Ed Sheeran might just be an honorary Texan with his fast food takes.
TEXAS, USA — We all love Whataburger, yeah? So do British music stars, apparently.
The Texas-based fast food chain is so popular that Ed Sheeran shouted it out while talking to Alex Cooper of the Call Her Daddy podcast.
Cooper asked Sheeran – who is known for his ballads like “Perfect” and “Thinking Out Loud” along with his pop hits like “Shape of You” and “Bad Habits” – what his favorite fast food burger in America is, to which he initially said Five Guys. But he clarified and said Five Guys was his favorite fast food chain he can get around the world.
When Sheeran is in America, however, he prefers to stop at Whataburger.
“But I’d say when I’m in America, Whataburger in Texas,” the British singer-song writer said. “I think that burger bangs the most in terms of all the burgers that I’ve had, Whataburger bangs. But if it’s an American fast food chain around the world, I’d usually go Five Guys.”
We might even have to crown Sheeran an honorary Texan for shutting down any In N Out debate from Cooper.
“Yes, I do like In N Out but I fee like there needs to be a wide lens view on a fast food restaurant and I don’t think In N Out’s chips bang. I’m sorry, their fries.”
