#37. Celebrate Whataburger’s 60th birthday with a free burger tonight

Sixty years ago today, Texas entrepreneur Harmon Dobson opened a small burger stand in Corpus Christi and called it Whataburger because he believed that’s what customers would say when they took a bite of his big, fresh, made-to-order burgers.


Today, Whataburger is a southern burger icon with more than 700 locations in 10 states. To mark the occasion and to thank its millions of loyal fans, the company will host “Orange Night Out” at most of its restaurants on Tuesday, August 3 from 5 to 8 p.m. Every dine-in customer who comes dressed in the company’s signature orange will receive a free Whataburger.

You'll find Whataburger locations all over the Texas Hill Country (but you already know that!)
