Actually, I have. Back in the mid-'80s my sister used to live down in the northern area of Austin, and I made a couple of trips with the rest of the family down there. Maybe it's because it was so long ago, or maybe they've changed since then, but I don't seem to remember the Whataburgers as being anything much more than a localized version of McD's, Burger King, or Carl's Jr/Hardee's.
And for any Austin P'heads: I also remember the Old San Francisco Steak House (with the girl on the swing and the freakin' huge block of Swiss cheese), just off of I-35. As near as I can tell from the 'net, it is now closed; too bad, as I would have definitely stopped back there should I have ever found myself down in Austin again. I guess I'd better take good care of the little souvenir magnet I still have.....
