Jack in the Box in B.A.

[dbacks fan]

Just a little more research. The Vons Cos. referenced as the vendor of the contaminated meat is the parent company of Safeway, and many other grocery stores.

And Mr. Marler, who said he recovered about $ 40 million in settlements for clients in the Jack in the Box cases, praised the companies and their lawyers for the way they've handled the claims: "They paid out in a way that made everybody walking away form the settlement table think they had been treated fairly."

I bet he was full of praise, to the tune of about $10 to $12mm personally.

There's a reason why it's called Yak in the Box.

That's what happened when In-N-Out Burger came to Phoenix and it is still the same way 6 years later.

They've been open in California since 1948 and most locations there still have long lines too.

I don't get In-N-Out. HIGHLY overrated. The burgers are just ok, but come with a gross mayonnaisey sauce on them, and the fries suk. Also, they print cryptic bible verses on the bottom of the cups and burger wrappers which is kinda creepy in a cultish way.

Ron's, Hank's, Claude's, Weber's, or Brownie's are all much better.

I love Ron's, Hank's, Claude's, Weber's and Brownie's, I also prefer Coney-I-Lander, over Carl's and the others.

In-N-Out has it's special place because nothing is frozen, processed, or preserved, and their menu is simple and they do everything the same no matter which location you go to. Also, they are still family owned, they do not franchise, and they have no alligance to anyone. They raise their own beef and vegetables. If you have a problem with the bible verses, that's alright, and if you don't like their sauce that's OK as well, I will take exception on the fries because they do not come from a bag marked "Fries" they are made daily from actual potatos and if you want something different from the menu they will make it. If you want a double meat and double cheese with grilled onions, they will make it.

Look up the hidden In-N-Out list of special orders, and find a combination that you don't like, Oh wait a minute, there is nothing you like about them. They have been privately run for how many years? They have not been bought out by Pepsico, Coca Cola, and they continue to stand on their principles. They are the Braums of burgers and fries, and if you think that the people that work there are just "How May I Help You?" you are sorely mistaken. They don't look at a register and punch picture buttons that match the order placed

I've been to enough of the I&Os to know that I think they're a wanna be franchisee system and IMO, overrated.  They remind me of the west coast version of our Backyard Burger, only with more locations.

I don't go to any of the big chain hamburger places either.  Braum's, Hank's (I live literally within walking distance) and Ron's are the only burgers I'll eat.  I like Ron's because their sausage cheeseburger holds a special place in my stomach.  But their spanish cheese fries are pure heaven.

My co-workers and I used to eat a monstrosity that was the spanish chili cheese fries.

We used to call that the 'gastric anomaly'.

I am well aware of their 'secret' menu. That's just it, though- there isn't anything else to like. It's only burgers and fries. That's it. I said I thought their burgers were ok, and certainly when I do eat there I get a special order to relieve the poor thing of that mayonnaise crap. Their fries are really dry and nasty IMO as a result of trying to be healthier. If you are going to blow your diet on that many calories and fat at least it should taste good.

I agree about their employees- always friendly and helpful. The whole bible verse thing- why do it subliminally? That's the creepy part. If they want to be Christians, fine, but don't be sneaky about it.

I think they are up to near 250 stores now. Franchise? Not yet. But make no mistake, they are a big fast food chain and fairly mediocre at that. Better than some of the others, but with an extremely limited menu. I just don't understand the cult following.

So KJRH, while discussing development along the new I44 corridor, deemed the possibility of a new Jack in the Box at I44 and Yale as newsworthy this morning.

Yay?
