that folks think this colorless blob looks appetizing but I’m sure it’s just me.
