When they move a franchise to chicago, the new expression will be...
“...let’s go to Whataburger and get our buns toasted...”
“...sure, but don’t forget your body armor...”
This is not surprising but it can only be hoped that the “Chic-Fil-A” effect will instill a level of quality control that actually allows us who don’t live in Texas (anymore) to get two hands on a whatburger.

I love Whataburger. It’s sign is my landmark for my right turn off a high speed heavy traffic road that is otherwise hard to discern. As for the food? I don’t know. Never ate there.

Ed Nelson, Whataburgers chief financial officer and controller, will become the companys president.CFO and controller... yep, it's all about the food, pardner.
I'm not even a Texan and this news pisses me off to no end.

Byron Trott, the “BDT” of the company name, is a very shrewd financier who intentionally flies below the radar and courts billionaire deals. He helped M&M Mars buy Wrigley and then bought the iconic Wrigley building. Last year BDT handled the acquisition of 7UP-Snapple by Keurig, along with Peet’s Coffee & Tea, Caribou Coffee Co., Stumptown Coffee, and Keurig Green Mountain and Panera Bread, which most consumers don’t even know about.
So this is high-profile deal for the premier investment bank in the food/beverage industry and they certainly are not investing in order to wreck some Texans favorite burger joint.

Fast-food chain Whataburger beloved by generations of folks living in the Southeast is now the property of a Chicago investment firm.
Huh?! Whataburger is a southWEST chain. It extends to Alabama, barely exists in Georgia (1) and is not found at all in North Carolina, South Carolina or Tennessee. It rules Texas (600+), but is all over Arizona (which unfortunately is dominated by Jack-in-the-Box). Florida is southeast, but Florida has always been its own thing. Most of the units in the southeast are newer. GENERATIONS have loved in Texas and Arizona. (50+ years)
Whataburger is a substantial, good go-to burger, and is southWEST the way Culver's is upper MidWest and In-n-Out is California.

This could be good, if it only about expansion. They wouldn't spend all that money just to destroy the brand.
I hope.

And, in order to keep satisfying our customers, weve been exploring different options to expand the brand and introduce it to new audiences
They have a very solid product, but are playing in a VERY crowded sandbox. Jack-in-Box, Culvers, Five Guys are all expanding.

The memes on this have been glorious.
“When we said come & take it, we meant the cannon, not this.”
“The devil went down to Texas. He was lookin for a soul to steal.”
“Dear Chicago: If you hurt her, I will kill you.”

Now to be run by a bean counter.
A Texas Tradition will not become just another tasteless fast food place.
A burger wrapped in paper with real grease on it and a real malt will become a thing of the past.
