Let’s face it – every day we are routinely bombarded with questions. When you’re an emerging media company in Nashville, people just want to know what your opinions are on everything. It’s only natural. And, since our duty is to serve the people, well, we have no choice but to be present. That’s the SoBro Way. Also, aren’t mailbags just a barrel of laughs anyway? Welcome to the newest weekly recurring feature up in this bitch: The SoBros Mailbag. As always, hit us with those mailbag questions @SoBrosNetwork on Twitter, email ’em to me anonymously at thesobrosnetwork@gmail.com. And, holy shit, I need to update this terrible intro paragraph that I’ve been using literally ever since I started writing this column…
Question:
What’s the first thing you’re ordering when @Whataburger opens in Nashville?

Answer:
Light mailbag this week, but I’m okay with it – y’all know by now that I love the chance to really sink my teeth into one question every once in awhile, and the Whataburger phenomenon is actually something I’ve found to be quite interesting this year. So, I appreciate this question, Jesse.
Man….I have to confess….I’ve never eaten at Whataburger. I pulled up their website just to see what all the fuss is about and right away, I notice that hatch green chile bacon burger and that shit is right up my alley.
But, this whole thing is fascinating to me….I don’t think I’ve heard a foul word about Whataburger since it was announced that they’d be coming to Tennessee. People seem to be losing their shit about this, and it’s built the hype up to an uncontrollable level. Makes me a little apprehensive, y’know? Like….I already want to NOT like Whataburger because EVERYONE loves Whataburger, if that makes sense.
We have people out on these Twitter streets that are driving by the Hermitage location to see how far along it looks in the construction of the building (R.I.P. to Applebee’s too, by the way), I know of at least one person that has done some social media snooping to see if they can find any info on when the spot’s going to open. This is like when Titans fans were watching flight paths of planes to try and see if Peyton Manning was coming to town to be the Titans’ quarterback. Insanity.
We’re also getting several locations in the middle Tennessee area. I can’t wait – we actually talked about going to the Hermitage Whataburger and covering its opening day for the website. I don’t know that there’s ever been anything quite like this in SoBros Network’s history.
Keep the questions coming – catch y’all next week!
