I've never even seen a Whataburger

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

They are over rated. And I'm a Texan.

I used to be a Wendy's guy 100% but after moving and being far from any fast food, they're all kinda gross now unfortunately. I kinda miss liking Wendy's lol

Now it's my blackened burger with Bleu cheese and caramelized onions all the way! Goddamn it now I need to make one tomorrow...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You got a recipe you're willing to share? Would love to try making one of those.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Unfortunately I just kinda wing it with everything I make so I couldn't tell you measurements, but it's basically garlic and onion powder, thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and paprika. Other than that it's just a matter of coating the burger with butter and the seasoning and cooking it on high heat then top it with the Bleu cheese and caramelized onions!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

No worries! That sounds awesome, I'll have to take a shot at it this coming week.

Whataburger. Whataburger. Just what a burger should be. The unbeatable, unbelievable, bigger, better burger. Whataburger.

I’m sad that our timeline only has one component of the Infinite Burger Mystery. Happy that we don’t live in the Whosaburger universe though

Whataburger vs Wendy's is a poor comparison. I see their true rivals are Five Guys, Shake Shack, and In and Out.

And if you're wondering about my pick, it's Five Guys.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Five Guys is way overpriced imo. Sure they fuck you up with fries, but it's not worth the almost $30 for a single person to eat there.

In-N-Out, on the other hand, is like $12-13 for a combo for one person and it's goddamn delicious every time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

And five guys fries are almost always overdone. To the point of tasting bitter.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I mean I tried In-N-Out, but it was just... Fine? Maybe it was over-hyped before I tried it, but I wasn't blown away. It didn't do anything wrong, but it didn't do anything for me.

My comments were steered more towards the burgers, but I will say none of the places I mentioned impressed me with the fries (esp Whataburger).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You should try the fries Animal Style and In-n-Out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Get everything animal style at In-N-Out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

In n outs fries actually taste like packing material. Probably my least favorite fast food fries. The burger was fine, you know for fast food.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I feel like in n out fries by default are way too under-cooked. They're basically floppy little potato tubes. You can order them light well and they fry them for just a bit longer so they don't suck. You can also get them well done, but then they're basically just potato chip sticks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I had the opportunity to have both whattaburger and in n out the same week during a trip to Arizona.

Whattaburger is so whunderwhelming. My memory of it is that it’s like a big ass frozen patty on a mediocre bun.

In n out had flavor combos popping in my mouth.

It’s a no brainer, to me. My partner used to die on the whattaburger hill, but changed her tune after that trip.

Whataburger.

Whataburger is only in 16 states versus Wendy’s 50 so not really fair question.

Edit citation for my original 51. My brain turned off while I typed it out sooo yeah 50 states in the US

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

51 out of 50 states

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well, Canada also has Wendy's so ...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Your doing it wrong. It's the honey barbecue chicken strip sandwich from Whataburger you need to concern yourself with.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Whataburger!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I had to use Google Maps to find the answer to this and the answer is that the nearest Wendy's is 720 km away while the nearest Whataburger is 7,200 km away, which for purely practical reasons makes Wendy's 10 times better.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah no whataburgers in my area and I have never had them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Meh, fast food burgers, so about the same, and I've had both. The whole Whataburger thing is some kind of weird Emperor's New Clothes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

...wendy's has frosties, whataburger has dr. pepper shakes...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

This question is as American as it gets. No mention that it has no interest to everybody that is not from the US. The topic is about unhealthy food that is made almost similar in an anti human economy that only cares for price reduction. It's also very Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

More like Whereaburger! Amirite?

But seriously they don't have those here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Since you're asking everyone, Wendy's wins easily, since Wataburger literally doesn't exist for most people while Wendy's does.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Wendys. Whataburger is too expensive and the burgers are too messy.

Both are good tho

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I just ran across a post asking about what fast food burger is best.

So, I gotta ask, which whataburger? There's two. One is a chain out of Texas. The other is essentially just two restaurants in a town where my cousin lives lol.

I've never had the Texas version.

But the other one? Wayyyy better than Wendy's.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Wendy's tastes vaguely like In n Out. They used to taste way better a few years back. Whataburger is basically Burger King with mustard. Wendy's is by far the better option IMO.
