JitB Breakfast Bowl

Somebody brought in a Jack in the Box Breakfats(*) Bowl into work on
Friday. After opening it, I guess she couldn't stomach the sight
(it is pretty scary looking). So when it was offered to me I
decided to play the innocent victim in the name of science.

The "Hearty Breakfats Bowl" features scrambled eggs, hash brown
sticks, bacon, and sausage topped with a white cheddar cheese sauce
and shredded cheddar cheese. (Sorry - no green onions. Maybe they
have those in the "Western Breakfast Bowl")

Everything is just piled on top of or next to each other so you
don't really know where one food starts and the other begins. Then
is all disguised in cheese sauce and shredded cheese. The hash
browns are on the bottom, so in addition to their usual grease, they
get to absorb all the other grease and liquid from above turning
them into a truly unappetizing glob.

It kinda reminds me of going to a breakfast buffet after an
all-nighter of womanizing and drinking and piling up a bunch of
stale greasy food and digging in. Not to get me wrong - these are
usually the best meals of the week. Tastewise, that is.

Will I buy one of these of my own accord? Probably not.

Nutrition Facts ¡V 1 bowl ¡V 780 calories, 60 grams of fat, 20 grams
of saturated fat, 6 grams of trans fat, 445 milligrams of
cholesterol, 1274 milligrams of sodium, 34 grams of carbs, 4 grams
of dietary fiber, 1 gram of sugar, 27 grams of protein.

That's 100% of the USRDA for Fat *and* Saturated Fat, 150% of the
USRDA of cholesterol, 60% of the USRDA of sodium, and a whopping 6
grams of TRANS FATS, which are soon to be downright highly illegal.
6 Grams of trans fat is truly unheard of these days.

It appears that JitB is still using hydrogenated oils. A large
order or Curly Fries has 10grams. EEeek. Didn't they get the memo?

It's not bad if you're on a low carb diet and can skip the hash browns

Translation: Either you eat fast-food regularly despite saying over and
over that you hate it, or actually DO hate it but your so fucking stupid you
cant stop eating it, or C. You really hate fast food but you like bitching
even MORE so that's why you eat it.

Which is is Steve? Only one can be possibe!! and one MUST be because you
ate the food!!!

This sounds about as disgusting as the "Magic Mountain" served at Ross'
Restaurant in Bettendorf, Iowa. I saved a menu from that trip simply
because it'so.... ugh! "Ross' Restaurant has long been known to have the
only Magic Mountain in Bettendorf, Iowa." Yeah, I'll bet! From their
website:

"For the uninitiated, Ross' basic Magic Mountain, which was created by
Cynthia's husband Ron Friedhof, starts off with grilled Texas toast covered
with Ross'special hamburger meat, then is piled high with a choice of either
French fries or hash browns and smothered with cheese sauce. A diner can
request his or her mountain be capped with snow -- an option of chopped
onion."

You can add chili and extra cheese sauce, too! We cringed. Yikes!

Note: we ordered scrambled eggs, a couple of strips of bacon and toast and
then got the hell out of there.

No doubt. I about upchucked at the first ingredient, Texas toast.
Isn't that the toast where you essentially grill a piece of bread on a
griddle in a pool of oil? ....both sides? ICK!

What is really scary is that it's popular enough that they continue to
market it.

The common masses do not have refined tastes.

Less nauseating for sure. Something that greasy makes my teeth hurt just

But from a marketing standpoint, pretty smart. Fat-asses lining up
around the block to buy a little plastic bowl 2/3 full of instant
mashed potatoes, with a few fried chicken skin bits and some gravy and
corn on top of it for $4.99, ha!

The "Breakfast Mountain" has eggs and sausage - closer to what JitB
is peddling.

Carl's Jr was peddling those grease bowls, years ago. Don't know if
they still do.

Pool of oil? Hardly. It's the same thing you do with a grilled
cheese sandwich. You butter it and grill it, with cheese inside.

Texas Toast is really just extra thick bread (toasted or not). All
the major bread makers around here market it.

Hi Lee!

You'd hate some of my recipes then ;-) Some use 'gently knarfed ribs' (en
family only I assure you, never for guests). In other words, the rib bones
might get used to deepen a broth after nibbling most of the meat off. I
know, terrible! Havent done it in a few years but in Japan when money was
*tight*, sometimes a pork rib bone would land in the bean pot for some extra
flavor. Of course i make stock of chicken and duck bones but you don't
'gently knarf' the meat off the bones in that case.

totally different when you are making it at home, i just wonder when in an
out situation if the corn or spuds are recycled... i really haave an over
active mind when it comes to this, reusing food at home is NOT wasting and
that suits me... if DH serves too much i have been known to have him combine
our plates for a later snack, that doesn't bother me, its the "unkown
family" concept that bothers me, Lee
