Y'all saw the commercial last night for the new Buttery Jack? I'm very tempted to go and try this, even though it isn't healthy.

I stumbled upon an online review of it by a couple of dudes who review fast food products, and they said it was bad.

The herb butter is more like additional grease.

I always get the Jumbo Jack. I'll stick with the downscale.

Looks pretty damn good. I'll eat 3-4 of them and let you know.

Kinda figured that. That isn't like putting butter on top of a prime cut of steak -- it's going on top of cheap, fatty ground beef.

I find that fast food burgers tend to come out dry. Perhaps the butter will help reduce the dryness?

I love those nasty tacos. I'll double downscale.

Yeah, it just doesn't work to me. Butter on a burger sounds good, but I don't think it works in execution. It will melt and be a runny/greasy mess.

Jumbo Jack and two tacos is a hangover cure or a 3am delight.

So I tried this burger (the garlic butter burger) yesterday, and I recommend it. I got it to-go and could smell the garlic butter right away. It's definitely more "upscale" of a burger than what they usually do. Mainly due to the bun and the garlic butter. It wasn't messy at all and had good flavor.

If not for the butter, it would have been pretty dry. When I get fast food burgers to go, I find that they are almost always dry.

I've only had Jack in the Box twice, and both times my intestines shut down

Guess they want to follow McDonald's recent path of declining sales, earning and market share.

The butter is likely spread on the bun and the bun is seared on the griddle. This actually keeps your bread from getting soggy from mayo and tomatoes. So basically this will have the opposite effect that you thought it would.

Had it. Quite tasty. $6.50 for combo. Bun more like a roll, good too.

McDonalds raising many of their prices recently. Not gonna be good for sales.

I rarely have a craving for fast food and I don't think Jack n the Box has ever been one of those places I have craved.

random FF cravings:
McDonalds coke/diet
Sonic cheese sticks or diet cherry limeade
chickfila chicken nuggets on sunday
raising canes chicken strips and sauce
krystal chicks or burgers at 2am
