I grew up with Jack in San Diego. There's only three of them in Oklahoma, but I stop in for a Monster Taco every time I'm down in Dallas.

After the incident, Jack in the Box mandated that in all nationwide locations, their hamburgers be cooked to at least 155 °F (68 °C). Additionally, all meat products produced in the United States are required to comply with HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) regulations. Every company that produces meat products is required to have a HACCP plan that is followed continuously. They are currently experiencing a decent revival of strength and are working plans for nationwide expansion. Currently the strategy is mainly targeted at Colorado and Texas.

Keep in mind that Hardee's and Carl's Jr. are the same same company, so technically together they sale 3,339.

They are currently experiencing a decent revival of strength and are working plans for nationwide expansion. Currently the strategy is mainly targeted at Colorado and Texas.

When they left Colorado in 1992, they had not invested in the restaurants in at least ten years. They were dirty. Pieces of the buildings were falling off. The restaurants were obsolete with inconvenient and insufficient seating. The menu was limited compared to California's.

Many of the locations were taken over by Good Time burgers, which has a pretty good reputation. Carl's Jr has also gotten a foothold in the area after they left.

If they try to come back to Colorado, they are going to face an uphill battle. Not sure people have forgotten.

hmm here in ohio all meats must be cooked/warmed to 165 and kept at 145... I do feel bad for shops sometimes as we dont produce our meats, when people find chicken bones in a sub they get TICKED at us and I have to explain our chicken is cut up off site frozen and brought in, and people just dont understand that.
