Jack in the Box's latest artisan grilled sandwich is the limited time
Pastrami Grilled Sandwich for $3.99. The Pastrami Grilled Sandwich keeps it fairly simple with pastrami, melted Swiss-style cheese, pickle strips, and a deli style mustard.
First off, the bread was grilled to a nice crust, but wasn't quite crunchy like if you grilled bread at home. It was also a bit chewy, but holds the pastrami and other fillings very well.
The pastrami was surprisingly legitimate pastrami. It was not super-thin-sliced (like Arby's) supermarket-deli-aisle pastrami like I expected, but actually had a crust, a meaty texture, and came in good proportions. Flavor wise, it didn't taste too salty and had a nice slightly peppery-ness. Due to uneven distribution, I did run out of pastrami on one half though.
The pickles, cheese, and mustard were of premium quality and complemented the pastrami very well without overpowering it. The cheese is very mild but very nicely melted, it almost looks like mayo, no?
All in all, a surprisingly good pastrami sandwich and one that's actually worthy of being called a premium fast food sandwich. Hopefully, it'll end up making the regular menu.
