Ryan Jackson, a sophomore and member of our class council, recently found out how to bring outside cravings to our campus free of charge. Without the use of DoorDash or any other delivery services, Ryan got creative in making her own Double-Doubles and Spicy Chicken Burgers on campus from school lunch. With the help of her friends and her great innovative thinking, she had put together a Double-Double by combining two of the school-provided cheeseburgers. Ryan first discovered this around the start of the 25-26 school year, and people are jokingly claiming she deserves a patent for it. She does the same thing to make a Spicy Chicken Burger, putting together a school chicken sandwich and a cheeseburger. Ryan’s creativity repurposed a free meal into every student’s dream. No driving, no ordering, and no money required. Some say she’s a hero, some say she’s a founding father, all say she’s a state-of-the-art chef.
“I know that there’s so many people out there who make profit out of these kinds of things, but I just do it for the love of the game,” says Ryan.
Ryan couldn’t have accomplished this without help from a good friend, and she’s always encouraging that friendship is magic and that people should continue to express their creativity through art and experiments. Not to mention, well-known food combinations all started with mixing things together. Things such as milkshakes with fries, chicken and waffles, and even peanut butter and jelly wouldn’t exist without people like Ryan. Staying curious and embracing the will to discover more is what gets Double-Doubles and Spicy Chicken Burgers at school.
“Ryan’s Spicy Chicken burgers are an art you can taste.” Says Tanya Delos Santos, a freshman at ERHS and friend of Ryan.
As many know, Ryan Jackson takes inspiration from the original In-N-Out Double-Double burger and Jack in the Box Chicken Burgers. Everyone has these as their go-to on the menu, and Ryan wants to make a free alternative for the students on our campus.
“I believe that food that good shouldn’t have a price label on it, and should be accessible to students who can’t go out as much,” says Jackson.
