There’s a new burger coming to Jack in the Box on Thursday and it’s called Double Jack. The Double Jack features two quarter-pound beef patties, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard, pickles and onions on a butter-toasted bun.

The Double Jack features two quarter-pound beef patties, two slices of American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, and onions on a butter-toasted bun. While the whole setup sounds pretty basic and not-so-exciting, it's meant to serve as a platform to highlight some of the menu changes Jack in the Box meant to result in tastier, fresher food.

Those changes include mayo rather than mayo-onion sauce, a new bun, the buttering of their buns, and the retiring of the current grill seasoning on their beef patties. I should have more details when the changes and launch are implemented this Thursday. In the meantime, I'll give you an idea of what to expect from the Double Jack (I'll do a proper review once the burger is actually being sold).

The Double Jack is a roughly Whopper-sized burger in width but stands a bit taller due to the double patties but also because each patty felt just a bit bigger and beefier than the Whopper patty. I know some of you don't like the current grill seasoning they sprinkle on the burger patties while cooking, so you'll be happy to know that, as far as I can tell, they've gone back to plain old salt (and maybe pepper). I happen to like the current grill seasoning but you can't really go round with salt and pepper. Plus, it pushed the beef more to the fore.

The bun is a standard seedless burger bun but with a slightly more rustic feel to the surface.

While there were three different sauces, they were applied very modestly so that they didn't overwhelm any of the other components.

When it comes down to it, the Double Jack I tried offered a number of small improvements that make for a very good rendition of your standard fast food cheeseburger but with a lot more heft due to the extra beef. It'll be interesting to see how these turn out at the restaurant level.

The Double Jack is at the center of a larger campaign called the "Declaration of Delicious" anchored around the Super Bowl ad. The Declaration of Delicious, which features (of course, and God bless them) a colonial-attired Jack named "Jack Washington," is designed to introduce the public to much larger changes Jack in the Box is making to its menu.

So, it's a Jumbo Jack with 2 patties. I'm shocked they haven't done this ages ago.

They had to reverse engineer the original Jumbo Jack.

they already had the ultimate cheeseburger so the two patty base was covered.

Yeah this is basically an ultimate with veg on top of it.

Still jack in the box, so it's a middle of the road, cheap ball of grease sold to stoners.

The bacon ciabatta burger was the best thing Jack in the Box ever had on their menu.

Wait, I just remembered they already did the double Jumbo Jack thing before, they called it the "All American Jack".

They also had the Big Mac competitor, was it the Big Jack? I forgot what it was called but I was sorely disappointed. I love JITB too, yes, LOVE.

This sounds plain, but I guess that's the point. I'll try it out.

Oh god yes I loved that one, I don't like jacks regular burgers, I'll get the sourdough jack but that's it, I'll stick to the chicken sandwiches.

and the retiring of the current grill seasoning on their beef patties

Hope that applies to the Ultimate Cheeseburger as well. They really overdo it on the pepper (I think) these days.
