White Castle - are you a fan?
I am - in a HUGE way. My wife calls them poop burgers. I can't eat enough.

3. There is a restaurant nearby that specializes in "high end sliders"
Basically the owner missed the old White Castle sliders of his youth and makes them with care. We eat there every time we see a movie as the theater is next door.

PS. - 666 - the one for you and me!

10. I agree with your wife.
I gag anytime I pass one and smell that oniony odor.

Give a home cooked, bacon cheeseburger and I'm in heaven.

23. They are delish.
They sell White Castles at the store. You can get a box of them.

This is nice, but it's a mistake. Because you must get them at the restaurants.

YUM.

24. I've had the ones from the store - it's not the same
Another weird thing is that the only place outside the midwest that has White Castles is NY. Odd.

27. That is strange.
There doesn't seem to be any White Castles on the West Coast, for instance.

When the partner and I was in your amazing city a few years ago, we were delighted to see a White Castle just across the street from the Empire State Building. Naturally, we went. :-)

29. I've been there. There is a weird NY/White Castle thing
The Beastie Boys mentioned them often. When I grew up in CT there were none but we'd visit my grandparents in Ny and there it was. I always thought it was a strictly NY thing. Then I learned they started in Kansas and were mainly midwestern.

35. It's a love/hate thing with them.
Some people can't stand them. I could eat a half dozen of em' at one sitting.

There are the ones in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio...and New York. Very, very odd.

56. They could have 1 in Texas and make that map
From Wikipedia "White Castle closed its original stores in Kansas in 1938, and attempted a failed return to Kansas in the 1990s. To this day there is not a single White Castle restaurant in the state. In fact, as noted below under "locations", the chain's extent is strictly limited to the eastern/southeastern sections of the Midwest and portions of the Upper South, with the major exception being the greater New York area."

That's some good eating. I don't even know what part of the chicken the ring is found on.

39. For the rare occasion when I do fast food
Four sliders, a small order of mozzarella sticks (White Castle has the best fast food sticks) and a Diet Coke are the perfect lunch.

Of course, since I'm working on losing weight/waist, it's going to be a while before I have them again.

Edited on Thu Mar-22-07 02:33 PM by EOO
But I like to eat there occasionally when I visit my folks in Michigan. They are not the best thing you can eat, but they are quite tasty. I think they put something addicting in them!

But in Cali - we have the best - In-N-Out, Fatburger, and Tommy's.

And the first time I saw Harold and Kumar. I kinda wanted one then too.

Down South, we used to make late night runs to Crystal's. They also have the small burgers too. If you're really drunk, you get 6-8 mini chilli cheese dogs. Oh marone!

Sliders chasing beer, it's just culinary perfection.

But the methane! Oh, my! Get out your carbon offsets, this is gonna cost!

62. About twice a year I am a fan - I get a craving that almost hurts
then I remember, about 3 hours after I salivate over 5 single, plain sliders, WHY I should not eat them.

Worse? I live in Ohio where they are ever 10 blocks.
