Layover food

Whataburger has fallen off hard since COVID.

Many places have. Lots of outfits ran on intangibles that individuals brought to the mix, and when long time employees departed the fix, they took a lot of knowledge, some of it critical, with them.

I was trying to get some work done at the house by what was a long time respectable firm. I made the required deposit, and waited. After giving some COVID buffer time, I started calling, and it was near impossible to get an answer from the front or even 2nd line staff. Rather than waiting around to see how it ended, I skipped "Go" and had my attorney send a demand letter right up front.

Owner of the business cut a check to me the day after they got the letter for the deposit and attorney's fees, without even a fuss. Even my attorney was "I've never seen anything like that. They just paid it."

Turns out that some lower level, but still key people split, and didn't bother to hand off any of the processes or even passwords to some of the systems, and most of the business was locked up solid. Despite what I had to go through, which admittedly was minor, I felt bad, in a way, because it wasn't going to be easy for them to recover.

Whataburger has always been average at best in the PHX area. Jack in the Box or one of the *Bertos are much better choices for those 2am after bar food runs. That being said, Eric’s Family BBQ in Avondale (about 20-25 min west of Sky Harbor) is well worth the drive if you have a long PHX layover

I remember WB being a lot better over the years, but the last two visits, it was kind of... "meh".

Maybe it’s better in Texas? Kind of like how In N Out is markedly better in California .

Whataburger was where we went in college (in Texas) when we were being pretentious and acting like we were too good for McDonald’s.
 
Room service in Monterrey Mexico. Chilaquiles with chicken and a fried egg with some avocado. The green sauce they put in the plastic cups was the best green sauce I’ve ever had.

Just got on my deadhead to jfk. Of course after 3 days of nothing I get something that turns my commute home tomorrow into a crapshoot

Those first and second days of the reserve block are there entirely to f with your mind. You aren't getting out of prison that easily :)

My fave was on day 3 of 5, going out for some milk run day turn, and then getting the CS notice at the gate that evening that I'd have to drive home, then drive back the next morning, to do a HI 3 day. It's a first world problem, but driving home and then back the next day is like the most annoying thing. Can't compare to actual commute falling apart for no particularly good reason though

I'm finding more and more that's almost every restaurant now. I dunno if it's owners trying to pinch a penny or people making it simply not giving a crap anymore.
