The Great Houston Whataburger Census: A Burger-Fueled Investigation
Ah, Houston. The city of bayous, NASA dreams, and, of course, Whataburger. Those glorious orange and white beacons of deliciousness that serve up burgers bigger than your Texas-sized dreams. But a question has plagued hungry Houstonian minds for far too long: just how many Whataburgers are there within the city limits?
Fear not, fellow patty pilgrims, for I, your intrepid burger scout, have embarked on a quest to unveil the truth!
Operation: Honey Mustard Mapquest
First, we delve into the digital realm. Whataburger's official website [all Whataburger locations in Houston] claims a cool 56 locations scattered across the Houston sprawl. But can we trust those corporate numbers? Are they hiding a secret stash of Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit havens?
Intrigued, I donned my metaphorical detective hat (which suspiciously resembled a Whataburger fry box) and decided to take a more grassroots approach.
Hitting the Streets (and Drive-Thrus)
The real intel, I reasoned, lies with the people. So, I hit the pavement (or rather, navigated the labyrinthine Houston freeways) to chat with the experts: the Whataburger faithful.
My findings? Fascinating and slightly concerning.
- One interviewee, a self-proclaimed "Whataburger Whisperer," swore there was a hidden Whataburger tucked away in an abandoned Blockbuster, fueled by the lingering magic of 90s nostalgia. (This one might require further investigation.)
- A group of late-night Whataburger enthusiasts (possibly fueled by a healthy dose of Whataburger Honey Mustard) were convinced there was a secret menu with a quadruple-patty monstrosity they called "The Honey Bee." (Whether this is truth or burger-induced hallucination remains a mystery.)
Despite the fantastical rumors, a general consensus emerged: 56 Whataburgers seemed about right.
The Verdict: Houston, We Have Our Burgers (Probably)
While the exact number might be a touch elusive (blame those darn Whataburger whispers!), it's safe to say Houston has enough Whataburgers to satisfy even the most insatiable Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit craving.
So, the next time you find yourself with a rumbling stomach and a hankering for a good ol' Texas burger, rest assured, a Whataburger beacon is likely within burger-flipping distance.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important taste test to conduct. Research purposes, of course.
