'I would eat this particular burger again, which is something I have never said about a Whataburger,' writes food critic Alison Cook.
I made fun of Whataburger’s new chili cheeseburger with Fritos tucked in when it appeared in my Twitter feed Wednesday night. “Do. Not. Want,” was my immediate, visceral reaction. I went to bed grousing about gimmickry and stunt food and the whole trend of sticking snack food in burgers.
But I awoke yesterday remembering the excitement and anticipation among Whataburger fans in my feed. A couple of them had already rushed out to try the new menu item. They liked it.a wild Venezuelan-style burger garnished with tiny fried potato sticksI remembered that Frito burgers had been a tradition in Houston — land of the Frito Pie — for more than a decade.
There wasn’t quite enough chili for me, either; and I longed for a second cheese slice to jack up the slidiness of the sandwich. Who makes a double cheeseburger without double cheese? I ask you.Viola & Agnes’ Neo-Soul Cafe reopens in Seabrook after hiatus and it's as good as ever What I did enjoy was the way the raw-onion crunch and the snap of the Fritos added texture. I had forgotten that Fritos are not among the saltiest of snack foods, so the salt content of the burger stayed within my comfort zone. And while at least one person in my timeline did not appreciate the jolt of yellow mustard, I liked it. It compensated for the mildness of the chill and added a tart thrill.
Squish but no ooze. The chili was too beefy and the patties too well-done for that. There was debris, however: falling Frito corn chips and squares of raw onion.A little pricey, considering there’s not quite enough chili and only one slice of cheese.The shake of the season is the curiously elegant-sounding “White Chocolate Raspberry,” so improbable that I had to have it. Alas, it underwhelmed.
