Bride just told me Dining Out/Entertainment Budget is Zero

Also, never quite got the appeal of Whattaburger. I love their breakfast options, but the burgers didn't seem like anything different? Maybe I'm ordering the wrong thing...

To me, it's just a hamburger done "right" as opposed to what you get at ~95% of the other places. In-n-Out to me is a better burger, I don't get Smashburger or Freddies, Culver is pretty good too in the Whataburger sense.

Fast-casual places like Five Guys is a different thing IMHO. Don't get me wrong, burgers with half the vegetable counter on them are good too but, aren't what I would call a traditional hamburger.

Okay, that makes more sense. I've always gone there expecting it to be transcending, from what I read online. I'm headed down to Houston on Friday, so I'll try it again with more aligned expectations.

Depending on where he is coming from, I might drop the Jalapeno peppers. The Green Chile burgers are very good! :-D

I must admit I have a bit of bias though, as I used to drive through Hatch, NM just to get a burger from Sparky's. Their Vanilla shake with Green Chilies is really good too! :icon_smile_tongue:

Regarding Whataburgers, I know my mom has a thing for the Whataburger specifically in Gainsville, TX across highway 82 from Wal-Mart. I do enjoy their cheeseburgers but, mom goes nuts over them?

She didn't understand my preference for In-n-Out until I got to take her to one. Now she's a believer too! :grin:

You could always sell BBQ for some extra $$ and eat into some of your profit....

my most recent favorite is a tiny cafe 40 minutes outside of Pittsburg, where you pay less than a McD's value meal, and get a giant plate of killer food

Care to share the place? I'm in Pittsburgh, don't eat out much...but I like to find new and interesting places when I do.
