Which fast food chain is known for its 'Famous Star' burger?

The fast food chain known for its Famous Star burger is Carl's Jr.

The Famous Star is one of Carl's Jr.'s signature charbroiled burgers. The standard version is built around a beef patty and typically includes lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mayonnaise, and the chain's Special Sauce on a sesame-seed bun. Some locations and menu versions add American cheese, creating the Famous Star with Cheese.

Carl's Jr. traces its history to Carl and Margaret Karcher, who used their savings and borrowed money to buy a hot-dog cart in Los Angeles in 1941. After opening Carl's Drive-In Barbecue in Anaheim, they began selling hamburgers and later opened smaller restaurants called Carl's Jr. in 1956.

The name can cause confusion because Carl's Jr. also sells other well-known burgers, including the Western Bacon Cheeseburger and the Super Star. The Famous Star is specifically associated with the chain's charbroiled burger line and its distinctive star branding. In many international markets, related branding may be connected with Hardee's.
