Jack In The Box Is Coming To Florida

There are so many fast food restaurants out there, but if you've been craving Jack In The Box there's good news because they're coming to Florida.

When you think of how many fast food restaurants are here in Fort Myers, it's impossible to count. There's pretty much anything you can think of. And if it's not in Fort Myers, it could be a short drive to North Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Estero or Naples. The one I could really go for having a location here is In-N-Out Burger. I've only ever had it one time, but there was something about that meal that just puts it above the rest when it comes to fast food. I don't hit the drive-thru very often, but every now and then I have a hankering for a good burger. If Jack in the Box is what you crave, there's some good news.

I've never lived in a place where there's been a Jack in the Box, so I've never had it. The restaurant chain is based out of California and before the news of the expansion to the Sunshine State the closest location to us would be in South Carolina. There actually were Jack in the Box's here in Florida at one time, but it's been over 30 years since we've had one. But they're coming back! Right now, in Southwest Florida, there don't seem to be any locations planned, but that could change. According to a press release, Ed Zausch, a new franchisee will be opening 10 locations in the Orlando area.

Jack in the Box has a menu filled with burgers, tacos, chicken, shakes and breakfast. Because I've never had it, I asked a friend of mine who is a Jack in the Box fanatic what his must-get item is: the Ultimate Cheeseburger. So that may be where I start when the restaurant makes its way to Florida.

All eyes have not only been on Buckingham Palace over the last week, but also on  burgers.  National Cheeseburger Day was Sunday. However cheeseburgers are a big deal all year round, especially with football season and tailgating underway. What do you think are the favorite burger chains across the country?

The the Burger Index is a study on consumption preferences and trends in America by Top Data. According to the organization, there has been a significant increase in demand for burgers in the country. The data shows a 10.6% increase in consumption compared to last year.

While there's nothing quite a like a backyard burger cooked just the way you like it, fast food burgers are still booming. Sometimes you need a quick fix. So where do you go?

When it comes to Florida, the rankings are a little different from the rest of the country. However, Florida always seems to be "a little different" from the rest of the country. Wendy's takes the top spot for burgers in the Sunshine State. Next on the list, in order from top to bottom are Whataburger, Smashburger, Krystal and Steak n' Shake.

There has been a lot of talk about burgers this week. Everything from the best cheese to use, to where that cheese should be placed. As in top or bottom of the meat patty.

McDonald's tops the choices in six states but comes in overall at #3.
