Guests can find the food truck to get an early taste at Lykes Gaslight Square Park, located at 400 North Franklin Street, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There are currently 1,030 Whataburgers across 16 states, with 45 in Florida.

The storm surge brought by Tropical Storm Debby washed away almost 100 sea turtle nests on Anna Maria Island. ABC Action News Reporter Jessica De Leon spoke to the team from Anna Maria Island Turtle Watch, which has been assessing the nests to determine if they’re still viable.
