New Yorker Helping in Harvey Gets First Taste of Whataburger

Crews from across the country are in Texas assisting with the relief efforts in Hurricane Harvey -- and one got a taste of a Texas original, Whataburger.

The company got its start in Corpus Christi, not far from where Hurricane Harvey made landfall.

The company tweeted they were serving first responders who are helping with relief efforts and found a New York firefighter who had never tried the Texas delicacy.

"These Texas guys want to tell me this is a burger -- the official Texas burger," the firefighter said. "I don't think so but we're about to see right now."

He quickly changed his mind after taking a bite saying, "That is a good burger."

No word on what he thought of the trademark ketchup.
