I don’t see why I would want a Whopperito when I can go to one of the local [Bob’s Burgers](https://www.yelp.com/biz/bobs-burgers-albuquerque-5) and get a taco burger. ---

> [@chacoguy](#): > > You’ve never been to a State Fair, I see. I did have a grilled Limburger sandwich once at the Wisconson State Fair. And lots of yummy New England ice cream at the Blue Hill Fair in Maine. It’s the food-like things that are formulated by the Marketing Directors at the Burger King Corporation and the McDonald’s Corporation, et al, that make me wince in disbelief. ---

My fast food places have menus behind the counter that look like diners’. If it’s a national name, you can forget about my going there. ---

So a Whopperito is basically just a wrap with ground beef, lettuce, cheese,tomato and pickle slices? I envisioned a Whopper wrapped in a bean/sour cream/guacamole/salsa-slathered tortilla and then deep fried. Major letdown ☹ ---

First they try hot dogs, then mac and cheese inside a puffed cheetos (that doesn’t look right), and now this? There’s so many gimmicks going around you could have sworn that World Wrestling Entertainment purchased the restaurant chain. ---
