Its just another fast food chain |

| ______________________________ [Jul 8,2011 10:40pm - Lamp ""] Fuck Steak and Shake. So I just walked down the road to a Whataburger. This burger snob person was right, flavor was not much better than BK but one thing that needs to be said was that was by far the largest circumference of any burger of any I've eaten at a fast food place, like I just had a single patty burger and could barely handle it. I can't imagine eating there on a regular basis. Nothing to write home about, but an enjoyable meal nonetheless. |

I still have Whataburger drinking glasses from the 80s. |

Oh don't get me wrong, it definitely wasn't bad in the slightest, but it didn't strike me as like "holy shit this rules so hard I need to go here all the time!" kind of food, you know? Having a Waffle House behind the hotel on the other hand... it's funny too, some of the stuff on this menu says it's TEXAS style. I got a chicken biscuit the other morning and it was the exact same thing as the ones I've had in other states, but on the menu here it has the word TEXAS in front of it so you remember what state you're in when you're eating that biscuit. TEXAS. |

| ______________________________ [Jul 8,2011 11:14pm - Lamp ""] The south does a lot of food better, unless you're looking for Italian or pizza. Then the northeast does it better. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 8,2011 11:18pm - brian_dc ""] add seafood to that list |
| ______________________________ [Jul 8,2011 11:19pm - Lamp ""] agreed |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 8,2011 11:26pm - arilliusbm ""] Texans are proud of Texas. Seriosuly. When I was going to school there as a child, we learned more about the history of Texas than the history of the US. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 8,2011 11:27pm - arilliusbm ""] In fact, I have a bumper sticker (not stuck on anything, mind you) that says PROUD TO BE FROM TEXAS |
| ______________________________ [Jul 8,2011 11:33pm - Lamp ""] Having never been here until this week, I always thought of Texas as its own country. It seems to have its own pretty clear dialect, culture, people, lifestyle, etc. |
| ____________________________ [Jul 9,2011 8:42am - pam ""] My best friend lives in Texas, I'm looking forward to visiting her someday...she's told me allll about how intense that place is. She lives in El Paso where you find dead, leathered Mexicans in the dessert as easily as dead animals. |

| ____________________________ [Jul 9,2011 9:25am - pam ""] hahah, oops. Before 9am I take no responsibility to spelling errors. |
| _____________________________ [Jul 9,2011 9:39am - Lamp ""] Well, one thing I can say about this place is that they really do everything bigger here. Mundane things like car dealerships and restaurants are in absolutely MASSIVE buildings for what they are. Must suck to build so many things so needlessly huge to rack up huge air conditioning and upkeep costs. I also walked into the Wal-Mart near my hotel last night... oh man. I can't remember the last time I saw so many mouthbreathing zombies in one place. The first two employees I saw in there were literally standing with their mouths open staring off into space. |
