Carl's Jr. Tests Hardee's Made From Scratch Biscuits in Tucson

This press release from Carl's Jr. went out at the beginning of the month, but it has just come to the AZFoodDude's attention that the folks of Tucson have been part of a test by Carl's Jr.  Carl's Jr. is offering Hardee's Made From Scratch Biscuits starting at $1.69, including:
...the Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit, the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit and the Ham, Egg & Cheese Biscuit. Guests can order any biscuit in a combo with Hash Brown Nuggets and Coffee, Orange Juice or a soft drink starting at $2.99. For diners who can’t make up their minds, there is the aptly named Monster Biscuit, featuring egg, sausage, bacon, ham and two pieces of cheese between a fluffy buttermilk biscuit. A Southern favorite, Biscuit ’N’ Gravy is also offered, as is a sweet Strawberry Biscuit. Prices may vary by location. Biscuits are only available during breakfast hours.
Since Carl's Jr. is only in the testing phase of this roll out, no nutritional information is yet available on their website.  However, three of the six items are listed on the Hardee's menu:

Monster Biscuit - 640 calories, 44 grams of fat and 30 grams of protein
Bacon, Egg & Cheese - 400 calories, 25 grams of fat and 15 grams of protein
