Jack in the box, why do you taunt us?

[stjr]

There's not a Jack In the Box fast food restaurant in Florida or Georgia, yet I see their commercials regularly on t.v.

Usually if a franchise isn't in your region, they don't advertise there, but these commercials have been on t.v. for quite some time.

Normally I wouldn't care, but after trying them out while visiting Seattle, I found their burgers to be quite tasty and the commercials are basically a form of torture to me now.

I suppose we have Hardees for our 1000+ calorie burger needs,  but it's not the same.

We used to have Jack in the Box here in the late 70's, early 80's.  The were owned by Ralston Purina (yes, the animal food company) at the time and that was apropos because some would say their pet food line was better  !  I have never been back.  Maybe they have improved/revised their line up since then based on comments here.

For really quality burgers and food, 5 Guys is the place to go.

Agree!  Five Guys beats 'em all, bar-none. 

There's a Long John Silvers on Beach, heading out towards the Intracoastal.  It's packaged with a KFC/A&W I think.  The one in Arlington may or may not still be open?  The one on San Jose in Mandarin is long gone.

There is a LJS in Springfield on Main and one on Edgewood in the Paxon area.
