I lived in So. Cal. for 13.5 years. I didn't care much for
JITB until they came up with a breakfast sandwich that I liked.
I can't remember now what it was exactly but I used to buy it
a lot.

I didn't know there were any JITB's east of Ole Miss.

What used to be better than JITB was Carl's Jr., until, that is,
they ruined their menu. They started served all kinds of "healthy"
crap like chicken sandwiches, etc., and eventually ceased to offed
their hotdogs, which were to die for. I loved their chili cheese
dogs which were the best ones I ever had (that I didn't make myself).
