Karl and Carol Hoepfner a couple living in Texas is on a very different kind of journey which the readers of burger-joints.com will really love to know about. The couple have started their journey to visit all 722 locations of Whataburger; a Corpus, Christi based chain.
Way back in 1962 the journey was started when Mr. and Mrs. Hoepfner have sampled first burger at the chain. When Carol had to undergo radiation in Houston earlier this year, the tour got to be earnest. The couple decided to visit a few burger-joints of Whataburger during their down time. Though the figure reached to encouraging 90 locations. Then the 10-state tour is planned and implemented by the couple; which grab attention of lot of burger (especially Whataburger) fans.
The response by the officials from Whataburger is of course overwhelming for the couple. In one of the recent visit to a Whataburger, they got hug by Whataguy, the official mascot of Whataburger in a joyful moment. Even a cake was frosted in White and orange – the official colors of Whataburger, with message, “Welcome Karl and Carol”. Such a nice and genuine response by the burger-joints chain to such a genuine fan of Whataburger is sufficient to make their eyes tearful (tears of joys, of course). Karl Hoepfner has his own way to measure the tastiness of a burger. In his own words “A Whataburger is a very good burger if it takes six napkins, seven is just outstanding”.
The passion of the couple is really something to take a note for. Keep it up guys!
