this was in about a zillion test markets all around the country I think. Was it exclusive to PA and OH or something? I couldn't get away from the radio and TV commercials for these things for several months. Had one awhile ago and wasn't terribly impressed.

The commercials were somewhat amusing FWIW. It would have a couple of guys with thick Boston or Minnesota accents or something begging the people in the test market to try the Angus Burger because "your country needs you."

Nice to see they are finally copying a product that a Canadian chain has marketed (as being a "manly" burger) for years.

Granted I have not eaten at Harvey's or McDonalds in a long, long time, but here is an article from last year comparing the Harvey's Angus burger to McDonalds and Burger King. Apparently this was a real serious issue in Canada :O

I thought this was an old bump or something. I live in Columbus and they've been selling these for 2+ years. They suck. That's a big surprise, I know.

BK's angus burgers suck even worse, I think the McDonalds ones are at least better than their regular burgers. Still borderline inedible.

Had it months ago in LA. Awful. Might be because they put 4x as much mayo as it needed on the mushroom swiss.
