At the restaurant, it is then deep-fried, then prepared with lettuce, cheese, and mild taco sauce before serving. Besides tacos, other [[Americanization|Americanized]] foods from ethnic cuisines that Jack in the Box offers include [[egg roll]]s, breakfast [[burrito]]s, and [[jalapeño popper]]s. New items come in on a rotation every three to four months, including the [[Philly cheesesteak]] and the [[Delicatessen|deli]] style pannidos (deli trio, ham and turkey, zesty turkey), which were replaced by Jack's [[ciabatta]] burger and included the original ciabatta burger and the bacon 'n' cheese ciabatta. Jack in the Box also carries seasonal items such as pumpkin pie shakes, [[Oreo]] mint shakes, and eggnog shakes during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. In some locations, local delicacies are a regular part of the menu. Locations in Hawaii, for example, include the [[Paniolo]] breakfast ([[Portuguese sausage]], [[egg (food)|egg]]s, and rice platter) and [[teriyaki]] chicken and rice bowl. In the [[Southern United States]], the company offers [[Biscuit (bread)|biscuit]]s and [[sweet tea]]. In Imperial County, California, some locations sell [[date (fruit)|date]] shakes, reflecting the crop's ubiquity in the region's farms. In the spring of 2007, Jack in the Box also introduced its [[sirloin]] [[hamburger|burger]]<ref name=qm-2007may03>{{cite news |url=https://www.qsrmagazine.com/news/jack-box-debuts-sirloin-burger |title=Jack in the Box Debuts Sirloin Burger |website=QSR Magazine |date=May 3, 2007 |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.-->}}</ref> and followed this up recently with the sirloin [[beefsteak|steak]] melt.<ref name=nrn-2007dec17>{{cite news |url=http://nrn.com/archive/jack-box-adds-steak-sandwich |title=Jack in the Box adds steak sandwich |magazine=[[Nation's Restaurant News]] |date=December 17, 2007 |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |url-access=subscription }}</ref> Its more recent foray into the deli market was the less-popular Ultimate [[Club sandwich|Club Sandwich]], which was initially removed in Arizona due to poor sales and has since been phased out at all locations.
