Hmm. Not the best news for Detroit's obesity epidemic.
Saw that news...bringing back memories of late night tacos after a Pine Knob concert or just hanging out with friends!
Looks like we'll have to drive west to enjoy a Jack Taco. Just like I'm driving to Monroe to enjoy a Taco John meal!
Not getting the Metro Detroit part of the memo. I'm not driving across the state for that place.Quote:

Not a good idea to use or confuse listeria for a condiment I guess…
Tried one of their 'butter burgers' in Washington State a few years ago. It was one of the most disgusting meals I've ever purchased.
You are what you eat, and Americans are ding dongs and butter burgers on the hoof, both mentally and physically.Quote:

There used to be a Jack-in-the-Box on Mack Avenue in Grosse Pointe Woods and it was open very late. Great place to stop on the way home from a night on the town to order up a Breakfast Jack.
The article doesn't confirm that there will be locations in Metro Detroit.Quote:

where on Mack?
what are the foods that are "good" there?
not speaking on "healthy" foods at fast food places, of course.
I think it is now an Urgent Care, north side of Mack Ave., between Moross and Vernier, but closer to Vernier.
I only remember one Jack in the Box back in the 70's, on 8 Mile, near Ryan.
^^ Went there a few times with friends who lived nearby.
Also there was one on Masonic between Utica and Groesbeck.
Can't wait for the commercials.

When I was a kid [[in the late 70's) there was a Jack in the Box at 12 and Orchard Lk. I barely remember it as I was young and it closed likely in the late 70s.
I lived in LA for for a couple years in my 20's and my friends always went to Jack in the Box for their tacos after the bars [[I didn't really go to the bars often) so I never got them till one day I was driving home in the early evening and decided they must be good and went through the drive through to grab a quick cheap dinner, it was one of the nastiest things I ever ate LOL
Hah! Somehow 'butter and burger' is the tip off for a bad meal IMO.

and I don't think JitB added the "buttery Jack" until 2015

I do recall their Sourdough Melt and Wisconsin Swiss Melt sandwiches being surprisingly greasy. Not saying that's good or bad. Just saying.
Their Flavor of the Day gimmick seems like a winner to get repeat traffic.
The only thing they put butter on is the bun at Culver's. The hamburgers are cooked in a conventional way. I think they're pretty good. Their Fish and Chips are surprisingly good.Quote:
