Cheddar Onion Buttery Jack

Jack is back with a new Buttery Jack and this time he stacked a double pack of onion goodness on top of it.

The Cheddar Onion Buttery Jack has a 1/4 lb signature beef patty topped with melted garlic herb butter, two slices of cheddar cheese, crispy onions, grilled onions, and a caramelized onion aioli on a gourmet signature bun. We covered the burger in August when it was a test product and had a slightly different name. The burger is available for a limited time.

The burger has 969 calories, 65 grams of fat, 27 grams of saturated fat, 2 grams of trans fat, 144 milligrams of cholesterol, 1232 milligrams of sodium, 56 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, and 41 grams of protein.
