Whataburger is Second to Noneaburger

The Headphone Brothers are switching things up a bit. We seemed to have hit a snag in posting due partly due to poor assignments for what days we were each posting. Since I will now be posting on Mondays, and Monday is coming up quickly, I'm not going to write a particularly long post today. This happens to work out perfectly because it won't take me very long to explain to you why Whataburger is the best fast food burger joint in the country.

Whataburger was founded in 1950 in Corpus Christie, Texas. My grandfather-in-law remembers going to the original Whataburger when he was growing up and in fact a picture of his little league team hangs in every Whataburger franchise in the country. The first time I ever spoke to Cate's Grandad (great gradfather) he asked me three questions; 1) Do I like to golf, 2) Have a tried a Texas watermelon, and 3) Have a been to Whataburger yet? I needed to start with all that to put all of my family bias right out in the open.

There are really 4 primary reasons why Whataburger is King among babies (which is a phrase people use). In reverse order of importance they are as follows:

4) The burgers are just better.

I know that's a weird reason to have as my least important reason, but it still made the list! The burgers are larger than your traditional fast food burger and they don't come with mayonnaise (gross). Really, having a mustard base over a mayo base is the southern vibes coming out of the burger. It's hard to pinpoint why they taste better because they don't have an overrated sauce like In'n'n'n'nOut. They're just straight up good.

3) Strawberry Pop

95% of the Whataburgers I have been to have strawberry pop as in option for their fountain drinks. Strawberry Crush/Fanta is insanely good and really maybe it acts as the special sauce to the burgers you order.

2) Honey Barbecue Chicken Strip Sandwich

Do I really need to get into detail with a name like that? I'll let the official Whataburger description tell you what's going on. "Three 100% chicken breast strips, our Honey BBQ Sauce, two slices of Monterey Jack cheese—all on your choice of Texas toast or a toasted five-inch bun."

Get it with the Texas toast and don't eat for the next 2 days.

1) SPICY KETCHUP!

For real though, why is Spicy Ketchup not a thing in every restaurant across the globe? The spice comes from jalapenos and it makes everything even better than it already is. The fries are very good on their own, but I won't say they have the BEST fries. Dip them in spicy ketchup and they aren't just the best fries they are the best food. Period. I can't over hype the Spicy Ketchup.
