Stepping into Whataburger feels like entering a realm where fast food transcends its ordinary limitations. As the aroma of sizzling beef patties fills the air and the vibrant orange and white decor envelopes you, it becomes clear that this is more than just a burger joint; it’s a Texas institution, a culinary experience, and a testament to the art of American comfort food.
This Sunday I went to Texas for a wedding. After the wedding came the partying. After all the dancing and partying everyone started to leave one by one until there was only a group of me and my cousins. We then decided to go to the nearest Whataburger.
When we arrived, it was already 4 A.M. Whataburger is open 24 hours including the drive-through and dine-in. This is strange to me because in California In-N-Out and McDonald’s are only open till a certain time for dine-in.
When we arrived, I was new, so I asked my cousin for recommendations for what to eat. I ordered a Honey Butter Biscuit and an Avocado Bacon Burger. After 7 minutes of waiting our order was ready. But what was weird was that the workers brought the food to us.
The Honey Butter Biscuit consisted of a small piece of fried chicken, drizzled with a honey butter sauce in-between two biscuits. The price was only $5. After the first bite, I was amazed the combination of the chicken and honey really went together well.
After I finished it, I then decided to dig into my burger. It cost $10 for the meal. It consisted of a ¼ beef patty, American cheese, avocado, bacon, lettuce, tomato, bacon, and their special spread in between two slices of Texas toast. What? A burger that doesn’t consist of buns, but Texas toast. I then tasted it, and it was amazing. The combination of all ingredients was one of the best things I’ve had in a while. The fries on the side were nothing to go crazy about but were all-in-all better than In-N-Out fries.
After all the food and the experience. I can officially say that Whataburger is better than In-N-Out. If you want this experience unfortunately you will have to travel to Arizona for the nearest Whataburger.
