\"Burger<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve enjoyed Jack in the Box\u2019s Buttery Jack topped with garlic herb butter and are looking at trying Burger King\u2019s new Extra Long Buttery Cheeseburger because you expect the garlic and butter in it to make it enjoyable too, STOP!<\/p>\n

Stop following your nose to the flame-grilled aroma coming out of the vents at the Burger King location you\u2019re planning to go to.<\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019ve never had the pleasure of trying a Buttery Jack from Jack in the Box because there isn\u2019t a location anywhere near you or their mascot\u2019s head freaks you out or you stopped going because you looked up \u201cjack in the box\u201d on Urban Dictionary and can\u2019t stop giggling every time you hear those words, you might like the Extra Long Buttery Cheeseburger.<\/p>\n

The limited time only cheeseburger features two beef patties topped with onions, lettuce, ketchup, mayonnaise, American cheese, and a buttery garlic flavored sauce on a toasted hoagie bun. So it\u2019s basically the chain\u2019s regular Extra Long Cheeseburger with another condiment.<\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/a><\/p>\n

Comparing Jack in the Box\u2019s garlic herb butter with Burger King\u2019s buttery garlic flavored sauce would be like comparing chocolate with chocolatey. Chocolatey is not quite chocolate because it\u2019s missing cocoa butter, and buttery garlic sauce is not quite garlic butter because it doesn\u2019t contain butter. Instead it\u2019s got a bunch of oils and natural flavor that try to make it buttery. <\/p>\n

As for the garlic flavor, according to the BK website, the sauce has garlic powder, garlic, and natural garlic flavor listed as ingredients. All those oils, natural flavor, and garlic ingredients create a sauce that not at all buttery and slightly garlicky. Although there are actual garlic products in it, the sauce tastes cheap and artificial.<\/p>\n

As you read three paragraphs ago, this burger has a lot of different parts and that combined with the sauce not having strong flavors make it hard for any butteriness or garlic to shine through. The flavor of Burger King\u2019s flame grilled beef stands out and whatever garlic flavor does enhance it. But, again, there\u2019s a lot going on with the burger that distracts my taste buds. I mean, is ketchup and mayonnaise REALLY necessary?<\/p>\n

The burger as a whole doesn\u2019t make me want to put on a Burger King kids meal crown, run up to strangers, and praise it. It\u2019s okay, but it\u2019s basically an Extra Long Cheeseburger with a hint of garlic. To be honest, it really should\u2019ve been called the Extra Long Garlicky Cheeseburger, because no buttery flavor comes through.<\/p>\n

\nPurchased at:<\/b> Burger King
\nRating:<\/b> 5 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Whatever garlic flavor there is does enhance the flavor of the flame-grilled patties. Jack in the Box’s Buttery Jack. Available on BK’s 2 for $5 menu.
\nCons:<\/b> Sauce isn’t buttery and not very garlicky. Having too many toppings helps dampen whatever garlic flavor there is. Is three condiments really necessary? Just an Extra Long Cheeseburger with an extra sauce.<\/p>\n
