But that\u2019s not the case with the burger I received, which had the right amount of funk that allows the other ingredients to come through.<\/p>\n<p>The white crumbles add a noticeable creaminess and saltiness but don\u2019t add an overpowering blue cheese flavor. Because of the lack of a strong funk, the bacon and blue cheese make a wonderful couple, but not because the two headlining ingredients start with the letter B and not because both can make people smile. Their different flavors and saltiness meld together to create a pleasantly balanced savoriness that I like eating.<\/p>\n<p>The grilled onions also enhance the burger\u2019s flavor and add a slight vegetable snap to go along with the cheese\u2019s creaminess, the bun\u2019s fluffiness, the patty\u2019s soft chew, and the bacon\u2019s, um, I can\u2019t say crispiness because it wasn\u2019t. Um, I\u2019ll say well doneness.<\/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\/2018\/10\/Jack-in-the-Box-Blue-Cheese-Bacon-Ribeye-Burger-3.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jack in the Box Blue Cheese  Bacon Ribeye Burger 3\" title=\"Jack in the Box Blue Cheese &#038; Bacon Ribeye Burger 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I know it\u2019s a premium burger with a premium price. But when I took it out of its clamshell box and paper wrapper, I couldn\u2019t help but think I overpaid for it because it&#8217;s on the small side. Also, to be honest, I don\u2019t know what\u2019s so special about these Ribeye patties. I had a Ribeye Burger when it debuted last year, and I felt the beef wasn\u2019t better than the usual meat Jack in the Box uses for its Jumbo Jack. The patty in this burger didn&#8217;t change my feelings. Maybe it&#8217;s just me. <\/p>\n<p>Overall, Jack in the Box\u2019s Blue Cheese &#038; Bacon Ribeye Burger is tasty. Of course, your results with the blue cheese may vary. You may get one made by someone who\u2019s a little overzealous with the distribution of the crumbled cheese, making the funk freaky. But, of course, you can fix that with some fast food surgery.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 650 calories, 40 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 gram of trans fat, 100 milligrams of cholesterol, 1220 milligrams of sodium, 39 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 6 grams of sugar, and 35 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $6.89*<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> N\/A<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> My burger had a nice savoriness thanks to the one-two punch of blue cheese and bacon.
