It comes as no surprise that Texans are a bit ticked off by the recent sale of Whataburger to BDT Capital Partners, LLC, a Chicago investment firm. The famous Texas hamburger chain, which boasts over 650 locations in the Lone Star State, has been a Texas staple for over 69 years since it's opening in Corpus Christi in 1950. And now, one Midwest company is poking fun at the sale, sharing their glee of "Chicago's most famous Texas hamburger chain" with a t-shirt.
