?We are excited to give our fans a fun, delicious way to celebrate Earth Day this year with a full plant-based meat experience at Carl?s Jr.,? said Patty Trevino, senior vice president of brand marketing at CKE Restaurants. ?With nearly one-third of consumers identifying as flexitarian, we continue to innovate on new ways for our guests to enjoy our iconic charbroiled burgers with our Beyond Meat partnership.?
