I’m from California living in Texas. I grew up on Carl’s Jr in Cali and tried it here in Texas and it doesn’t taste the same (nasty). I never think of eating at Carl’s Jr in Texas, but when I visit home it’s a place I eat at. I can say so far In-N-Out in Texas okay, but not as good as Cali. I see Del Taco is in Texas and they can have it as it is and alwy as will be Gross!

No loss of a burger joint leaving CA.

Houston would be very very happy to welcome you Mr. Pudzer!! I am sure you know all about the tax and regulatory advantages of coming to Texas, but I’d like to point out that there is a lot more to the picture than just that.

For example, Houston is the largest city in the USA that has no zoning. Yes sir, you read that right… no zoning. This makes it a lot easier to build or remodel your locations. It also makes it possible for you to actually have real neighborhood restaurants, where the restaurants are in the neighborhood, near where your customers live and your employees work.

Also, did you know that the Houston suburb of Clear Lake (where NASA is) has the 3rd largest basin for pleasure boats in the US? In large part that’s due to the lower taxes here, so people can AFFORD boats. http://www.swaviator.com/html/issueSO04/SailinginWAS.html

So please bring your headquarters, and your jobs, to our low tax State!

It would be a great move. I miss the OC weather in the hot summers in Texas, but I enjoy my 3,700 squarefoot mansion for 250k all year long. Especially during the california like weather. Oh and I pay 3k less taxes here than I did in Cali and make more money!! I miss the Angels though. It is hot, but kids swim all summer just like they did in Cali!! Finally they are building a Carl’s near me in Katy!!!

kbaker’s response is so typical of the liberal mentality in California, which is ‘leave!’ Trust me we will leave Baker. I was born and raised here and I am an Independent registered voter. Sadly my wife and I are too old to start anew job wise, (we have our own business), but we have decided to take early retirement (2018) and get the hell out of this state. Hopefully it won’t implode financially before we get out.

Why would it take California 8 months to 2 years to approve a burger restaurant that has been efficiently duplicated 700!!! times in their state?

Must be about jobs. Yes jobs, So the state approval folks can justify the existence of their jobs.

Of course bowling shirts for the municipal employee league takes about a week.

Way to go CKE, I tip my hat to you, Texas is friendly, the knuckle heads that have their heads in the sand that say Texas is going broke and california is in the black, tese are the same knuckle heads that stood on the Titanic and said it is not sinking.
