Decades ago they made an outstanding, old fashioned burger at most of their locations. Over the years it seems their QC has dropped off, suppliers change, foods no longer have the same flavours. The only tomatoes I find anymore that taste like tomatoes to me are out of home gardens and some local greenhouses. Most are picked too early, bad texture, and no flavor. Meat is the same way. Feedlots, lots of corn, sugars, starches, and then pack with brine to extend shelf life. Shipped in from overseas. Many also feed livestock dried chicken and turkey droppings which really does not help the flavour. So yes, decades ago Whataburger made a most excellent burger. Now, it is hit and miss. I loved them 40 years ago. Now it is rare to get one but I will in preference to most other heart attacks in a sack.
