Jack in the Box Prime Rib Cheesesteak Reviews

For this calendar week's Maila Ta Fan Boka, nosotros decided to think inside the box – Jack in the Box, that is.

The Upper Tumon fast-food joint gave us an invite to try out a express line of sandwiches inspired past street flavors becoming trendy all around the U.South.

"This new menu is called the Nutrient Truck Serial," says brand representative Diane Suhr. "Jack in the Box was really inspired by the food-truck movement and nosotros love that."

Although the place is known as a burger eatery, and although burgers do big-time sales in your friendly neighborhood foodmobile, Jack in the Box embarked on a world tour for its new menu.

Their Asian Fried Craven Sandwich, Prime Rib Cheesesteak and Pork Belly BLT are a far cry from Jack in the Box flagship flare.

Let's start off with the obvious: All three offerings are banh mi-inspired. The Vietnamese sandwich has become a Southeast Asian international sensation, with banh mi food trucks and restaurants popping upwards all over the world (seriously, we even have a few places offer banh mi on Guam).

A good banh mi is an explosion of flavors that features dissimilar arrangements of pork, chicken, pate, ham, cilantro, pickled daigo, mayo and whatever else, all packed into a baguette.

Permit's start off talking about Jack in the Box'southward baguette, shall we?

They make theirs with rice flour, which imparts a kind of soft chewiness into the staff of life. Regular French baguettes are of course crusty, merely at Jack in the Box expect your baguette to be something in between the French staple and white bread in terms of texture.

Comfort-food feel

The bread makes a pleasing mantle from which nosotros enjoyed the Prime number Rib Cheesesteak. We know this one is going to be a crowd pleaser with the late-nighttime oversupply. Thick sliced prime rib gets a garlic butter simmer before it'due south topped with creamy, steamy melted provolone cheese. It'south definitely got that comfort-food feel that so many people crave after a nighttime out. Savory, beefy and garlicy with each cheesy bite. Can't mutter virtually that.

Now, we know the internet goes crazy about bacon, but what nearly salary's more refined and worldly older sibling – pork belly? Jack in the Box has a new "B" in its BLT, and it stands for "Assuming," (not really, nosotros just fabricated that upward, but they tin can pay united states for the ad copy on that). Delicious, fat pork gets seared before it'south loaded into that nice banh mi bun we were talking about before. Then information technology'southward topped with a tangy honey aioli that is perfectly complemented by the tomatoes. Don't expect u.s.a. to celebrate lettuce, ever. Much like rice is to a CHamoru lunch plate, lettuce in a BLT is merely supposed to be there or information technology's wrong. Everything else is fantastic in this modern twist on the BLT.

Finally, we bit into our kiridu of this trifecta of Jack in the Box offerings: the Asian Fried Chicken Sandwich. The star hither is the way the fresh cucumber, gochujang mayo and Asian slaw balance out the seasoned all-white-meat chicken strips. It's what banh mi should be – an explosion of all kinds of different flavors from the Eastward and West. Yous tin taste the tangy, pungent gochujang mayo, the sesame infused slaw and the crispy, savory chicken strips in each bite. Wonderful.

Surreptitious menu item?

Before we called information technology quits at the Upper Tumon eating place, Assistant Manager Cassandra Gaag had one more than play a trick on upwards her sleeve before we left. She let us in on a petty undercover – the pork belly and fried-rice bowl that is a secret menu item, available merely on Guam and Hawaii.

You know we approve of the Jack in the Box pork belly – it's savory, seared, fatty and delicious. But we call back your Nåna would approve of this fried rice, as well. It tastes similar Dominicus forenoon, local manner. Jack in the Box took Portuguese sausage, Spam, eggs, a myriad of seasonings and essentially created a combo fried rice.

And yous know islanders would never let a restaurant get away with serving a skimpy order of fried rice. Jack in the Box piles it on for customers, so y'all're covered. The pork abdomen and fried-rice bowl, even so, is not something yous're going to see advertised, so when you lot go to the bulldoze-thru, just tell them The Guam Daily Mail service sent yous, and that you want to see what all the fuss is about over their fried rice.

Past the way, Gaag asks u.s.a. to remind you lot that for $2.99 you can add pork belly to any bill of fare detail at the restaurant.

Just brand sure you caput to Jack in the Box before mid-April, as the Food Truck serial items – including the pork belly – only runs through the beginning of the calendar month!
