Jack in the Box's Hot Mess Burger was introduced in 2013 and much to the excitement of fans, the cult-favorite burger is coming back in celebration of Jack in the Box's 75th anniversary.

The burger itself features a 100% beef jumbo patty topped with white cheese sauce, shredded pepper jack cheese, pickled jalapenos, and crunchy onion rings on toasted sourdough bread. Fans will remember how the Hot Mess Burger debuted over a decade ago, with Jack on tour with 80s rockband, Meat Riot, where he met his wife, Cricket.

The Hot Mess Burger is returning to participating locations nationwide for a limited time, alongside a remake of the original ad, a limited-edition collectible, and an official anniversary tour.
