New Zealand Family try Whataburger for the first time! 

I love how you adapted to the eating in the car culture that is America.

The Spicy Ketchup! You forgot the spicy KETCHUP!!!!!

as a kiwi who goes to the US a lot I love whataburger

I am a Texan and Whataburger is our prize burger. There's none better.

In the US, a burger contains ground meat. Doesn't matter the bread containing it. It's still a burger. Any other type of meat on bread. Is generally called a sandwich. A fried chicken breast on bread or bun. Is called a sandwich.

"What would you like to order?" "Yes"

Welcome to Texas! The chaos in this video cracks me up, but who DOESN’T feel this way eating Whataburger 😂. One of the things you missed that is an ALWAYS for me is their onion rings. I go there sometimes just for those. Loved watching this from you guys…the laughter near the end was spot on!

The key to whataburger is making the burger to your liking. Most don't know you can add/substitute just about everything on your burger. Any burger can be on Texas toast, chicken patty instead of burger patty. You even used to be able to add a chicken patty on top of your burger patty.

I live in Corpus Christi, Texas home of the first Whataburger. 😀

A Texan here! Love watching y’all enjoy Whataburger! I’m a born and raised Texan but spent 5 years in NY. Everytime I came home I would stop at Whataburger even before seeing my family!!#GodBlessTexas #Andwhataburger

If you ever get a chance again guys Whataburger breakfast is where it's at. They have the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit which is amazing as well as the Biscuits N gravy. Plus you can add toppings to everything on the menu. One personal favorite is Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit and add jalapenos!

I lived in Killen, Texas. We'd get Whataburger all the time in the Army. The Cheeseburger with mustard, oh man. So good

The thing you have to understand about Whataburger is timing. You are correct in that they don't blow anything out of the water(excluding the jalapeno cheddar biscuits those are awesome). It is all good and it fills you up. The key is that it is open 24 hours. When you grow up with it around it is comforting to know that when you can't sleep at 4 am you can run grab something to eat.

Their honey butter chicken biscuits are incredible

Texans swear by Whataburger which originated in Texas way back in 1952. I had my very first Whataburger back during 2011 when I professionally drove Railroad crews via limo vans to their trains from the depots and hotels and one of these men asked me if I had ever enjoyed a Whataburger. I asked him; "A what?". He smiled and said; "You are tonight." and He buys me my first ever Whataburger meal. My favorite is the double cheeseburger with everything on it.

For the life of me, I cant figure out why watching ppl eat is so interesting.

Thank you all. For the escape from our lives and a glimpse into yours nz family. As an American, im so happy to see your excitement in trying our foods. God bless and good luck in the future

Whataburger used to have a burger called the "A1 Thick and Hearty Burger." It had double meat, double cheese (cheddar), grilled onions, bacon and a healthy dose of A1 Thick and Hearty sauce. It was amazing! Every time I visited Texas, I would buy it. It's been a while though. I wish that they would bring that burger back!

I love how you guys got to do all this. Your kids will remember these moments for ever.

I loved that Oklahoma University Sooner new head football coach Brent Venables, when his flight arrived in OKC, he insisted they stop at Whataburger before going to the hotel or campus since it was late, but he loves Whataburger. He bragged on how good a meal it was.

Whataburger is my favorite fast food place ever!! The double Whataburger with jalapenos cannot be beat!

I'm from Corpus Christi TX home of the Whataburger we love it ❤

Love the genuine excitement from your family over the norm to us Americans

What makes Whataburger so great is..........unlike ALL the others on your ranking list, Whataburger is open 24/7! Can't beat Whataburger after a night out having a great time and on your way home at 4:15am. Not to forget about their breakfast items.....really good biscuits and taquitos and fajitas.

Obsessed with how chaotic this is 😂 Whataburger is just that good! Hello from Fort Worth!

Thank you for a fond memory from when my kids were young!. Me and the wife and our two kids eating in the car on a road trip-a truly American thing 💌

I’m a HUGE fan of Whataburger!! None better!!

whataburger went down when that Chicago company bought them. Also, it's really good when it's 3 am and you need food, that's where whataburger comes in clutch.

The chili cheese burger is a burger with frito pie added. A burger is a patty made from ground (minced) meat. It can be made with slices of bread or with a bun. A sandwich is made with a solid piece of meat ad can also come on slices of bread or a bun. Chicken strips are better with honey mustard than with honey butter.

The “eat up and we’ll tell ya” reference from Dumb and Dumber got me dying You just earned a sub

Your entire trip to the US is off the charts adorable. Such great family memories! Love to see my country from a different perspective too 😊

High praise coming.... I worked for Whataburger and i still eat their food. I cant say that about other fast food places ive worked.

Awe! Whataburger started in my hometown in Texas. Still a favorite today and my cat loves patty melt sauce!

As someone based in San Antonio (Home of Whataburger), I'm filled with pride and happiness seeing "out of town" folls like you and JOLLY getting to enjoy the incomparable Whataburger! Rock on, y'all - totally subscribed now!🎉 🤠

This warms my soul like a meal from Whataburger.

Gotta love Whataburger!

whataburger is my favorite burger place

This family's travails across America will conclude with their group visit to a Cardiologist.

A bun does not differentiate between a burger and a sandwich. Buns are just bread and any bread will work for either a burger or sandwich. The defining difference is a burger has a patty of ground meat or meat substitute in between the bread/bun and a sandwich will typically have slices or a fillet.

Love your creativity, it's inspiring!

You forgot the onion rings, their my fav because they're battered rather than breaded. Also, you should trying their breakfast menu.

That is thick cut Texas Toast! Dang sure aint bread yall! Haha! The key is finding what you like. They have American, cheddar, Pepperjack and Swiss Cheese, grilled onion, jalapeno, mushrooms and peppers, buns and Texas toast, bacon, avacado and 15 sauces/condiments. Burgers and grilled/fried chicken. Their fries and onion rings are excellent, and all these items are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except for Christmas and New Year!

Welcome to Texas where everything is bigger and better!!!!! Glad to have y'all here. It's an honor.

As a native & current Texan, I'm soooo glad ya'll got to enjoy the Best Fast-Food Burgers in Texas!! The original Dbl-Dbl What-A-Burger, the Swiss-Mushroom What-A-Burger, and the Patty-Melt are my favorites. ✌

Spicy ketchup at whataburger is a must for me.. I have a bottle of it in the fridge 365 days out of the year

I’m Texan and was raised eating the chicken strips with the white gravy. It’s so good.

When I lived in Texas, I frequented Whataburger regularly. So good!

In America the definition of a burger is any sandwich( it doesn't matter what kind of bread) made out of hamburger meat AKA ground beef hence when you take that hamburger meat and make it into a patty it becomes a burger. Short for hamburger meat sandwich. No other kind of meat can be called a burger. They are just sandwiches which also can be made from different types of bread. Hope that helps. You guys are so great!!!😊

Something What-A-Burger has over a lot of other fast food places is the actual size of the Burgers. The vast majority of fast food places have smaller beef patties as well as smaller buns. One inconsistency that What-A-Burger (and a lot of other fast food places) is that the cooks don't always season the beef patty when they are cooking it. There is a mixture of Salt & Pepper in a shaker they are suppose to put on each patty, but I have discovered that it is hit or miss if they do put it on. Once you find a good What-A-Burger that actually does season their patties you tend to go to that one even if it is a little further away than another. I worked at What-A-Burger back in the early '90s as an overnight cook, and me and my co-worker (only 2 of us overnight back then) were constantly getting praises for the service as well as the quality of the food. It happened so much that our store manager had me change to morning shift for a week to train the other cooks. It turned out that NONE of the day cooks were seasoning the patties as they were suppose to, and that was the big difference. Once they started seasoning the patties on every shift we shot up to one of the most praised stores in the Houston Area. It just goes to show you how much a little Salt & Pepper can improve the taste of food. Also, I was the very first person in the Houston Area to be taught how to make the Biscuits when they first introduced them.

This family has a real sense of innocence. And I know innocence better than most I'm very captivated by it and feel as this innocence should always be protected at all cost. May God bless this family and many experiences they get to share together and show the world God bless em

Several things. That sandwich bread is called, Texas Toast. Whataburger is known for BURGERS. You can't compare Popeyes to Whataburger because Popeyes doesn't sell a burger, they're known for CHICKEN. Chick-fil-A is known for CHICKEN and there's no way, IMHO, that their burger is anywhere near Whataburger. Lastly, a few years ago Whataburger (Texas family born) was sold to an investment group in Chicago and the quality across the board has gone down understandably. You missed the window. You didn't get to try their breakfast menu. The big negative with Whataburger is that they don't serve breakfast 24 hrs. a day.

Whataburger is on point! GREAT REACTION GUYS!!! ❤🙌🏼

lol I just picked up my order from Whataburger 😂

When you were making jokes about "What A . . .", it reminded me of the Christmas when I went to a certain fast food restaurant and bought all the different plush dolls they offered from a television show. One character per week until you had all six or eight? characters collected. Running short on time to wrap them, I left each one in the bag it came in. This way my niece couldn't see what was inside, (as a good wrap should be), and she would be getting MANY presents at once instead of a box with many. So it's Christmas morning and the family is gathered around to give each other their presents. When it was my turn, I handed her one of the bags. She opened it, and happily cried out the name of the character, since she loved that show. She was happy with that, but I said there was another, and handed her a second bag. Again, she named it and was happy. After three or four times, I handed her another bag. "Napkins"!, she said. What, I had inadvertently given her a bag of napkins that I kept in my car to clean the windows on frosty mornings until the car warmed up. We all laughed so much, my brother, her dad, fell off his chair. I gave her the rest of them at that time, because you just couldn't top that reaction. I remember now, it was eight dolls. This was in 1984 when she was only three. So many memories.😂

For those who dont know Whataburger is a TEXAS Staple started August 8, 1950, Corpus Christi,, TX and just sold On June 14, 2019, the Dobson family sold its majority stake in the company to BDT Capital, a Chicago-based investment company.

We are getting one of these near us soon. Glad you did the review.

We always drive through the night from Louisville to Destin, FL, and we stop and get Whataburger as soon as we can!!! It’s my favorite. Wish we had it in KY.

Thank you New Zealand family for enjoying my hometown stable. WHATABURGER. My hometown Corpus Christi home of the first Whataburger. I cant go a week without having a burger. 😋

Best thing about What A Burger is you can build your burger anyway you want it regardless of what the menu says it comes with.

I love your family's enthusiasm for food! 😂 One of life's greatest joys.

My mouth is literally watering. Looks so good!!

Whataburger became famous in Texas for it's original huge hamburger, not chicken, sandwiches or sauces, just classic burgers, fries and shakes. My favorite to this day is still the classic Whataburger with mustard or mayo, pickles, lettuce, onions, tomatoes & cheese. Bill in Waco Texas.

I grew up on Whataburger's in their hometown and it was family owned.. They had a stand about a block away from us but my parents would drive us over there. Us little kids were in pajamas and dad would walk up to the stand and order our food and bring it to the car to eat. It was plain and simple then but so good and affordable. Just burgers, and fries. Oh, and you could choose shakes OR malts. No one ever offers malts anymore. Boy have they grown up. I think they sold out to some outsiders now. A lot of people don't know that you can get the buns in wheat also. And if you ask they will grill the buns for your order. Many of their sauces and breakfast sausage is sold in stores here.

Whataburger got bought out by a Chicago firm a while back and it hasn't been the same. I am from Texas but just moved to Chi and sadly there are no Whataburger's here. Regardless could still use a sweet & spicy bacon burger, some spicy ketchup or a honey butter chicken biscuit(y'all need to try that, great late night snack.)

I wish we could have a Whataburger up here in Concord, New Hampshire.😞

As a Texan who currently lives in Minnesota for work and has traveled the country, NOTHING beats whataburger for fast food.

"Patty Melt" is a sandwich. Essentially. a "Melt" is a "Grilled Cheese" sandwich with additions. Some examples are : tuna melt, BLT Melt, turkey & bacon melt, patty melt, etc.

My favorite root beer is Virgil's homemade root beer. It has all the herbs that were first used to make root beer and it's so delicious.

With a classic Whataburger yiu can taste every single layer of it in every bite & its fresh & tasty. Haven't had any other place like that.

Interesting fact, in the Library of Congress the first Cheeseburgers were made with Ordinary slices of bread. The burgers were made in a grill that stood vertically and cooked on both sides at the same time. Funny part was the restaurant, to this day, frowns on putting ketchup on the burger....for a burger lover it is a must to visit. Stay safe NZ Fam.

Whataburger is life! ❤ born and raised in Texas, and have lived all over the U.S., Whataburger is the best burger hands down 🙌🙌

Whataburger was the pinnacle of fast food in Texas until they sold to an owner out of Chicago very recently. I've given them chance over chance since the transition, but it's now missing that extra Texas factor that made it so famous. Don't get me wrong, I get it, and I probably would have sold too, but us Texans could begin to tell the difference in the quality and flavor of the food after the change over.

Its amazing how much food you can eat when you're young. At 62 I could probably eat a regular sized burger and fries and be full for an entire day. I used to be able to eat a lot more when I was young but honestly we didn't have fast food restaurants everywhere like we do now. I grew up in San Diego in the 60's and 70's and the only fast food chain restaurant we had close by was a Jack in the Box and later McDonalds, Shakey's pizza and a few Taco Bells. My parents didn't like fast food and rarely took us out.

Indeed. The Whataburger patty melt is the best meat and bread Whataburger has to offer. I know because we have a Whataburger right down the street here in my hometown in The Colony Texas.

Y’all are awesome. Life long Texan here. Saw the barbecue last night and loved it. Makes me Love being a Texan even more.

We don’t have a Whataburger here in our town. It all looked good to me. Thanks for the review & I know what sandwiches or burgers I’m going to get if I ever get to one. 👍😋🍔🍟💚😊

Most of the burgers served on slices of bread are commonly referred to as some variation of a "melt". The most common being the Patty Melt.

In Texas at WHATABURGER you can special order any burger on Texas Toast

Are we not gonna talk about how openly and obviously mind-blown and "astounded" Mom was trying much of the feast, but turns around and drops the "Nothing really blew my mind" at the end? 😂

Generally, we think of a burger as a beef (patty) sandwich. The bread doesn't change it. You can call a burger a sandwich, but not all sandwiches are burgers.

Never had Whataburger... When I asked, Dad always just drove by.

I love Whataburger! My absolute favorite burger place

So nice to see you all enjoying our USA burgers. Fun fact: Though there is still debate around this, it's said around these parts that a pair of brothers from Akron, Ohio, invented the hamburger (and the ice cream cone). Today, we enjoy local favorites like Swenson's (LeBron's fav), Skyway, and Bob's. And our neighboring city of Barberton is widely known for its fried chicken. So if you're ever in Northeast Ohio, come check us out!

As a Texan, I can tell you that as delicious as Whataburger sandwiches are, they make a better breakfast. They make the best pancakes you'll ever have and fantastic taquitos.

Ther term burger was coined in the US as short for Hamburger sandwich, hence the Burger. Hamburger is a nickname coined for ground beef. Ground beef got its nickname from immigrants who had brought the idea of ground beef over from Hamburg Germany. The Hamburger terminology is slowly being substituted for ground beef in the modern market, but still holds true in products like hamburger helper. As an American, when someone refers to something being minced, I would immediately imagine something along the lines of something finely chopped by a knife such as minced onion, or minced garlic. In the instance of what is referred to mince overseas, I would call ground since it is ground by a meat grinder. In short, they are all sandwiches. A burger is a patty made of hamburger sandwiched between 2 pieces of bread, or a bun, but sandwiched none the less. Great reaction video, thank you for sharing.

I enjoy seeing you enjoy new food that you don't get in NZ but I really really like when you visit a new place, like your visit to New York!

Sweet & Spicy Bacon Burger. Add Creamy Pepper Sauce Add Pickles Add Leaf Lettuce (Used to Add the grilled fajita veggies but they no longer have that) Also if you can tell them to let the onions cook in the blood of the meat. They may not do it, but its highy worth it.

I enjoy watching you guys enjoying the good.

I actually like Whataburger's breakfast a lot more than their lunch or dinner menu. The Sausage, Egg, and Cheese on a Jalapeno biscuit is top tier.

Whats up y'all I absolutely love my N ZED family I stumbled upon your videos 2 weeks ago and have watched every single one end to end now im going through kiwi kicker videos your family and videos have brought a smile back to me since losing my job 2 months ago so thank you all for what you do and have done keep up the awesome family bond and I look forward to your future endeavors

All the way through the 9:00 mark of the video I kept thinking about how much food you guys ordered. Then Nadine asked about the last food item, and you dropped the Dumb and Dumber "eat up and I'll tell ya" line and I couldn't stop laughing.......!!!

It's so good to see New Zealanders experiencing American life. Sixty years ago, a What-A-Burger was quite different; that is, the beef paddy was twice the size it is now; routinely, they were 1/2 a pound of meat. However, the variety was far more limited. I well remember (here, in Texas) the introduction of the green chilies on a cheese burger. That was beginning of the development of their menus. Also, it's to be remembered that getting the $0.85 (that's 85 cents) for a burger was very difficult. At any rate, I greatly enjoy watching your videos as I was partly raised in Europe and few Americans can understand my experiences. Keep up the good work.

Poor NZ family, they never knew how contentious the debate between In N Out and Whataburger can get. 😂

I really love this sweet sweet family. I really hope all NZ’s are this great. I hope to visit one day!

The difference between a burger and a sandwich is whether or not the meat in the bread is ground up or minced. If the meat is grounded or minced then it's a burger, if not then it's just a sandwich.

"Old school burger taste." You know your burgers...spot on!!!

Go slow. Don't hurt yourselves. Whataburger is da bomb! So gooood. Welcome to Texas. Just get a double cheeseburger and fries. There's also regular ketchup and spicy ketchup.

Whatavideo and Whatafamily ❤

If I just saw a picture of you guys as a family, I would guess you were from the Midwest US. You guys are slowly becoming American with all our food you are eating!

Yall are the sweetest family. Please move to the USA. Florida panhandle. Yall would fit right in. The people in bay county are sooooo sweet.
