Texas Whataburgers

Way back in 1950, an adventurous and determined entrepreneur named Harmon Dobson opened up the world’s first Whataburger on Ayers Street in Corpus Christi, Texas. He had a simple goal, to serve a burger so big that it took two hands to hold and so good that with one bite customers would say, “What a burger!” He succeeded on both accounts and turned that one little burger stand into a legend known throughout Texas and the South.
Since we try to sample local fare we made a lunch pilgrimage to the original store, which has a great view of the Bay....

We had an A-1 Thick & Hearty Burger.   Little-known fact: this sandwich was originally conceived as a creative response to a lettuce and tomato shortage and is now one of What A Burger's all time favorites
