I intended to make this a review of the beyond burger, but Jack in the Box was closer than Carl's Jr.
Specifically, I made my mom a meatball sub for dinner. She loved it, but I think those meatballs taste like farts smell. So she can have the fartballs.
Instead, while we were walking the dog, I dipped into JBox, and picked up the two current fry offerings. Bacon & Cheddar, and Steak & Parm.
During the walk, I ate the Bacon & Cheddar fries. They were disappointing. Essentially bacon bits over curly fries, and I honestly did not notice any cheddar. Perhaps it was smothered with the UNADVERTISED ranch sauce.
I am an enemy of Ranch. If I have to have it on a salad, I will not make a scene, but personally, I consider Ranch Dressing to be an abomination.
There are exactly TWO notes on which I would recommend this dish. First, it is on curly fries, and curly fries are fantastic. Second, the container. A few years back, Jbox tried to sell Garlic Cholula fries, and they used "boats" a fast food container that is a bit longer than a standard takeout box. They then turned this boat into a coffin. The fries were good, and Jbox were stupid to relegate the menu item to promotional. That's pretty much the only thing that drags me into Jbox, but they really had something special with the cholula fries.
Anyway, what dragged me in on this one was that several nights, the parking lot has smelled of bacon and French fries. A siren song if I've ever smelled one. The result obviously did not live up to the hype.
STEAK & PARM.
I get why they say PARM instead of parmesan. The cheese on these fries is not worthy of the name.
Honestly, if you slit open a philly steak & Cheese hot pocket, and dumped it on some curly fries... It would be the same bless'ed menu item. I got sick from eating this.
It's as if I had drank wallpaper paste. I leave the rest to your imagination. DO NOT BUY THIS FOOD ITEM. The Steak & Parm Sauced & Loaded Fries should be considered a weapon only for use against our enemies.
I'm still mad.
