Whataburger
Whataburger is a fast-food restaurant, specializing mainly in hamburgers. It was founded by Harmon Dobson. The first Whataburger opened in Corpus Christi, Texas on August 8, 1950.
The chain grew throughout Texas in the 1950s, and by 1959 was expanding to other states, the first one being Florida. Currently there are locations in ten U.S. states, and in Mexico.
Whataburger is known for its distinctive triangular, orange-and-white striped restaurant buildings. Whataburger restaurants are also open 24 hours, unlike most McDonald's restaurants and other competitors. Some of the food items include the Whataburger Jr. (a smaller version of the Whataburger), The Justaburger (a Whataburger Jr. with only mustard, pickles, and onions), and chicken strips meals that come with Texas toast and gravy.
On Phoenix Suns televised basketball games, commentator Al McCoy used to advertise Whataburger by adding What a shot, Whataburger!! to his traditional Shazam! everytime a Suns player made a three point shot.
