For Mahomes, Whataburger isn’t just a chain; it’s a cherished part of his upbringing. As he shared with NBC Sports, “Obviously, being from Texas, you have a lot of Texas pride. And Whataburger is kind of at the forefront of that”. From enjoying Whataburger as a little kid to sharing those delicious moments with his brother while his mom was working, Mahomes has a deep connection to this Texas-based food sensation.
“I’ve always ate Whataburger since I was a little kid. And then when I got older, I’d 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦sit my brother, and there was a Whataburger literally down the street. And we would always grab that and kind of have that while my mom was working.”
With the opening of more Whataburger outlets in Kansas City, Mahomes is bringing a taste of Texas to the heart of Missouri, and fans are rallying around him, showing their support for both the quarterback and the delectable flavors he’s introducing to the city.
