The Ultimate Cheeseburger is a signature cheeseburger sold at Jack in the Box.
It consists of two beef patties with American and Swiss-style cheeses, ketchup, mustard, and Mayo-Onion sauce on a sesame seed bun.[1]
In 2002, ketchup, mustard, and Mayo-Onion sauce replaced mayonnaise, and the number of styles of cheese went from three to two, much to the chagrin of Ultimate Cheeseburger purists.[2][3]
In 2008, the burger was added to the Phoood Hall of Fame.[4]
