Texas’ Favorite, Whataburger, Wins Again

Whataburger, the much loved, (and born in Texas), fast food chain, just scored another win over competitors in the fast food burger world.

Texans are very particular, (not to mention proud), of certain things and non-Texans would be well advised to show them respect. Dr Pepper, bluebonnets, BBQ and football just to name a few. As for burgers, Whataburger is sacred.

We Texans already knew that but the rest of the world is catching on now and a new survey just gave Whataburger yet another nod - they offer the best value.

Yep, they have the best burger and you get the most burger for your buck.

Burger King didn't even crack the top 3, finishing 4th at $1.99 per ounce. - thedailymeal.com
