And now my day has gotten off on the wrong foot and, I mean, they say it comes in threes, so what other two gloomy events are going to happen to me today?<\/p>\n<p>The Grilled French Toast Plate is part of Jack\u2019s Brunchfast menu and it features three pieces of French toast, your choice of bacon or sausage, and syrup. Mine came with two syrup containers. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s the universe trying to balance my bad start or if that\u2019s what Jack in the Box employees are instructed to do.<\/p>\n<p>But those containers came in handy because the French toast by themselves are a bit bland. There\u2019s a slight egginess and an even more slight sweetness, but it\u2019s lacking flavor beyond that. There was powdered sugar on the pieces, but most of it had melted into the bread by the time I opened the plastic container they came in. I\u2019m disappointed they didn\u2019t have any cinnamon flavor or butteriness.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Jack-in-the-Box-Grilled-French-Toast-Plate-2.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" alt=\"Jack in the Box Grilled French Toast Plate 2\" title=\"Jack in the Box Grilled French Toast Plate 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I dumped the syrup from one of the containers onto all three pieces. One container has enough to coat all of them, but even with that, the grilled bread didn\u2019t have as much sweetness as I\u2019m used to with French toast. So I found myself using the second container as a dip. <\/p>\n<p>The pieces were soft enough that I could use my fork to cut through them. But that\u2019s the only positive thing I could say about them. Well, I thought they looked great, but that belief faded away as soon as I tried them.<\/p>\n<p>As for the sausage, it too was soft enough that I could use my fork to cut through it. It\u2019s salty, porky, and, now that I think about it, I should\u2019ve used it as the meat for a French toast sandwich. That might\u2019ve made the French toast better.<\/p>\n<p>I really like the Southwest Scrambler Plate on the Brunchfast menu. I\u2019ve ordered it almost a dozen times by now. But I can\u2019t say the same about the Grilled French Toast Plate, and this is the only time I\u2019ll ever buy it.<\/p>\n<p>Now if you&#8217;ll excuse me, I have go prepare myself for whatever calamities will come my way today.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; w\/sausage and w\/o syrup &#8211; 555 calories, 213 calories from fat, 24 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 193 milligrams of cholesterol, 1263 milligrams of sodium, 137 milligrams of potassium, 66 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 12 grams of sugar, and 19 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $4.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> N\/A<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> French toast pieces were soft and easy to cut with a fork.
