    True. It's called Best Foods out here. Same thing, different name. Although I have found Hellman's at Target once or twice.

          It's kinda like Hardee's and Carl's Jr. Same thing, different name.

              There is none near me and I never heard of any around these parts.

              I only know them from the Rodney Allen Rippy 70's commercials --- and when people got sick from eating their food --- I think that was in the late 70's

                USA is a huge country...like a friggin continent...lol.

                All whole lot of products are divided in name like that for various marketing reasons (see an example on my ice cream link).

                We have Dryer's Grand Ice Cream...you have Edy's Grand Ice Cream...but it's the same thing...lol.

                It's headquarters are here in my town, Oakland...



                They used to offer public tours with free taste samples..but they stopped doing that...

                  Jack N' the Box tends to be a step above McDonald's and Burger King in terms of quality IMO.

                  But they did have that Purina dog food connection scandal a few years back...lol.

                      I know of one Jack N' the Box located in an obscure spot in Maryland...actually on the Eastern shore but have never stopped to try their food.

                      We have a lot of Roy Rogers franchises around here which I thought was a national fast food chain instead of a regional chain. A childhood friend of mine (who currently lives in North Carolina) came up recently for our High School reunion. We met up for dinner and he insisted on going to Roy Rogers for their Fried Chicken. Another good friend of mine (lives in Georgia) but grew up in Maryland loves UTZ crab flavored potato chips. I don't even think UTZ chips are available across the country but place most potato chip companies to shame. The crab chip is kind of like the "McRib". It is sold all year round but can only be found around the Maryland area and is super popular.

                        I think there's a Jack N' The Box up in Franklin,TN. Been awhile since I've been up that way. Could be mistaken.

                          they all went out of business around here years and years ago....probably was the late 70's or early eighties....think it had something to do with horse meat in those tasty burgers you mention Hec....beware what you eat..no joke

                              According to their site JITB are only located in IL, TN, SC and NC out east. Everything else is west and mid-west. And we get JITB commercials all the time.
