<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I look at the Jack in the Box Smoky Jack, all I think to myself is, “Thank goodness I don’t have to deal with a random drug test today because that’s a urine-tainting amount of poppyseeds.” There are so many that this bun would look at an everything bagel and yell, \u201cHave some decency and cover yourself up!\u201d<\/p>\n
Besides the artisan poppyseed bun, the burger also includes a beef patty, lettuce, tomato, hickory smoked bacon, smoked cheddar cheese, and a condiment called hickory sauce. The Smoky Jack is also available with crispy chicken.<\/p>\n
While the bun might blow away any chance of me passing a drug test, the burger as a whole doesn\u2019t blow me away taste-wise.<\/p>\n
The smoky cheddar is a welcomed change from the regular cheeses Jack uses. Usually, it seems as if the cheese is there to prevent other toppings from falling out, but not provide much flavor. But the smoky mild cheddar does add a bit of smokiness AND prevents toppings from falling out. Its flavor lingers in the mouth well after the burger is consumed. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The bacon, cemented to the cheddar, is a bit chewy, but adds even more smokiness. As for the beef patty, it\u2019s a little dry, but that\u2019s par for the course and something I’m used to.<\/p>\n
The tomato seems fresh and the lettuce is as green as lettuce could be, which I bring up because that\u2019s rare in the fast food world. As for the hickory sauce, I\u2019m not sure my burger got it because the condiment tastes more like peppercorn mayonnaise. But whatever it is, its light flavor allows the smokiness of the other two toppings to come through. The bun has a sweetness to it, but the poppyseeds don\u2019t add any flavor or texture.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Thanks to the bacon and cheese, the Smoky Jack earns its name. But its smokiness make me yearn for another. As a whole, it’s a decent burger, but it\u2019s also boring when you compare it with something like the chain\u2019s Buttery Jacks or anything from the late night Munchies menu. Think of it as a slight upgrade from a Jumbo Jack. <\/p>\n
I have to admit, being the headliner of a special inexpensive $4.99 combo does make it taste a little bit better. But it\u2019s not something that would make me beckon the Crave Van and its property damage wake so that I can eat it.<\/p>\n

\nSize:<\/b> N\/A
\nRating:<\/b> 6 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Decent burger. Cheese’s smokiness is noticeable. Green lettuce. Being part of a $4.99 combo makes it taste a little bit better.
\nCons:<\/b> Blanket of poppyseeds on bun might cause you to fail a drug test. Kind of boring when comparing it to other Jack in the Box offerings. Dry beef patty. Chewy bacon. I don’t crave it.<\/p>\n
*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here. In most areas the Smoky Jack combo is being advertised for $4.99.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
