CARPINTERIA, Calif., Oct 21, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CKR | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Today Carl's Jr.(R) restaurants launched its newest creation: the Parmesan Chicken Sandwich. Featuring a crispy breaded chicken fillet topped with melted cheese, smothered in authentic marinara sauce all on a sesame seed bun, wise guys everywhere are lining up at the drive-thru to chow down.

"Many people love the taste of a breaded chicken breast fillet covered with cheese and a zesty marinara sauce," said Brad Haley, executive vice president of marketing for Carl's Jr. "The new Parmesan Chicken Sandwich from Carl's Jr. is a big sandwich that will fill those cravings in a big way. End of story. Capiche?"

The sandwich, available for $3.99 or $6.49 as a combo, is being promoted through clever ads created by Los Angeles-based advertising agency Mendelsohn|Zien, the firm behind many iconic Carl's Jr. and Hardee's(R) ads. The campaign depicts a guy who outwits two burley hitmen types assisted by conspicuous marinara stains on his shirt from eating his Parmesan Chicken Sandwich. The ads can be viewed on the Carl's Jr. YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/carlsjr.

In addition, Carl's Jr. will launch a Facebook quiz next week that allows consumers to answer mob-related questions to determine which infamous "made guy" they are most like at heart. Visit Carl's Jr. Facebook page at www.facebook.com/carlsjr to play.
