What’s not to like about Whataburger? Two near-beef patties on a sesame seedless bun, mustard and onion to go with the lettuce, tomato, and pickles. So wonderfully old school. Reminds me of the burgers at Hopper’s Drive Inn on Florida Blvd and Bonaventure’s Boat Landing on False River. The meal comes with a quart of fountain beverage or sweet/unsweet tea in a huge styro and their medium order of skinny fries which is like a giant order of anyone else’s. There’s only one shop in BR out on Siegen, but it’s definitely worth the drive if you’re in that oh-for-the-love-of-those-good-old-days mood.
Note to readers: I will be taking a short break (hopefully very short!) until Baton Rouge gets back on its feet. If I come up with something good at the house, I’ll toss it in the mix, either here or on Instagram. Be well. Stay safe. Watch those carbs!
