Sourdough Jack
Tomato, Bacon, Swiss-style Cheese, Mayo, & Ketchup on Soughdough Bun
$5.39



I want to apologize to all my followers in advance as I was on a time crunch due to the holidays and could not find the time to properly select a place to review and instead in my chaotic Black Friday shopping, opted to go through a drive through and landed on Jack in the Box.
Back in high school, the Sourdough Jack was my go to burger because there was a Jack in the Box right in front of my neighborhood but honestly, since I graduated and moved, I found myself very seldom going to Jack in the Box in general and I don't know if my taste buds have changed or the burger ingredients have changed but I just didn't get the same enjoyment from this burger that I used to.
To put things into perspective, I liked the overall size of the burger, it was very filling, however the meat patty was not. It was a very thin patty (much thinner than I remember) and I found that most of the burger was just bread (which wasn't bad, we will get to that later).
The bacon was a cheap, flimsy bacon that I honestly wouldn't have known was there if I didn't physically see it. The cook blasted my burger with ketchup making almost every bite a ketchup explosion which I really didn't care for, but that has more to do with the cook error, then the overall burger. And lastly, the tomato were just basic fast food thin sliced tomatoes.
As far as what this burger did right, it wasn't much but there were 2 things. The Swiss-Style cheese was always something that I liked about this burger and was just a good cheese to have on, as I tend to get bored of burgers that just throw American Cheese on things and call it a day. And my favorite part of the burger is the Soughdough. I love Sourdough in general and wish I could find more burgers in my chase that are on Sourdough, which I think is why I yearned for this particular burger. It was big and flavorful especially with their slapped on butter and I think I would have just preferred getting two pieces of sourdough with the cheese on it instead of this burger.
Honestly, keep moving on and wait for next week when I review a REAL burger.




VERDICT: 1.5 out of 5 Stars.

And so the Chase continues…

The Dugout

The Dugout Texarkana, Arkansas Double Header & The Slugger Double Header-2 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Single Patty The Slugger-Single with Cheddar Cheese, Grilled Pineapple, Bang Bang Sauce, served on a White Bun $8.99 (Double Header), $6.29 (The Slugger) Over the past few weeks, I have been very busy with work and then on vacation road tripping to Nashville, Tennessee. So naturally on this road trip I had to get some burgers, and I decided to get multiple burgers at each stop to make up for all the weeks that I missed. The first burger I tried was the Double Header. In the easiest way to describe it, this was a burger patty smashed between 2 grilled cheese sandwiches. Now this doesn't seem like the most creative burger in the world, but it was FUN burger. And it was REALLY good. The Dugout is a hidden gem in Texarkana, their burgers are great! Now while I would love to give this burger a lot of points, I have to take into consideratio...

Walden War-Tejas Cafe

Tejas Cafe (Mariel's Deli) & (Walden Market) Montgomery, TX Tejas Burger Cheese, Jalapenos, Onions, Cilanto & Chipotle Mayo on a Jalapeno Bun (with Ketchup at Tejas Cafe Walden Market) $7 For this week, I had a friend recommend me a place to go but when looking up the place, I found that there were two of the same name on the same road and when I couldn't get a hold of said friend, I had a very tough decision to make. I either tried one and hoped it was the right one, or I TRY THEM BOTH. I got both, and therefore we have the War on Walden Road between the Two Tejas Cafes. Now both Tejas Cafes are within Shell gast stations on Walden road, one in the Shell that has "Mariel's Deli" and one that has "Walden Market". Before I start, I can tell there is some skepticism, "You want me to eat gas station food?" Trust me, I had THE SAME THOUGHT before I was led to this place, but holy shit was I wrong. THIS PLACE IS GREAT. Ri...

Lord's Kitchen

Lord's Kitchen San Antonio, TX 1/2 lb Cheeseburger Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle, Onion $10.25 I usually love my trips out of town because I get to go to a burger place that I don't have access to on a daily basis within my local area, but instead I was left with a severe feeling of disappointment on my drive home after eating a burger from the Lord's Kitchen. I opted to go with a regular cheeseburger because I wanted a full meal of fries and a drink and looking back now, I should maybe have gotten a specialty burger instead. The toppings that came on this burger were all the average things that you would expect from a burger place and it didn't taste like they were high quality, now they did not taste like they were of bad quality, just an average kind of taste. The meat, which I feel like should be the thing that you should take pride on, was bland. It honestly tasted to me like a burger that one may find at a drive thru like Burger King or Wend...
