Title: Always Something there to Remind Me Post by: mr.jaynes on July 01, 2007, 12:47:46 pm So after completing my shift at the casino this morning a colleague of mine needed a ride home, and perhaps it is a good thing too. For on my own way home, I saw a Whataburger. Regardless of the fact that they have locations in a number of states, and there's probably one if you want it bad enough, but since joining this board, I have gotten a little more sentimental (not a bad thing), and I just had to stop in for some breakfast!
Well, the memories just came rolling in, as many cherished milestones of my teen years in Tulsa revolved around Whataburger, and the fact that at all hours, we could go in, grab a bite and hang out. Hey, in addition to those monthly luncheons you folks have (and next time I am in Tulsa, I'll join you if you'll have me), perhaps an occasional gabfest at Whataburger is in order? After all, it has a good atmosphere, and they're always open!

They have radio ads running constantly there, and Whataburgers have the same types of locations that Quiktrips and MickeyDees do in Tulsa. Not as clean as a Quiktrip or other fast food places, but their pancake breakfast is one of my favorites to pick up after driving 6 to 8 hours straight to get to the racetrack. Since my job begins at 5:45am I normally try to hit the Whataburgers around 4:30am arriving there to stop and eat and rest before driving out to the tracks. I work at four different tracks in Texas and there is a Whataburger within 15 miles on my trail at every one of them. They do have some great ketchup also. Pretty crazy when I have to work in Kansas on Friday night, then pack up and drive all night non-stop clear across Oklahoma and into Texas to work Saturday and Sunday. Sure wish something good would happen in Oklahoma to pick up the economy here so I could work in Oklahoma and make the same amount that I earn in Kansas and Texas on the weekends.
