Carl's Jr.'s sirloin steak burger with onion rings. It's seasonal, so you may not find it.
Their other burgers are a bit above par and definitely worth trying when you're out West, but the memory of a good sirloin steak burger will follow you forever.
Too bad you missed it.
...
On the East coast, Hardee's has the same trade-dress and a similar menu -- and it's owned by the same parent company as Carl's Jr., -- but the quality of their meat is not as good. Don't let anyone talk you into going to Hardee's on the (false) premise that it's as good as Carl's Jr.
...
Another one to try out West is Jack in the Box. Not for their food, although their curly fries are pretty good. Just for one of those Jack antenna-toppers.
They make good souvenirs. Nobody from the East coast seems to know what they are, so when they see it you can use it to launch into stories from your trip.
