    uh, BK puts more mayo on their burgers than anyone.

    I defy anyone to eat a whopper without a huge, disgusting blob of mayonaise falling out.

    There's this thing called the Internet. Look into it ;)

    Some people claim Jack makes a very brief appearance standing on the stairs waving. Look for it!

    The late night staple after a party, I think, is actually Whataburger. Nothing beats their taquitos late at night. Nothing, ot even the Wiz!

    If I had to pick one of these, though, never had either, I'd go with Jack, just cause it seems better.

    Says who though? I don't know how true this story is, but one of the origins of hamburgers, supposedly the one McDonalds researched and believes, goes to a vendor at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. The guy was from Athens, Texas and his name was Fletcher Davis, aka Old Dave. He created it in the late 1800s and the burger was put together like this: "ground beef was put between two slices of bread, garnished with, according to Grandpa Murchison, ground mustard mixed with mayonnaise, a big slice of Bermuda onion, and sliced cucumber pickles."

    Ground mustard mixed with mayo does not equal mustard.

    There is some reason to doubt this story though, it also says that he served his burgers with fries. The story is he told a reporter learned to cook potatoes that way from a friend in Paris, Tx. The reporter thought he meant France and then called them French Fried Potatoes. That part of the story seems too coincidental.

    Link

    Either way, the people of that town remember burgers from way back and mayo was part of the equation.

    I'm with you Oski. I had homecooked burgers with three fellow native Texans. At least three of us put mayo on our burgers. I wanna say the fourth did too. Did you Buck??

    Word. The bacon, egg and cheese taquito just plain EVIL! It won't quit going in to my belly, and the after effects that leak from my bowtie are horrific...but I still love them so.

    You would taste the mustard more than the mayo. Mayo is pointless and is for Nazis. I guess you would enjoy a Pepsi with that burger too?

    Are you trying to get this moved to D&D?

    The Sonic Car Hop would crush them all.

    Does Whataburger have a mascot? If so he would be a close second.

    Well, you are the one saying mayo is wrong and that only canadians or nazis eat it that way, that's D&D stuff. I haven's said your way is wrong, I just want some kind of proof that most Texans don't do mayo on their burgers. I tried searching for that myself, but had no luck. So then I did a search on the history of burgers found out about one of the origins.

    Also, I can't think of one mom and pop burger joint in Houston were mayo isn't standard.

    Canada in known for putting mayo on everything. They are even known for putting it on french fries. (but that just might be a stereotype)

    Jack in the box came out with the "Texas Burger" (or something like that) a few years ago reporting in their commercials that according to their research people in Texas don't put mayo on their burgers. I swear to god that happened. But now it looks like they just have the mayo burgers.

    Wendy's has a Texas Double Cheesburger that is served with mustard.

    I know of this Texas bias for mustard, too. Never seen a study, or anything...but just sort of general knowledge.

    I hate mayo... and one of the few things from McDonalds that I actually enjoy is the Texas Homestyle burger (peppered mustard), with no tomatoes.

    Just off of the characters I'd pick Jack. The Burger King guy sitting next to the guy when he wakes up in his bed is a bit bizarre. I love Jacks commercials though.

    Yeah, that pisses me off when I forget to ask for mustard and I get a burger with a big glob of mayo on it...I really can't send it back because they really didn't mess it up, so I'm forced to scrape off the mayo and try and hide the residual mayo taste with mustard...

    This one guy put mayo on my philly cheesesteak one time...I wish I was joking....
