For those of us in Texas, there’s no doubt the dog days of summer are upon us. Whew, it’s hot! Triple digits here are as predictable as the afternoon showers in South Florida. And right about now, the only triple digits I like seeing are off the radar gun aimed at a Neftali Feliz fastball! (Texas Rangers fans, you know what I’m talking about...Feliz, which means happy in Spanish, makes us very happy.) So summertime makes me think of grilling burgers (and a few veggies, of course) in the backyard. And that got me to thinking about my other favorite fast food burgers. Here’s my list, let me know yours:
1) In-N-Out Burger (wish we had ‘em in Texas)
The absolute best...like an old-time fresh burger you would get at a counter grill...plus Scripture including John 3:16 is printed on the cups...gotta love the Bible and burger heaven. I will send a photo of one of my stops here next week so you can see for yourself.
2) Whataburger (a Texas original)
Born in Texas the year of my birth, 1950...will smell your car up with onions for a week. The best in Texas.
3) Krystal (glad it made its way to Texas from the Southeast)
Soft delectable you can eat by the sack full...perfect balance of roll, meat, mustard, pickle and onions...Deb and I get them and eat them on the parking lot on Sunday nights...a great date and cheap!
4) Five Guys Burgers and Fries (glad it made its way to Texas from the Northeast)
In the Galleria Mall. Very good...my buddy David McKinley’s favorite.
5) Sonic (from our neighbor, Oklahoma)
The Number 2...gotta love a good burger at a drive-in especially when you add a Dr Pepper Blended Float.
