Smashed Jack
Jack in the Box joining the smash burger craze. Thin patties are pressed hard onto the grill for crispy, lacy edges, then stacked with cheese and the chain’s Boss Sauce. It is a more modern-tasting burger than the Jumbo Jack and a good sign the chain is paying attention to what people actually want now.

About Jack in the Box
Robert Peterson opened the first Jack in the Box in San Diego in 1951, one of the earliest restaurants built entirely around the drive-thru, with a giant clown on the roof and a speaker to order through. In 1980 the company literally blew up the clown in a TV ad to announce it was growing up, and the ping-pong-ball-headed Jack who replaced him has been the face of the chain since 1994.
Around 2,200 restaurants, mostly in the western and southern US.
