BeckyCooper - > The Daily Commute -> Whataburger times five
Whataburger times five

Earlier this week I stopped by Whataburger on my way home to get a snack and I experienced something that still has me shaking my head in disbelief.

I was in the drive-thru lane waiting to give my order when I heard the guy in the car ahead of me order a hamburger with five - yes, FIVE patties!

This guy looked fairly small and fairly young, but looks can be deceiving.

When I heard “five patties” I started listening closer to make sure I was hearing what I thought was.

He wanted a No. 2- double meat double cheese, plus three patties. Then I heard the clerk say “are you sure?”

So by the time they finished his order, he had a triple-meat, triple-cheese burger meal with two extra patties, an order of fries and a Sprite.

The clerk kept asking him if he was sure that is what he wanted and he kept saying yes.

As I got my order, I asked the clerk to verify what I had heard. And she verified it - appearing to still be in shock from the order. She said that he said he was going to eat it all by himself.

I can barely eat a single meat hamburger. I can’t imagine eating that big of a burger. She said it was about three inches thick with just the meat.

She said the meal cost $11 and some change.

I have heard of people eating challenge meals. Maybe that is what this was. Who knows?

Call me a food wimp, but I like my burgers one patty and one slice of cheese at a time.

If anyone knows this person, let me know if he really did eat ALL of this giant burger.

More like snorting a few too many Pixie stix.

I have days when I can barely finish a happy meal. Do you think he was planning to stretch it out for a few meals?

Sounds like this guy has been smoking way to many happy sticks:)

mmmmm,,,,,.... hope it wasn't my Army son who was down here visiting. There are no Whataburger's where he is stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska and he told me he was going by the Whataburger while he was here and get his fix. ;)

 

Seriously, I don't think so. Too much of a runner.

LMAO,

A Quintuple meat cheeseburger is too much even for me.

I used to regularly eat a triple-meat triple cheese (plain and dry) but nowadays just a double will do.

I will get the quadstacker at BK but then their patties as sooo tiny.

Now you really want to hear a good one about a great (sarcastic) waitress?

She actually got into an argument with my Mother who was trying to order. Mom wanted a Cheeseburger.

 The waitress INSISTED they do not have cheeseburgers, but they could add cheese to a Hamburger if she wanted.

A smart waitress would have just said "yes ma'am, and put the dang cheese on the hamburger. But no. She had to actually argue the customer.

Could have been extra patties to share with his dog, ya never know. I hope that is the case. Maybe he and his dog eat together, or he feels guilty eating in front of Fido with those pitiful brown eyes looking up at him. I know it gets to me, so maybe he's learned to come home with extra for the mutt. Otherwise, yea......and we wonder why America is obese, right? He won't be keeping that skinny frame for long if that super-duper heart attack on a bun was all for him. Things have a way of catching up with you in the later years.
