They are over rated. And I'm a Texan.
I used to be a Wendy's guy 100% but after moving and being far from any fast food, they're all kinda gross now unfortunately. I kinda miss liking Wendy's lol
Now it's my blackened burger with Bleu cheese and caramelized onions all the way! Goddamn it now I need to make one tomorrow...
You got a recipe you're willing to share? Would love to try making one of those.
Unfortunately I just kinda wing it with everything I make so I couldn't tell you measurements, but it's basically garlic and onion powder, thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and paprika. Other than that it's just a matter of coating the burger with butter and the seasoning and cooking it on high heat then top it with the Bleu cheese and caramelized onions!
No worries! That sounds awesome, I'll have to take a shot at it this coming week.
Whataburger. Whataburger. Just what a burger should be. The unbeatable, unbelievable, bigger, better burger. Whataburger.

Iβm sad that our timeline only has one component of the Infinite Burger Mystery. Happy that we donβt live in the Whosaburger universe though
Whataburger vs Wendy's is a poor comparison. I see their true rivals are Five Guys, Shake Shack, and In and Out.
And if you're wondering about my pick, it's Five Guys.
Five Guys is way overpriced imo. Sure they fuck you up with fries, but it's not worth the almost $30 for a single person to eat there.
In-N-Out, on the other hand, is like $12-13 for a combo for one person and it's goddamn delicious every time.
And five guys fries are almost always overdone. To the point of tasting bitter.
I mean I tried In-N-Out, but it was just... Fine? Maybe it was over-hyped before I tried it, but I wasn't blown away. It didn't do anything wrong, but it didn't do anything for me.
My comments were steered more towards the burgers, but I will say none of the places I mentioned impressed me with the fries (esp Whataburger).
You should try the fries Animal Style and In-n-Out.
Get everything animal style at In-N-Out
I feel like in n out fries by default are way too under-cooked. They're basically floppy little potato tubes. You can order them light well and they fry them for just a bit longer so they don't suck. You can also get them well done, but then they're basically just potato chip sticks.
In n outs fries actually taste like packing material. Probably my least favorite fast food fries. The burger was fine, you know for fast food.
I had the opportunity to have both whattaburger and in n out the same week during a trip to Arizona.
Whattaburger is so whunderwhelming. My memory of it is that itβs like a big ass frozen patty on a mediocre bun.
In n out had flavor combos popping in my mouth.
Itβs a no brainer, to me. My partner used to die on the whattaburger hill, but changed her tune after that trip.
Your doing it wrong. It's the honey barbecue chicken strip sandwich from Whataburger you need to concern yourself with.
Whataburger.
Whataburger is only in 16 states versus Wendyβs 50 so not really fair question.
Edit citation for my original 51. My brain turned off while I typed it out sooo yeah 50 states in the US
51 out of 50 states
Well, Canada also has Wendy's so ...
Whataburger!
This question is as American as it gets. No mention that it has no interest to everybody that is not from the US. The topic is about unhealthy food that is made almost similar in an anti human economy that only cares for price reduction. It's also very Reddit.
Meh, fast food burgers, so about the same, and I've had both. The whole Whataburger thing is some kind of weird Emperor's New Clothes.
...wendy's has frosties, whataburger has dr. pepper shakes...
I had to use Google Maps to find the answer to this and the answer is that the nearest Wendy's is 720 km away while the nearest Whataburger is 7,200 km away, which for purely practical reasons makes Wendy's 10 times better.
Yeah no whataburgers in my area and I have never had them.
More like Whereaburger! Amirite?
But seriously they don't have those here.
Wendys. Whataburger is too expensive and the burgers are too messy.
Both are good tho
Since you're asking everyone, Wendy's wins easily, since Wataburger literally doesn't exist for most people while Wendy's does.
I just ran across a post asking about what fast food burger is best.
So, I gotta ask, which whataburger? There's two. One is a chain out of Texas. The other is essentially just two restaurants in a town where my cousin lives lol.
I've never had the Texas version.
But the other one? Wayyyy better than Wendy's.
Wendy's tastes vaguely like In n Out. They used to taste way better a few years back. Whataburger is basically Burger King with mustard. Wendy's is by far the better option IMO.
