WATCH: Harvey 1st Responder from New York Gets His First Whataburger

HOUSTON, Texas — A New York firefighter currently working as a first responder in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey got his first taste of a Texas icon — Whataburger. His reaction tells the whole story. The fast-food restaurant chain that operates nearly 700 stores in Texas set up a food service operation for Hurricane Harvey relief workers. An unidentified New York firefighter stepped up to get his first taste of the often bragged about Texas burger. The skeptical fireman said, “Texas guys wanna tell me ‘This is a burger,’ this is the official Texas burger,” he said as he prepared to take his first bite. “I don’t think so, but we’re gonna see right now.” Another New Yorker can be heard off camera saying, “Forget about it.”

I tried an IN-N-OUT burger last year for the first time. I live in Garland, TX (DFW). My IN-N-OUT burger was just an average plain burger. I don’t get the hype.

Our favorite fast food burgers are Burger Street (local Dallas chain) and Braum’s.

I just took my 2 young Sons to Freddy’s about four hours ago.
We stopped there after checking out the very first Duluth Trading Company store in Colorado -which is awesome, too. They just opened last week.

Yeah. We’re all a little bit fatter now. And, I got me some new work socks.

You should try the hbcb honey butter chicken biscuit with a side of buffalo sauce.
I don't want French fried potatoes, Red ripe tomatoes, I'm never satisfied. I want the frim fram sauce with the Ausen fay With chafafa on the side.

Very serious. But then, I’m a guy who until very recently, really enjoyed a ‘road trip’ to no particular place for no particular purpose.

I'm sort of with you on that. But if I'm going to take a long get-away-from-it-all-for-awhile drive, I like to know exactly where I'm going. Usually it's an area I'm pretty much familiar with.

For example, living all but one of my nearly 60 years in stinking ugly grouchy bad air New York City, I love to take a drive Upstate to take in the clean fresh air and beautiful scenery up there: mountains/hills, forests, lakes, streams, waterfalls, and, being a onetime geology major, the incredible rock outcrops there and along the way, some of which are fossil bearing.

I tried a What-a-burger on a trip to Houston then to Corpus, I do not recall what town we were in (Refugio maybe?) but I kind of felt the same way about What-a-burger as you do about In-n-out. Guess it depends on what your used to.

BTW, Nations is better than In-n-Out, but they are only in Northern California.

Two cities I’ve lived in have great fresh hamburger places but now I just enjoy the frozen and precooked Ball Park hamburgers, as they’re easy and good—6 for $7 @ WallyWorld. A burger in 45 seconds! Yum!

Been 45 years since I’ve been there. Haven’t had a better burger sense. Where else to go at 3 A.M. on a warm LA night.

Smash burger is really good.

But the best cheeseburger I ever had was cooked by a bunch of firefighters who were doing a fundraiser at a "wide spot in the road" town. It was Sunday and so all the restaurants were closed and I was hungry.

It was a just a cheeseburger, ground beef/buffalo, some sort of spice mix, a toasted buttered bun and a hefty slice of cheddar cheese.

No fancy toppings, just a cheeseburger.

And it made your taste buds do cartwheels up and down the street.

I grew up in Vallejo, CA. Moved to DFW in 1991. Nations has a great burger. Have not eaten at Nations since I moved to Texas but I remember their burgers were good. Togo’s subs are way better than Subway too.

I get those biscuits with egg and bacon. I live two blocks from a Whataburger. That can be good or bad.:-)

Small world. I lived in Benicia for 22 years, before moving here to AZ. My wife and I would always share a Nations burger, in-n-Out we each get our own.
