Whataburgers.
Nobody else in the World can make a burger any better than Whataburger.
I’ll bump that right there.
Had one Friday night .
In the late ‘70s, I found myself in Harlingen TX. having to drive to Corpus Christi to catch a flight. On the outskirts of town I saw a huge billboard saying “Welcome to Corpus Christi, Home of the Whatabuger!”
Darn...now I wish I had stopped and gotten one before my flight.
Was he as disappointed as I was when I had my first one?
I was born and raised in Texas and, yes, the Whataburger is that delicious!!!
Whataburger is a superior burger. McDonalds, Burger King, all these pretenders are not worthy to tie Whataburger’s shoes, if burger joints had shoes.
I really don’t understand why Whataburger hasn’t taken over the entire country at this point.
OK, I like WhataBurgers, (and LottaBurgers which are a similar NM icon), but the best burgers in the world?
Hardly.
Above average for a fast food franchise, but not really that great compared to what a cook who really takes pride in his / her work can put out.
The best burger I ever had, was a buffalo (bison) burger at a little place at one end of the Rio Grande Gorge bridge in Colorado. 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.
I still dream of those burgers occasionally.
I’m a big fan of their Jalapeno Cheddar breakfast biscuits. When in Houston on business, that’s my go-to breakfast. The last week I was there, the place was closed up with guys working on the people. I hope they were doing repairs and not closing the place down.
Did he have a translator for when he gets excited and talks New York fast?
...one of the best burgers I ever had was in a little mom and pop luncheonette called Pat’s ....fresh beef,not frozen ( no pattie) fried onions and lightly toasted bun...of course that’s fifty years ago *smiles*...and it cost 50¢....and included a small fountain coke
Love it!
Five Guys is tops for me among chains, and I’ve just about everything except a Big Kahuna burger.
