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.”

only a pile of bulldozed rubble.

I know the feeling. There was a place in Phoenix called Lobby's that is gone now.

The place I loved in Phoenix in the 80s was “GuadalaHarry’s”.

And in the 90’s my favorite Phoenix food was Y.C.’S Mongolian Barbecue.... The one up by Metrocenter. That’s another food I dream of.

Looks yummy.
Has it been there long? I vaguely remember eating something quite good at Cedar Crest years ago.

If you are ever in Durango, Co. try the Tatanka burger at Carver’s brewery. Get a pint of their Raspberry Wheat Ale and you are in heaven.

I used to go through Durango a lot... But decided to never go back to Colorado when they legalized dope.

Had a Tommy’s in 1982. Great burger. Wife and I took a driving vacation out to California in 199 and I wanted another, but couldn’t remember where it was.

I was very disappointed.

All’s I know is I had one once on a drive from Orlando to Mobile, green Chile.

Outstanding, surprised the Feds haven’t forced them to open more outlets in “disadvantaged” areas.

“I’ve eaten many Whataburgers, too. But they don’t come close to Five Guys.”

At $15 for a burger/fries/drink Five Guys are obscene.

“I once drove 300 miles out of my way just to have another, but sadly found that the place was only a pile of bulldozed rubble.”

Oh no. Can’t imagine the disappointment.

The evening of 9/11, I ate at the original Whataburger in Corpus.....half the place is modernized and the other half looks like it did when it first opened. I love their breakfast tequitos......

I may have had one then. Up until 20 years ago I was in that area a lot.
