Dec 2016

Asked by Entrepreneur magazine in 2015 about a hallmark of one of his restaurants, Carl’s Jr., which frequently runs ads featuring models and celebrities like Charlotte McKinney eating burgers while wearing bikinis, Puzder was unapologetic.

"I like our ads. I like beautiful women eating burgers in bikinis. I think it's very American," he said. "I used to hear, brands take on the personality of the CEO. And I rarely thought that was true, but I think this one, in this case, it kind of did take on my personality."

No wonder Trump picked him, a fellow misogynist.
