A fast-food chain. I grew up in the Northeast and the only one I saw
until I came to Texas that I remember was in Birmingham, AL.
There was a big deal a few years ago, though, that had them in the news
-- several bad cases of E. coli were traced back to a Jack-in-the-Box.
Since then, they've made an effort to make their food safer, and I think
I heard recently that they've become the cleanest & safest chain in
these parts.
As far as the football stuff goes, try www.carnivoresfootball.com (I
think that's the URL, anyway) to get more info. They run the URL at the
end of the commercials. It's entirely possible that I'd love to visit
that site, but what with one thing and another, I haven't gotten around
to it.
