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.”

So am I!!!!
Tried that once. That's enough. Smash burger.
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 miss Griffs
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.
;-)
I had to look them up. Never tried them.
On my list for the next southern road trip.
Thank you for the future weight gain opportunity.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Their jalapeno cheese biscuit is good.
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 live in Garland, TX “”
.
You ever been here?
I go in the afternoon when they have plenty of bacon grease to put in the deep fryer for the french fries.
Real root beer on tap.
mmmmmmmm...
.
I get those biscuits with egg and bacon. I live two blocks from a Whataburger. That can be good or bad.:-)
The last one I knew of was in old town Arvada. Good burgers and onion rings.
Pass Dels a lot but have never been there. Dels is a Richardson institution. Got to get there some day.
Can you ever get another?
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.
