Jack in the Box

Jack in the Box

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...

BurgerFi

BurgerFi The Woodlands, TX Cheeseburger American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, BurgerFi Sauce $7.47 For today, I had the luck of being at BurgerFi's Customer Appreciation Day (which was really just a reopening) and happened to be one of the 50 who got the free burgers for a year, and normally I would be super excited about that, but unfortunately, the burger has me less excited that I have to eat 51 more of them within the next year. To start off, my order was wrong, which I get it was super busy so I'm not going to hold that against them, but I hope that is not a regular thing. Once I did get my correct order and sat down to eat, I was very surprised by how small the burger was. My fiance got a single patty burger and there was no way that was filling. When you have the double patty, it was a little more obviously, but the burgers are VERY hand held. The bun was probably my favorite part of the whole burger. It was thick enough to absorb the liquids on th...

Black Bear Diner

Black Bear Diner Nationwide Parmesan Sourdough Cheeseburger Dijon Mustard, Swiss Cheese, Tomato, & Grilled Onions on Thick-Crust Sourdough Bread grilled golden with a Garlic Parmesan Cheese Crust $10.99 If you have had the fortune of wandering the new Metropark Square in Conroe, you might have noticed this really cool and interesting new place, called the Black Bear Diner, which is COMPLETELY decked out in Bear stuff. My kids loved everything about it. My fiance loved the breakfast plates. I did not take a loving to the burger. As you can see, the burger actually LOOKS incredible. I was super psyched when reading it, and even more so when it came out, so description and appearance are 5/5, but it's when I tasted it was when the issues started. The meat was probably one of the least favorite meat patties I have had since starting this blog. It was bland and even worse it was tough and chewy. It was almost like chewing a piece of rubber. I was shocked, because...
