Rubble rubble Hamburglar
Apr. 27th, 2017 08:39 pmMy trip to Dallas gave me a chance to try a few of the contenders for the Burger Wars.
Every region is fiercely proud and Texas is fiercely proud of Whataburger.
In the Burger Wars, the generally recognized champion is Five Guys Burgers and Fries.
I loved 5 Guys from the first taste, and they have expanded quickly, so they are no longer as rare finds as they used to be. It's hard to say that there is a better fast food hamburger anywhere and the fries are great too. My only problem is with 5 Guys success, their prices have caught up to the demand. I don't really want to pay 15 bucks for a hamburger and fries, and not even get a tray to carry it on.
In-N-Out is extremely popular in the Western part of the country and hasn't quite expanded to match 5 Guys in the Midwest. That said, I did go to In-N-Out while in Dallas, and thought the hamburger was magnificent, though the Fries were only bearable when doused with salt and ketchup.
Conventional wisdom is that these two places have the country's best burgers, but Texans seem to argue WhataBurger is the best.
So I had to go, and I did, alot. Though mostly out of convenience. Texans seemed to have an opinion, though mostly to say that they didn't get it.
I didn't really get it either. As someone else told me, it tastes a lot like a Sonic Burger, which is no offense to Sonic, still pretty dang good.
I did eat there a lot while in Texas since it was close, and though I will rank the burger third, I understand regional pride.
In which case, I am only writing this post because this was in the news while I was down there:
Stolen Whataburger Numbers Seized by Cops

Stolen Whataburger Numbers Seized by Cops
Texans love their Whataburger — and, apparently, the tiny plastic tents that display order numbers at the iconic fast food restaurant.
Police in Cross Roads, a small town in northeast Denton County, recently recovered a “large quantity” of the order numbers that had been stolen from the local Whataburger off U.S. 380.
“We have learned that it has become a game for area teens to be removing the plastic ‘order numbers’ from the restaurant when in attendance,” the Northeast Police Department announced Saturday on Facebook, warning teens they could be cited for theft of property.
The “game” has so gotten popular, the Facebook post said, that the Police Department, at times, has more of the order numbers than Whataburger.
So there you go
