Dick's is the place where the cool hang out, the rich like to play and the SWASS flaunt clout!

Also, "Whataburger"?!? Are you kidding me? Whataburger (or 'water burger' as people say in Tejas, ILTCIT, ITWILTD) is fine, but it's basically a good version of Burger King.

Also, the size of the burger should only matter if you're a South Sudanian refugee who has never seen modern food.

If you want more food, buy two!

I do.

Dick's Hamburger, Dick's Special, Fries, Large Coke. Suck it.

Dick's Rules.

Also, best line I've ever heard about Dick's:

Walking by a Dick's is like walking past a beautiful hooker on your way to work, you know you probably shouldn't right now, but you always want to anyway.

That really did make me laugh out loud. Happens nearly every time I'm on I-5 nearing the exit for 45th. The pull is strong, very strong.

BTW Dick's Deluxe > Dick's Special. I mean, why fuck around if you're already committed to future coronary bypass surgery? Their fries suck, though, IMO. I know a lot of people who love em, but I've never liked them, they can be greasy and soggy. I'd rather double down with a cheeseburger to chase the deluxe.

As for WhataBurger, it depends on where you get it and which burger you order. They are just okay in general in Florida, but one of the tastiest fast food burgers I've ever had was late night at a WhataBurger just outside of Corpus Christie. The half dozen or so IPA's I had before may have influenced my perception a bit, but that's not much different from the state I've been in for most of my late night trips to Dick's.

Someone in here mentioned Kidd Valley. I used to live within "walking distance" of the one on 25th. I haven't had a burger there in nearly 30 years, but I agree, they made/make? a great "fast food" burger.
