Didn’t realize the CEO was a Clemson alum. Think he’s pretty recent and lot of comments from Whatsburger nerds saying he’s sent the place down the tubes.
We’ve had them here for a couple years and I haven’t understood the excitement.

imitation Rush's burger on earth. I mean, it's certainly a few notches below Rush's but aren't they all lol? This one is real close. Spicy ketchup is novel.
Overall, meh. But then again so are largely all fast food burger joints.
#1 Rush's #2 5 guys, but F them and they prices. So they are actually #3. #3 Whataburger, becuase most similar to Rush's. Move them to #2 because 5 guy prices. #4 and on is everything else

Old whataburger was good. 2024 post-private equity cost cutting whataburger is like 2024 Zaxbys compared to 2010 Zaxbys. It’s gone off a cliff to average-ville.
In n out still has Chick-fil-A level standards.

There was a time when people lined up at Circuit City and camped out for the latest Windows operating system, or the latest blackberry phone, Nintendo, Playstation, whatever..
2024? People line up for the opening of Whataburger.

all of the game consoles that came out during our college days. I think one time a few of us normies went out and made a scene, or we talked about it then got drunk and didn't, I don't know. Either way I didn't understand the camping and people paying over MSRP just to get one.

I remember when the PS5 came out, it wasn't even in stores. Had to order online. I guess this saved many fist fights and riots outside of stores. And still, people lined up for them when they finally made it to stores.

Whataburger is FREAKING DELICIOUS when you're coming back from a concert in Austin with willki at 2 am. It's good enough at other times, but FREAKING DELICIOUS at 2 am in Austin.

after a full day of racing at Bristol, getting back to Johnson City, our hotel was next door to a Krystal.
We always headed over there around midnight or whenever we got back and chowed down on some Krystal burgers. Good times.
I never ate them any other time.
