Pacific Beach night owls can stop by a Jack in the Box pop-up on Friday night from 10pm to 2am.
Why it matters: Because of course that's when you'd most want Jack in the Box munchies.
Zoom in: The pop-up is the first in a series celebrating the San Diego-based fast-food chain's 75th anniversary.
- Joining the party is the cult-favorite Hot Mess Burger.
Flashback: The burger made its debut in 2013 but was later discontinued.
- It has a beef jumbo patty topped with white cheese sauce, shredded pepper jack cheese, pickled jalapeños and crunchy onion rings.
Stop by: Get free food and a Jack Antenna Ball head at the Pacific Beach location at 4340 Mission Blvd.
What's next: The pop-up event is next headed to LA and ends in Austin on Feb. 21.
