Yes, you got it right the second time. Apparently, the Far East (of the USA) has never heard of Carl's Jr.

As for the 'I wonder' question, I see no reason to end it with a question mark. 'Wonder' is a verb like any other verb. Example:
"I wonder what I will have for dinner tonight."
"I want to know what I will have for dinner tonight."

You're merely making a statement, not asking a question. If you're asking a question, it could be, "What will I have for dinner tonight?"
