Beefy Burger French Fries

Jack in the Box is Reinventing the Hamburger with Its New Burger Dippers

— February 18, 2019 — Lifestyle
If you prefer your burgers bun-less, you might want to sample Jack in the Box's new Burger Dippers. With all the juicy flavor of a hamburger patty and the conveniently dippable shape of a French fry, this new menu item is the ultimate fast food hybrid.

Dubbed "The burger you eat like a fry," Jack in the Box's new Burger Dippers consist of seasoned, burger-like patties molded into dippable French fry shapes. The patties are then battered in a hamburger bun-like breading—complete with sesame seeds—and deep-fried until crispy and golden brown. Of course, the Burger Dippers are meant to be dunked, so adding a side of ketchup is a must.

Currently being tested at select Jack in the Box locations in Northern California, the Burger Dippers can be enjoyed on their own or as part of Jack's Munchie Meal.
