It’s hard to get excited about the Jack in the Box All-American Jack Burger because when you list the ingredients, it sounds like it already exists on the Jack in the Box menu board. The “new” burger consists of two beef patties, two slices of American cheese, a slice of “Swiss-style” cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, mustard, ketchup and mayo. Personally, it sounds like a Double Jumbo Jack with cheese or an Ultimate Cheeseburger with veggies on top or a Double Big Cheeseburger with veggies on top or a…

Man, I eat way too much Jack in the Box.

Another issue I have with the All-American Jack Burger is that doesn’t appear to be completely All-American. It’s got the red ketchup and tomatoes, and the white mayo. But where’s the blue?

To make up for the lack of blue, I hope each burger is wrapped in a copy of the Declaration of Independence.

The All-American Jack will be available for a limited time starting February 3. The All-American Jack Combo, which included a drink and fries, will sell for $4.99.

I’m sorry, what was this news post about again? Was it McDonald’s Snack Wraps? Or Wendy’s Chicken Go Wrap? Was it KFC’s Toasted Wrap, or maybe El Pollo Loco’s Grilled Chicken Tortilla Roll? No, can’t be those, they both appear to be defunct now.

Oh, wait, I remember now. Carl’s Jr. is launching their new Hand-Breaded Chicken Tender Wrappers. Hardee’s, the east coast/midwest/southern equivalent of Carl’s Jr., launched these late last year, but now the west coast gets to have a taste. As I illustrated in the paragraph above, chicken wraps are certainly nothing new, but if you’re a big fan of their Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders, then you might enjoy having them in a form that won’t grease up your fingers.

From Carl’s Jr.’s website: “Perfect as a quick snack or part of a meal, Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenderâ„¢ Wrappers feature a delicious Hand-Breaded Chicken Tender rolled in a flour tortilla with shredded lettuce and cheese, then topped with your choice of Buttermilk Ranch, Honey Mustard, or Sweet & Bold BBQ sauce.”

That wraps it up nicely, har har. With your choice of three dipping sauces included in the wrap, you can enjoy your Chicken Tenders sauced up and on-the-go. No more worrying about grease on your steering wheel or balancing the dip cup in your lap! Nobody wants a ranch crotch.

You can get a single Wrapper for $1.29 or as a combo with two Wrappers, fries, and a drink for $4.99. Prices vary by location.

The Ranch Wrapper has 360 calories, 210 calories from fat, 23 grams of total fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 45 milligrams of cholesterol, 850 milligrams of sodium, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fiber, 1 gram of sugars, and 16 grams of protein.

The Honey Mustard Wrapper has 320 calories, 170 calories from fat, 18 grams of total fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 760 milligrams of sodium, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fiber, 2 grams of sugars, and 16 grams of protein.

The BBQ Wrapper has 290 calories, 120 calories from fat, 13 grams of total fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 910 milligrams of sodium, 26 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fiber, 4 grams of sugars, and 16 grams of protein.

Taco Bell has been in the news recently due to a lawsuit that claims Taco Bell’s seasoned ground beef can’t be called “beef” because it doesn’t meet the minimum USDA requirements to be labeled “beef.” With all of this “Where’s the beef?” talk, I find it funny (and coincidental) that Taco Bell just introduced their Quad Steak Burrito and Quad Steak Quesadilla.

The burrito is made up of four portions of Taco Bell’s new thick and tender steak, seasoned rice, fire-roasted salsa, reduced-fat sour cream and cheddar cheese in a flour tortilla. But if you have issues with stuffing your mouth with foods that are phallic, Taco Bell has your back with their Quad Steak Quesadilla, which also has four portions of Taco Bell’s new steak, along with a triple by-pass of cheeses — cheddar, pepper jack and mozzarella — and a creamy jalapeno sauce in a toasted tortilla.

The burrito contains 690 calories, 26 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 2,210 milligrams of sodium, 72 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber and 41 grams of protein. The quesadilla has 750 calories, 36 grams of fat, 15 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 2,210 milligrams of sodium, 60 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber and 46 grams of protein.

For those of you trying to keep your girlish figure, Taco Bell is also offering a Double Steak Burrito and Quesadilla. Actually, since the Double Steak Burrito has 610 calories, 10 grams of saturated fat, and 1,720 milligrams of sodium, while the quesadilla has 660 calories 13 grams of saturated fat, and 1,720 milligrams of sodium, I really meant to say “for those of you trying to ruin your girlish figure.”

It looks like I’m not the only one who’s jumping on a bandwagon (Go Jets!). Cold Stone, which is known for their creamery, has plans to offer a self-serve frozen yogurt bar at many of their stores. The frozen yogurt craze has been around for a couple of years and it seems like it’s not slowing down. Cold Stone is the second major company in the past few months to introduce frozen yogurt along side their current offerings. Jamba Juice has been testing frozen yogurt for several months at some locations.

Cold Stone’s yogurt flavors will include Cold Stone regulars like vanilla, chocolate, and cake batter, but new tart and tangy flavors will be added. The proprietary yogurt recipe will be low-calorie, non-fat and contain probiotics. Like many frozen yogurt stores, Cold Stone will also offer a selection of self-serve toppings.

With Cold Stone’s frozen yogurt being self-serve, does that mean I would have to leave a tip for myself in order to get me to sing a song? Cold Stone will be installing their yogurt bar into their stores throughout 2011, so I guess I’ll find out sometime this year.

I think McDonald’s Angus Third Pounder burgers are the best McDonald’s has ever put out, and I’ve made sweet mouthlove with several of them since they were introduced in 2009. But I have to admit that I’m tired of the three Angus Third Pounder varieties. So I’m glad to hear a fourth is being released — the Chipotle Angus Third Pounder.

The newest member of the Angus Third Pounder line will not only come in sandwich form, but also in the not as good Snack Wrap form. They will consist of 100 percent Angus beef with a smoky, sweet chipotle barbeque sauce, red onions, pickles, bacon and American cheese in between either a toasted sesame bun or flour tortilla.

Nutritional info isn’t officially available, but using the nutritional info from other McDonald’s products and some McMath, I estimate the Chipotle Angus Third Pounder will contain 775 calories, 38 grams of fat, 17 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 145 milligrams of cholesterol, 1940 milligrams of sodium, 61 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 13 grams of sugar, and 44 grams of protein.

The Chipotle Angus Third Pounder and its Snack Wrap cousin be available starting February 1, but only for a limited time. Although, if popular enough they may become permanent menu items or come back every other year like the McRib.
