\"Jack<\/p>\n

Jack in the Box\u2019s new BBQ Bacon Cheeseburgers come with your choice of a sweet honey bourbon BBQ sauce or spicy red chili BBQ sauce. I prefer the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger with sweet BBQ sauce, which you can see above.<\/p>\n

Or is that a photo of the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger with spicy BBQ sauce that I also bought.<\/p>\n

Ugh. I don\u2019t remember. They look the same.<\/p>\n

Oh, they also look like Jack’s <\/a>Outlaw Burger.<\/p>\n

Besides the sauces, the burger brothers also come with a beef patty, bacon, onion rings, two slice of American cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes on a bun.<\/p>\n

Now I don’t know if this is a good thing or bad thing but the sweet BBQ sauce reminds me of what you can get with McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets. I don\u2019t taste bourbon, but it has a nice, sweet, and mellow flavor that will appeal to more taste buds.<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/p>\n

The spicy BBQ sauce is also tasty and slightly sweet, but VERY peppery. So much so that at one point it made me cough. Heatheads will think it\u2019s just a tickle, but if you\u2019re sensitive to spiciness, you should order one with the sweet BBQ sauce.<\/p>\n

But with either burger you\u2019ll get a lot of sauce. So don\u2019t take it out of the white paper wrapper it comes in.<\/p>\n

(The More You Know theme plays)<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/p>\n

The onion rings disappoint me. At first glance I thought these weren\u2019t Jack\u2019s wonderful Panko Onion Rings, but instead something that looks like they might\u2019ve come out of Burger King\u2019s fryers. But a closer inspection shows they have actual onion slices and not the onion mush in BK\u2019s offering. That\u2019s good, but the burgers would look more spectacular if they had one large Panko Onion Ring instead of the smaller pieces. It would also up the onion flavor and crunch, which these burgers could use a little more of.<\/p>\n

The bacon isn\u2019t impressive texture-wise. They are small limp pieces that don\u2019t fall out because they\u2019re incased in a melted cheese slice. But they do add a smokiness that complement both BBQ sauces. The beef patty seems to be the same one on the chain\u2019s Jumbo Jack, the lettuce provides a little crunch, and the tomato is there to fall out as you take a bite from the burgers. To be honest, I wish these were sans veggies.<\/p>\n

I know. Lots of little complaints. But as a whole, I found myself enjoying both versions of the burger, especially the sweet one shown below.<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/p>\n

Or is this the spicy one?<\/p>\n

Purchased Price:<\/b> $5.79 each*
\nSize:<\/b> N\/A
\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10 (Sweet BBQ Sauce)
\nRating:<\/b> 6 out of 10 (Spicy BBQ Sauce)
\nPros:<\/b> Both sauces are good, but I prefer the sweet one. Bacon adds a smokiness that complements the sauces. Lots of sauce. Two slices of cheese add a creaminess.
\nCons:<\/b> Spicy BBQ sauce is VERY peppery and might be too spicy for some. Wish the onion rings were bigger. Why are there lettuce and tomato? Limp bacon. Can be messy.<\/p>\n

*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here. You’ll probably pay less than I did.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
