I am here for any and all White Castle slander but also have to say Whataburger ain’t it
The ad should just be this dude saying C’mon…Ted over and over
Man, use that guy for every (soon-to-be!) Senator O’Rourke ad from here on out. He’s hilarious.
Let’s all just admit that neither of the mass-produced “burgers” mentioned in this ad can hold a candle to insert your local awesome burger joint here by any stretch of the imagination, shall we?
I take burgers seriously and could discuss my top five or so of all time, including the one from Marty’s Country Pub 20 or 25 years ago about which I remember every characteristic because it was my favorite and remains so. This is my plea that we not politicize burgers. We’ve ruined enough already.
Definitely keep it local. If I am ever travelling for work and get a craving for a burger, I always ask around for the best local burger joint. Have had some great, varied styles. All enjoyable.
