Whataburger: South Texas - Original Fast Food
by ATXtraveler
Pronounced "Waterburger", this is really a delicious option if you are looking for fast food timing great tasting eats!From Whataburger's website:"In 1950, a former bush pilot and entrepreneur by the name of Harmon Dobson opened a small, unassuming hamburger stand in South Texas. Driven by his tireless creative spirit, he decided that his hamburger buns should be five inches – unlike the standard four-inch buns – in order to hold his 1/4 lb. pure beef patty. After all, he thought, people in Texas think big. And he wanted to make sure that when people saw it, they would exclaim, “What a burger!” After selling hundreds of burgers on opening day, Mr. Dobson knew he was onto something big."The original is still located in Corpus Christi, Texas and that is still the corporate headquarters, even though there are now thousands!
