Whataburger? As a fmr Houston resident I feel uniquely qualified to say it's not even close to in and out. the freshness, the product quality, the service. All behind In and Out IMHO. The shake is is good though. Perhaps just a little below In and Out.

If Houston is in Texas, which it is

, then is rhink Brazier is in TX. Their burgers are pretty awful. The Hawaiian Blizzard, however, is excellent...if properly mixed!

I think the reaction to this perception is a leading cause of In and Out bashing. It's the old "I-liked-what-you-like-now-ten-years-ago" or "I-never-llike-anything-that's-too-popular" mentality.
