JACK IN THE BOX SOURDOUGH JACK

Fast food comes in all shapes and sizes and one of the best times to have it in America is for breakfast. Today, we look at an item that is part of the Jack in the Box restaurant menu. The chain headquarters are in San Diego and they have 2,200 locations, potentially in the west of the country.

Sourdough Jack is an item not for the faint hearted as it is pretty big and a lot to enjoy. The product is a beef patty on sourdough bread, topped with bacon, tomato, swiss style cheese, mayonnaise and ketchup. It is then all toasted for a huge mouthful delight. It can be purchased for around $3.59, it has approx 46 grams of fat and 680 calories.

There are a lot of positive reviews of the product online with people comparing it to a sort of patty melt.
