White Castle's have the best onion rings. I can't say that they would get my vote as the best burger, but sometimes you get a craving for the rat burgers. After 3 of them though, I've had enough. :wink:
On the upside, they are really cheap.

The burger was unbelievable.

Mel Tillis owned and started them. With a Texas drawl...it's called "Waterburger." :lol: No where in can did I ever find in the History of Whataburger, did I find Mel Tillis owning the rights. He may have had a franchise locations somewhere, but he did not start or own the Whataburger Corporation! Tom Dobson, son of Harmon Dobson is still the CEO! They still make a great burger, the way you like it! Fries have digressed a bit! Sorry, did a paper on them when studying Business way back in High School.

Yes sir...I did a half-ass apology in my 2nd post on this thread. I'll offer the rest of that apology;.......  my memory did not serve me as well as Whataburger did back in the early 80's. I remember all the ads on TV were done by Mel. (at the time) How I confused myself on his role, has me questioning many things now. Back in the 80's ....weren't they experimenting with subliminal messaging, using TV commercials? :? In the future, I'll try not to use my memory for facts...just where I ......ummmmmm...where I... ahhhhhh ... * *  ops: :?:

Wow, there was a huge gap between when I actually posted that, and when it showed up on the thread! It should have posted before your second one.
Must have been one of those subliminal things! :-) I remembered the adds going down the road earlier today, he was pretty good with them, much better than the ones today! anyhow, catch ya later!

We have Whataburger AND In-n-out here in Prescott....Whataburger isn't that good and IMHO In-n-Out is over priced. Ralleys in the midwest is good, but messy as hell (also have one in Phoenix). Fast food isn't my favorite food anyway. I do enjoy stopping in Wikieup, az on the 93 south of Kingman and eating at Joes BBQ. Joe and Rose did stack trucks and they take care of drivers. Its on the left side at the north end of town. If you ever stop their......its a bit costly but GOOOOOOOOOOOOD. Used to be you could get Joe on the radio and order your food before you got there.

But, I suppose that would be determined by which WAY a trucker was heading! :wink: I agree entirely on the conceitedness of both Texans AND Californians! The only thing BIGGER than their hats in Texas.... is their EGO's!! In N Out has a "decent" burger at a good price.... but those fries are nothing special! I was inside one recently, and the "lackey" kept dishin' them up BEFORE they were even ordered and covering them with a napkin to keep 'em warm. When they became the 9th basket sittin' there, he dumped 'em BACK into the oil to heat 'em up again! :shock: :roll: TASTED like it, too! :x Whataburger's are actually not too bad for fast food! Been awhile since I'd had one until I started trucking. They haven't changed much over the years since I "dwelled" in Texas! (which is more than I can say for the other fast food empires!) But, NEITHER are "all that!" :roll: I WOULD tell y'all where the BEST burgers are..... but, that was another thread! :wink: THIS one is about a fight between Whataburger's and In N Outs!! And, that's pretty much like a mudwrasslin contest between two fat ole ladies! But, I DO love Texas and Kalifornia!! Without those states, where would be send all the Braggots and Faggots??? :shock: :lol: :lol:
