JITB is the only fast food place where they have commercials and food items that are clearly marketed towards stoners. I use to eat fast food every day, I've cut back to maybe once every 3 weeks. I was watching TV today at work and the commercial for this came on. I figured it probably sucks but commercial was amusing and a few hours later I talked to a stoner who said his brother has been known to woof down 2 of these in a single night. So I decided to go and give it a try.

I got the Exploding Cheesy Chicken one, wtf on the name. Basically it's a shitty chicken sandwich with fried cheese sticks & some white cheese sauce. Oh, and some lettuce - Kudos to Jack for adding veggies. It comes with half an order of regular and half an order of curly fries. Curly Fries FUCKING OWN. Jack's regular fries are pretty decent too. Then you get 2 tacos and a drink. It comes in an actual box with the fries spread out all over the place. For some off reason these combos are only served after 9PM.

The Chicken was much better than their normal 99 chicken sammich, I like cheese so the overkill of it wasn't a bad thing. It wasn't fantastic, but then again I order and ate this completely sober. Which I think fucks up the whole purpose.

Both types of fries were crispy and hot, there actually wasn't all that many of them.

Fuck authentic and fuck haters, JiTB Tacos are great. I don't eat them very often, but once in awhile they're just fucking delicious. Nowhere has Tacos even close to these.

I opted out on the soda and got a bottle of water.

It was $6.26 out the door, so it's a pretty decent deal. As I was eating the sammich I went to JiTB.com to look up the nutritional information. No surprise here but this shit's horrible for you. It has close to an entire days worth of calories, a whole lot of fat and enough sodium to make the CEO of Chipotle jealous. What's that, 92g of fat? JEBUS! But it does have 11g of fiber and 42g of protein :D

Overall it was decent, I believe intoxicated, on either alcohol or the green stuff this would have been dynamite. And even with the assload of calories it was pretty easy for me to eat the whole thing.

JITB does not exist in my state q.q

Uhh... Yes it does.

I had the stacked grilled cheese burger the other night. It was really good. The one complaint I would have is that they out that same cheese sauce on the burger. If they skipped that and put thousand island on the burger it would have been perfect.

And yes, I too love jacks tacos.

I also had a friend that tried the brunch burger. He deemed it a poor substitute for the Carl's Jr breakfast burger.

Might not measure up, but you can get it at Jack after 9pm. JiTB serving breakfast 24/7's absolutely genius of them. I've never had the brunch burger, but the Carl one is pretty good. It pails compared to a Extreme Sausage on grilled sourdough from Jack though imho.

Also, remember you can get these munchie meals at anytime. You don't have to wait until 9pm to get it.

The web site says 9PM-5AM, they also have big ass signs plastered all over the 2 JiTB's up the street from me that say served after 9PM. I don't understand why they do this, but I guess they have their reasons.

I once got a warm milkshake from jack in the box. It was still thick like a cold shake, but it was warm. Grossed me out enough I've never been back.

Their web site says ice cream shake but it doesn't say milk shake. It may have a thickener like carrageenan. Remember if the menu says shake but it doesn't say milk shake it isn't a milk shake.

Sometimes visit the JiTB on Alpha/Preston, though I prefer Whataburger, especially now that they have one on Montfort.

Sounds like too much cheese. I had the Shake Stack at the Shake Shack and it almost made me throw up for all the cheese. This sounds even worse.

I used to love the tacos there, but then one day I realized it was mostly fryer grease that I was eating and haven't been able to enjoy them since.
