  • [S] I'm so happy right now

  • [S] I am so happy right now.

  • [S] What's great about this is that the beef here tastes so different than

  • Korean beef at all

  • [M] Oh Simon no

  • [S] That was a bad idea

  • [M] That was a terrible idea

  • [S] Not gonna do that again

  • [M] We made it!

  • [S] We are so full from all the eating and drinking that we've done

  • but I am pretty sure that if we didn't do a video in front of WhataBurger

  • we would be henceforth banned from Texas

  • So we are going to have late night WhataBurger

  • because that's what we're supposed to do

  • [M] I just wanna say, we lost Leigh

  • Soozie's barely hanging in there

  • [S] Soozie

  • [S and M] WhataBurger! Whataburger! Whataburger! WhataBurger!

  • [M] So we got a Patty Melt which looks like cheese and burger and toast

  • [M] And we got the honey butter biscuit [S] This is a honey butter chicken biscuit

  • [M] And sweet tea

  • [S] Let's go

  • [M] Ching

  • [M] That was like exactly my reaction

  • [Soozie] Wow

  • [Soozie] They don't mess around with sweet

  • [M] Right?

  • [M] Good?

  • [S] Oh mercy

  • [M] This is something you make at home

  • when you don't have buns

  • [S] I know. Yup

  • [M] Look at these grilled onions in here

  • [S] You see that?

  • [M] You see this?

  • [S] Cheese wizz and two patties

  • Texas toast and lots of cheese

  • [M] Oh my god

  • [M] That's the win

  • [S] That's amazing isn't it?

  • [M] These biscuits are so soft and buttery

  • [S] Okay

  • [S] Let's come to a decision right now

  • [S] If you had to choose between Whataburger and In-and-Out.

  • what would you choose?

  • [M] Oh my god

  • [S] My answer is-

  • [S] And that's what we would choose if we had to choose between In-and-Out and WhataBurger

  • [M] I wonder if people are surprised by that

  • [S] I think that's a very fair decision

  • [M] Yeah

  • [M] So that's it for our amazing Houston food crawl

  • we ate all of this food in one day.

  • [M] Can you believe that? [S] One day
