Water Burger!

[Gato Moteado]

Yes, you Texans and, also, normal folk who have happened to have lived in Texas know Whattaburger. It's Whattaburger as in "What a burger!" Yet, all Texans call it "Water Burger". This has amused me since 1994 when I first moved to Texas, but for some reason this is my first post about it.

1. White Castle is close to a water burger.

Steamed, limp, soggy, smothered in steamed onions on a steamed bun.
I only tried them once. Once was enough

2. My home-made burgers may be better.

4. Absolutely true story:

When I was a teenager my best friend and I lived a block from a Whataburger near Dallas and we went up there to apply for a job. The manager told us we would have to cut our hair so we declined (Got jobs at the less stylistically demanding Pizza Inn down the street).

several years later I moved to Florida and while in Vo-Tech school I met a girl who became my wife. A few years later she got a job and made a best friend. Early on in the friendship we discovered that my wife's friend had grown up in Dallas not far from where I lived.

My wife's friend had an older sister who had worked at the Whataburger my friend and I had applied at years before. She was the manager who wouldn't hire us for our hair.


We're all still friends though. I wasn't mad at her - she actually wanted to hire us but could not bend the rules and I understood that.



Does Mel Tillis still advertise for them? Wh-wh-wh-whataburger! I always preferred Sonic to Whataburger though.
