I think it's a regional thing. They have them in West Texas but only tested them a few months ago in the Austin area and then withdrew them. It was an excellent addition to the Whataburger line and I hope they bring them back around here.

I love them but my issue is that I don't allow myself to eat two patties very often. I convinced them to do it once with just one patty (you wouldn't think that would be an issue) but came to realize they charged me the menu price. Oh well.

I went to Jax Burgers for lunch and the sign outside just said "HATCH CHILES ARE HERE."  I eagerly ordered a green chile cheeseburger and the lady behind the counter had no fucking clue what I was talking about.  And then disagreed with me that the sign said hatch chiles at all.

The sign didn't say they were on the menu.

That's nuts. You can get a single version of their specials at a lower price, I've done it often.

Yes, I had one earlier this week. You questioned whether or not I knew what it was.

What's a "BoB"?

Breakfast on a Bun
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

With chorizo of questionable provenance.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

I rest my case. I never questioned whether he knew what they were.

You asked if I was sure.  As if you were asking a Thai hooker if she'd ever seen a penis.

Or if she were attracted to Nancy Grace.

It was a legit question. You did not explain that you were sitting in front of one at the time.
