How many White Castle burgers can you eat?

#1

Post by 4077th »

I've never been to a White Castle but I'm developing an expensive addiction to the boxed version that's available at Walmart. You get six of these little darlings in a box and they're microwaveable. Problem is, six isn't enough. In fact, I don't know if twelve would be enough.... :eek:

So, those of us that have a White Castle in the area... What's your number? How many of these do you normally make disappear? :cool:

Forty odd years ago, the motorcycle club I belonged to stopped at a White Castle while out on a ride. Must have been about twenty of us. Typical bunch of AMA bikers of that era, not a lot of leather, no chains, no tats, riding everything from a Vespa scooter to a Harley. They refused us service and ordered us off their property. We went down the road to a little mom and pop place that had great food and was happy for our business. I've never eaten White Castle food since.

Never really knew what White Castle was until Harold and Kumar paid it a visit. Seems like a pretty difficult place to go.

We stopped at one in Nashville a couple years ago.I had always wanted to try them as I love Krystal.I forced down 2 of them.They were nasty,to many onions and wet enough to just about be able to eat them through a straw.
I still love Krystal but after the White Castle my daughter that used to like Krystal can't even think about eating one.

I haven't been to a White Castle since the 80's when I was a kid. I can't believe its probably been almost 20 years since I ate at a White Castle. I do remember that I used to LOVE White Castle when I was a kid. I have been searching for one for about the last 5 years. Every time I go on a road trip I keep my eyes open for a White Castle. I have never found one. I don't even think they exist anymore.

I spent most of my life in St. Louis where it is a big chain. I've eaten as many as 6, but 3 is my usual. Sorry to hear about Paul's bad experience. My father used to go there all the time in the 40's on his Harley all decked out in leather.

Many years ago I read a big article about them in the Wall Street Journal. They had a stock program for the employees from the beginning and hundreds of the early employees who stayed with the company retired as millionaires.

I love the place and always stop by for a few belly bombers when I'm in St. Louis. If you don't want them to know you're an amateur order your White Castles (name for regular burger) with extra pickles, cheese fries and an orange Coke.

I LOVE White Castle!! I used to go when I lived in NJ, and when I was on a traveling assignment in MI. I used to get them for breakfast on my way to work when I was in MI. I think 6 is my max., but 3 is the usual.

Being a product of both north and south, I have experienced Krystals and White Castle. I have experienced good and very bad food from both, and I like either. But I have to say Krystals is much better.

As for how many 6 or 7 and a Chili cheese fry. (It sucks there isn't a Krystals in Charleston :( )

Ah, White Castle. Discovered them while I was in college, and rarely miss an opportunity to partake of them when I'm on the road.

The frozen ones can't hold a candle to ones hot off the grill, served on a paper plate.

I think my wife could eat a truck load of them! i can eat 4 of the double cheese burgers extra pickles. We only have Krystals in Texas, so they are good for a snack once in a while. I grew up eating White Castle in MI as a kid. They do have a way of flushing the system!

I love White Castle, although my wife doesn't want to be around me the day after I eat them. :p I rarely eat them anymore, but when I do, I get 10 of them (in addition to eating the leftovers of my children) with extra, extra, extra pickles and onions.

I get extra stuff on everything I order, especially at Subway. I ask for so much extra vegetables that the person creating my sandwich is usually challenged to even close it! I have even told the sandwich creator that she doesn't need to close it because I will just take it all to my table and start eating. I just make sure to get a fork!
