Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff Orders Whataburger During Texas Campaign


Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff was in Texas this week as part of the presidential campaign for Vice President and the Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, and naturally, he had Whataburger. Emhoff and former U.S. Representative and previous gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke stopped by the Texas-forever fast-food chain in Austin for lunch on September 23.

Emhoff shared a social media video of his visit, where he ordered the number two combo (the double-meat Whataburger with fries and a drink) without pickles and added onion rings. He was looking forward to the spicy ketchup too and shared his fountain drink mixture: two-thirds of Diet Coke and one-third of regular Coke. (He opted to not get Dr Pepper though O’Rourke did point out the shake). He also posed for photographs with staffers and diners.

Statesman reports that they went to a location “two blocks east of Interstate 35 in Southeast Austin,” which seems to be the East Riverside restaurant on East Oltorf.

It makes sense that O’Rourke would take Emhoff to Whataburger — he’s a noted fan of the Texas-born chain restaurant, ordering cheeseburgers sans tomatoes.
