Hit <strong>Clocked<\/strong> for a stacked burger menu, classic fries and onion rings, grilled cheese, and a nod to the South with <strong>pimento cheese<\/strong>. My move if I\u2019m ordering for you: the <strong>\u201cHudson Carter\u2019s Jumbo Deluxe\u201d<\/strong>\u2014cheddar, bacon, fried egg, and top-secret sauce.
