Food: Whataburger

There are two Whataburgers on Newberry now. One is near the fork in the road by Bento's, and another is just past I-75 going west. I'm not sure the city of Gainesville can even support two Whataburgers, but hey, what do I know?

Here is a "Whatameal" #1 combo. It comes complete with a standard "Whataburger" (roughly equivalent to a BK "Whopper" in size), a bunch of fries, and a tall soft drink. Plus you get two "Whatacandies" (the top right of the tray). They don't actually call them Whatacandies ... or at least, I hope they don't.

The burger is mustardy and less "mayonnaise-y" than a Whopper. It has lettuce, onions, pickles, tomatoes, and lots of mustard. The fries kinda sucked, but at least the ketchup comes in cool platic packages like McDonald's nuggets' sauces. The soft drink selection was good. The whole meal cost a hair less than $5, and probably provides enough calories to feed an entire African village for a day.
