What is it about this fast food chain that Texans love so much?
at Bon Appétit! Which means every day, we'll be sharing stories about food on the long and lonely highway. Or not so lonely if you grew up traveling across the country in a minivan packed with six of your closest brothers, sisters, friends, and Poochie the carsick beagle. So buckle up, and don't make us turn this car around.
In Texas, the standard Whataburger is made with mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and diced onions on a toasted five-inch bun. But one of the many things about Whataburger that makes it so beloved is you can order your burger any way you like and they won’t even blink. My preference is a Whataburger with cheese, mayonnaise, pickles, jalapeños, lettuce, and tomatoes.
For instance, there’s a gas station outside of Longview that fries up a classic juicy thin-patty burger, which they offer with a free side of spicy pinto beans you serve yourself from a slow cooker by the register. Then there’s Top Notch in Austin, which not only has hand-breaded onion rings and a chandelier crafted out of Lone Star bottles, but its default charbroiled burger is made with mayonnaise, all of which makes me smile.
Breakfast begins at 11 p.m., which gives the late-night visitor a choice in what they wish to eat. In fact, Whataburger is open 24 hours and it’s often the only thing going at that time of night. It’s the rare Texan who doesn’t have at least one story involving a visit in the darkest hours. One late-night indulgence for me involved guys in tuxedos, a bride in her gown, and stacks of burgers and fries doing their best to help mitigate the effects of Shiner, wedding cake, and the chicken dance.
