I had Jack in the Box only once in my life. It was decades ago,
so my memory may not be 100% accurate. But I remember the burger being >>extremely greasy. Not bad, in and of itself. But it did make for a
messy lunch.
I do love a Sourdough Jack and Curly fries and I have them at least
once a year without fail.
That sounds so good! Unfortunately, the meal will prove too high
in net carbs for me to eat.
I've also been known to shove down an
Ultimate Cheeseburger. They advertise 100% beef in their burgers, so
the author of this story must have a personal "beef" with them for
suggesting they don't.
I suspect it's the use of a spice blend that the author is using
to justify the claim.
Their tacos use a different meat blend. In addition to beef, it
has maltodextrin, hydrolyzed soy protein (which MAY be in the burger
meat, but probably not), coloring and a *Mexican inspired* spice
blend.
According to my youngest, Beast Burger is TERRIBLE! I don't know
if it still exists. A quick check of Yelp shows it does still operate,
but, well, it sucks!

Looks like that location is run by incompetent goons. This is
interesting:
Based on what I've read of other locations, incompetence is a
prerequisite to offering Mr. Beast Burgers. Often cold and undercooked
food. Very long delivery/pick up times. I can understand why Jimmy
sued to get out of the agreement.
MrBeast Burger is a virtual brand offering a separate concept to run
out of your kitchen, available for delivery and pick up only via food >delivery services.
So it's not a "chain" as we know it.
There is, or at least was, a single physical location in New
Jersey. Every other "location" is a virtual kitchen, sometimes called
a ghost kitchen. There is nothing instantly wrong with this. But
nearly everything I've read about Mr. Beast Burger is negative.
White Castle is low? OK, it's been a while since I had WC, but I >>recall the burgers being really good.
I think White Castle is in a burger category all by itself.
There is a similar restaurant named Krystal. I call it a White
Castle Clone. The one time I had it, the food was, in effect, the same
as WC. They were also really good, as I recall.
In-N-Out is high. In other breaking news, fire is hot.
