McDonald's was my go to fast food burger place many years ago. I can't stand them now, and haven't eaten one in years.
Either our tastes change, or we learn to appreciate better tasting food.
I never could stomach their food.
Fat is flavor. Want lean? Eat that turkey shit. BEEF IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FAT IN IT.I used to do such, but:
1. She That Must Be Obeyed doesn't want hers that way. She's a skeerdy kat!
2. The quality of todays store-bought burger is such that it tastes like horsemeat. When I've got the $$, I buy a whole side of chuck direct from the butcher and have them grind it... they usually have to add a bit of fat to make it not too lean. A proper burger should be dripping with fat, leaner tastes should eat elk or bison.

In the home environment where you have greater control over how the meat was prepped and stored, you can probably have a safer eating experience going medium rare on your burger patties. I too like my burgers a little more on the medium rare side of being grilled.
This isn't something I would trust very many fast food burger joints to do and trust to eat in such a way.
For the most part, Whataburger is a decent fast food burger. Not great as far as hamburgers, but better than some of the others IMO.
One burger they have on a limited basis is the A1 Steakburger. Decided to try one several years ago. After the first couple of bites, the flavor went worse after that! Gave the dog the half I could eat.

That's too bad about the A1 Steakburger... it "should" have been good. If you like A1 sauce.
Our Steak Sizzler in my hometown made a steak sandwich. Spencer steak that covered a sub roll. Plain steak with grilled onions and A1 on the table... darned good sammie!!! Haven't seen a Steak Sizzler in years.
When we have our elk processed into burger (lots of elk hunting here) we have them add beef fat... good flavor and makes it not so dry.
My brother had a steer butchered and processed a little over a year ago. The ground beef, I had to add store bought ground beef to it so it had some fat content to make burgers. Using the ground beef for tacos or spaghetti meat sauce, I didn't even have to drain off the fat after cooking because it was so lean there was hardly any!
i loved those damn things.I do like the flavor of A1, so that's why I gave one a try. Didn't like it on a burger. One of the very few times I was disappointed in Whataburger.
