This glorious beast:

Our Monterey Melt starts with two 100% pure beef patties, melted slices of American and Monterey Jack cheese with a blend of grilled peppers & onions. Topped off with jalapeno ranch for just the right amount of kick.

Honestly, this thing is decadently and disgustingly delicious. Two juicy beef patties are covered in melted Monterey Jack and American cheeses, and then slathered with jalapeño ranch dressing; grilled peppers and onions add a smoky sweetness that offsets the bite from the jalapeños. I took bite after bite, my resolve to eat just half thrown out the window -- I killed the entire sandwich in just a few minutes while my dog looked at me with longing.

This is a hangover-killing burger of the highest order. It's a breakup burger that will make you forget your ex's first name, phone number and address. It's everything a fast-food burger should be -- so right, and so wrong. I highly recommend it.

A few weeks ago I noticed my local Whataburgers (AZ) no longer offered it. At some point recently, it appears they updated the webpage with this smalltext:

It's been a good show, old friend. At least we have the Chorizo burger in the meantime to soften the blow:

Arguably the best fast food burger chain.

Even those who disagree would agree it's pretty high up there. It's mostly a Texas thing, but they're also all over the South and AZ.

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

I'm really missing our Whataburger 2 miles away that was open for maybe a month or two before Harvey wiped it out. Had a chorizo burger after a meeting on Friday, it was amazing. Mmmmm

 

[Gragen]

I concur, had one and it was great.

As a former Texan, you're setting people up for disappointment. I do like some taquitos though.

 

[TylerD]

I'm in West Texas. I like the Monterey Melt but will go for a Green Chile Double with spicy ketchup and fries on the burger every time.

The new Monterey Melt is chock-full of the stuff you expect fast food to be chock-full of: calories (1130), fat (74 grams), carbs (58 grams) and cholesterol (170 mg). But you know what really knocked me off my chair? The sodium count -- 4050 milligrams of sodium! That feels like All the Sodium in the World, frankly, and it's contained in one single sandwich.

why

 

[TheCochese]

Oh God, if they do this to #16 I will die.

Sucks enough already I have to drive to SE bumfuck AL or Jax to get one.

 

[ahoyhoy]

If they're so good why aren't they on the East Coast.

 

[Tagyhag]

That looks gross, I still want to try Whataburger though.

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

A chorizo burger? I gotta make one later!

 

[Viewt]

Fuckin love Whataburger. It's so cheap!

Their Honey Chicken Biscuit is also good as hell.

I live in Chicago now, so there's no way to get it, unfortunately. But man, when I lived in Tallahassee, it was a staple.

 

[Pastry]

That’s fucking nasty.

Just get the #5 and add jalapeños.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Have you ever tried a Cuban Frita?

Wow they’ve really expanded. I vaguely remember it being mostly Texas and Oklahoma.

I hope they go nationwide honestly

Its not amazing, but for the price and quality and availability, it was the best thing when you were a college student. Multiple that by the infinite degree if you went to the bars and had the munchies afterwards.

 

[Smellycat]

why

Wtf at that sodium count

 

[Aeana]

But you still have the honey BBQ chicken strip sandwich, right?

 

[BeardyChan]

You have a picture of Austin's own Daniel Ricciardo and you don't know of the greatness that is Whataburger? It's a Texas tradition, up there with the In'n'Out and Shake Shacks of the world.

Tots forever!

I didn't know about the Chorizo burger, now that I do I am conflicted with the reality that one man can only eat so much. For now I must decide the fate of my stomach.

 

[Archaix]

why

Every burger on their menu is 1000+ calories. It's insane and I can't quite figure out why myself, though I've only eaten there a handful of times.

last i checked, i believe so.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I didn’t know this was a thing and I live in AZ so now I’ll never be able try it and will be aware of that forever. Thanks OP.

 

[Pastry]

Nope! A #1 is only like 600 or so calories.

 

[Jellycrackers]

I was scared when I read the title, but luckily I'm still in that region. Only thing I ever order the few times I treat myself to Whataburger!

 

[chbrevolution]

I can't believe I use to hate whataburger without even trying it when I was a kid. Everyone I knew called it "water burger" and in my kid selfs mind I didn't want a burger made of water because it wouldn't have any flavor. It wasn't until I was in high school until I actually tried it. I lost so many years not eating it but I more than made up for it in college lol.

 

[Haines]

Never had whata

Had shake shack and would be shocked if it was even better

Five guys only thing we have here and it's solid.

 

[Pastry]

My college diet consisted of 2am trips for Taco C queso and honey butter chicken biscuits.

 

[abundant]

Well, that blows. I tried one last month and liked it. At least the Green Chile Double is still available in Albuquerque.

 

[captive]

monterey melt is my go to at Whataburger, its so freaking good.
