Jumbacos Prevail: Richmond District Jack In The Box Approved For Late-Night Food

When last we checked in at the with the problematic Jack in the Box in the Richmond, the twofer taco joint had lost it's 24-hour privileges after a drunken altercation at the restaurant ended in an intentional hit-run incident nearby. The neighbors protested, as they do, but the franchisee went right ahead and asked the Entertainment Commission to reinstate their permit to sling cheeseburgers after 2 a.m. Finally, after putting it to a vote at last night's meeting, the Entertainment Commission did just that.
The commission actually went against the neighbors on this one — the petition that was going around got some 1,500 signatures and even two bar owners in the area supported nixing after hours eats in the neighborhood. But as commissioner Audrey Joseph smartly put it: "It’s very important that we have food [available late at night]; it helps people not be as drunk."
There are a few conditions to the new permit, of course. As Richmond SF reports, the restaurant will have to close between the hours of 4 and 6 a.m., because, really, nothing good happens after 4 a.m.
