You're probably right and I just can't seem to grasp
paying $20 for a burger, fries, and drink at Five Guys.
Whataburger was super unimpressive, and I even gave them
a second chance just in case it was an off day for them
or me.

Whataburger has taken to overcooking their burgers across the chain, it
is a noticeable change from years past.

Perhaps their insurance carrier suggested that they do that unless
specifically requested by the customer. It's a rather prudent move.
When I was going to school, a burger joint next to the campus served
burgers that were practically raw. My wife didn't want any part of it. I
thought it was pretty awesome. These were old time thin burgers. They
were not easy to cook them that way. My guess is that the cook just
looked at them mean.
