      Whataburger got its start in 1950 as a roadside burger stand in Corpus Christie, Texas and was founded by Harmon Dobson. It now has 820 locations in 10 states, with nearly 700 of those in Texas. The Dobson family had previously maintained a majority stake.

    The key to whataburger is making the burger to your liking. Most don't know you can add/substitute just about everything on your burger. Any burger can be on Texas toast, chicken patty instead of burger patty. You even used to be able to add a chicken patty on top of your burger patty.

    The thing you have to understand about Whataburger is timing. You are correct in that they don't blow anything out of the water(excluding the jalapeno cheddar biscuits those are awesome). It is all good and it fills you up. The key is that it is open 24 hours. When you grow up with it around it is comforting to know that when you can't sleep at 4 am you can run grab something to eat.

    Texans swear by Whataburger which originated in Texas way back in 1952. I had my very first Whataburger back during 2011 when I professionally drove Railroad crews via limo vans to their trains from the depots and hotels and one of these men asked me if I had ever enjoyed a Whataburger. I asked him; "A what?". He smiled and said; "You are tonight." and He buys me my first ever Whataburger meal. My favorite is the double cheeseburger with everything on it.

      I’m afraid you’re mistaken about the date; it was founded in 1950. I was four going on five. I’ll never forget the junior sized burger that you could get with mayonnaise lettuce and tomato, called the “Sissy Burger”. It was just right for a little girl who hadn’t developed a spicy palette yet. That was back when there was just one Whataburger and the trademark A-frame design was still several years in the future.

    The chili cheese burger is a burger with frito pie added. A burger is a patty made from ground (minced) meat. It can be made with slices of bread or with a bun. A sandwich is made with a solid piece of meat ad can also come on slices of bread or a bun. Chicken strips are better with honey mustard than with honey butter.

    A bun does not differentiate between a burger and a sandwich. Buns are just bread and any bread will work for either a burger or sandwich. The defining difference is a burger has a patty of ground meat or meat substitute in between the bread/bun and a sandwich will typically have slices or a fillet.

    When you were making jokes about "What A . . .", it reminded me of the Christmas when I went to a certain fast food restaurant and bought all the different plush dolls they offered from a television show. One character per week until you had all six or eight? characters collected. Running short on time to wrap them, I left each one in the bag it came in. This way my niece couldn't see what was inside, (as a good wrap should be), and she would be getting MANY presents at once instead of a box with many.
    So it's Christmas morning and the family is gathered around to give each other their presents. When it was my turn, I handed her one of the bags. She opened it, and happily cried out the name of the character, since she loved that show. She was happy with that, but I said there was another, and handed her a second bag. Again, she named it and was happy. After three or four times, I handed her another bag. "Napkins"!, she said. What, I had inadvertently given her a bag of napkins that I kept in my car to clean the windows on frosty mornings until the car warmed up. We all laughed so much, my brother, her dad, fell off his chair. I gave her the rest of them at that time, because you just couldn't top that reaction.
    I remember now, it was eight dolls. This was in 1984 when she was only three. So many memories.😂

    In America the definition of a burger is any sandwich( it doesn't matter what kind of bread) made out of hamburger meat AKA ground beef hence when you take that hamburger meat and make it into a patty it becomes a burger. Short for hamburger meat sandwich. No other kind of meat can be called a burger. They are just sandwiches which also can be made from different types of bread. Hope that helps. You guys are so great!!!😊

    Several things. That sandwich bread is called, Texas Toast. Whataburger is known for BURGERS. You can't compare Popeyes to Whataburger because Popeyes doesn't sell a burger, they're known for CHICKEN. Chick-fil-A is known for CHICKEN and there's no way, IMHO, that their burger is anywhere near Whataburger. Lastly, a few years ago Whataburger (Texas family born) was sold to an investment group in Chicago and the quality across the board has gone down understandably. You missed the window.
    You didn't get to try their breakfast menu. The big negative with Whataburger is that they don't serve breakfast 24 hrs. a day.

    @phobiaone306 2 місяці тому +3

    Something What-A-Burger has over a lot of other fast food places is the actual size of the Burgers. The vast majority of fast food places have smaller beef patties as well as smaller buns. One inconsistency that What-A-Burger (and a lot of other fast food places) is that the cooks don't always season the beef patty when they are cooking it. There is a mixture of Salt & Pepper in a shaker they are suppose to put on each patty, but I have discovered that it is hit or miss if they do put it on. Once you find a good What-A-Burger that actually does season their patties you tend to go to that one even if it is a little further away than another. I worked at What-A-Burger back in the early '90s as an overnight cook, and me and my co-worker (only 2 of us overnight back then) were constantly getting praises for the service as well as the quality of the food. It happened so much that our store manager had me change to morning shift for a week to train the other cooks. It turned out that NONE of the day cooks were seasoning the patties as they were suppose to, and that was the big difference. Once they started seasoning the patties on every shift we shot up to one of the most praised stores in the Houston Area. It just goes to show you how much a little Salt & Pepper can improve the taste of food. Also, I was the very first person in the Houston Area to be taught how to make the Biscuits when they first introduced them.

Us little kids were in pajamas and dad would walk up to the stand and order our food and bring it to the car to eat. It was plain and simple then but so good and affordable. Just burgers, and fries. Oh, and you could choose shakes OR malts. No one ever offers malts anymore. Boy have they grown up. I think they sold out to some outsiders now. A lot of people don't know that you can get the buns in wheat also. And if you ask they will grill the buns for your order. Many of their sauces and breakfast sausage is sold in stores here.

I've given them chance over chance since the transition, but it's now missing that extra Texas factor that made it so famous.

    Ther term burger was coined in the US as short for Hamburger sandwich, hence the Burger. Hamburger is a nickname coined for ground beef. Ground beef got its nickname from immigrants who had brought the idea of ground beef over from Hamburg Germany. The Hamburger terminology is slowly being substituted for ground beef in the modern market, but still holds true in products like hamburger helper. As an American, when someone refers to something being minced, I would immediately imagine something along the lines of something finely chopped by a knife such as minced onion, or minced garlic. In the instance of what is referred to mince overseas, I would call ground since it is ground by a meat grinder. In short, they are all sandwiches. A burger is a patty made of hamburger sandwiched between 2 pieces of bread, or a bun, but sandwiched none the less. Great reaction video, thank you for sharing.

    • @JustMe-dc6ks
      @JustMe-dc6ks 2 місяці тому +1

      Yes. The “hamburger steak” was invented in Hamburg. After immigrating to America (NY state I believe) some German Americans put a ground beef patty between two slices of bread creating the hamburger sandwich, shortened to hamburger and then burger for brevity. Eventually the hamburger bun was invented and named for its intended use as the bread in a hamburger. The bun is named after the sandwich, not the other way around. Not that there’s anything wrong with people in other countries using the naming conventions of their own culture for sandwiches, but historically the bun came after the burger. And yes we do sometimes use “hamburger” or “hamburger meat” to refer to ground beef or the ground beef topping for pizza.

    So nice to see you all enjoying our USA burgers. Fun fact: Though there is still debate around this, it's said around these parts that a pair of brothers from Akron, Ohio, invented the hamburger (and the ice cream cone). Today, we enjoy local favorites like Swenson's (LeBron's fav), Skyway, and Bob's. And our neighboring city of Barberton is widely known for its fried chicken. So if you're ever in Northeast Ohio, come check us out!

    The taste of Whataburger changed after they sold it. It used to be owned by Texans, but they sold it to a company in Chicago. Almost every Texan I know complains the taste has changed for the worst. We still eat it, but I prefer Culvers now.

    I had the misfortune of living in Texas for 2.5 years but Whataburger was so good! The bacon cheeseburgers, onion rings with ranch, chicken tenders, and the honey butter chicken biscuits were so delish.

    All the way through the 9:00 mark of the video I kept thinking about how much food you guys ordered. Then Nadine asked about the last food item, and you dropped the Dumb and Dumber "eat up and I'll tell ya" line and I couldn't stop laughing.......!!!

    I'm a Texan and I love Whataburger, but I do get the chicken strips (with Texas toast!) more often than I get the burgers. Also, you need to try their brownies!
