Got Something You Want To Say?

Good? No. Not unless you have the munchies :hehe:

White castle "burgers" are pretty unlike anything you've ever seen called a burger before. There is a good reason they have the nickname "sliders". :bleh:

WHite Castle is beyond gross! :bleh:
Wouldnt even eat them even with the munchies.
Never that desperate.:hehe: :hehe:

I love your sig Loris. What anime is that from?
I love a good fighting series anime.

Oh thanks. My sig is from the opening to "Shura no Toki", depicting the Mutsu fella squaring off with Miyamoto Musashi. It's a pretty good show. It sort of ties in with legendary historical figures from Musashi and Yagyu Jubei to the Shinsengumi and Sakamoto Ryoma ...

Gotta agree with that. The White Castles seem more like a novelty than an actual burger.

Animated Miyamoto Musashi? Sounds way cool.

I'm gonna have to look into this.... :)

Well, Musashi is only in a few of the earlier episodes. The main characters are the Mutsu guys.

Shura no Toki is basically about a line of martial arts experts (the Mutsu) that fight barehanded. I liked it. It's more than just fighting, there's also some political intrigue and tie-ins with the usual crowd of legendary historical figures.

Still worth looking into, ne?

If it's got Musashi, I'm there. ;)

I got tired of In 'n Out pretty quickly. You SoCal guys seem to love it though. :hehe:

I gotta make sure to get me some White Castle before I go on to the afterlife. :hehe:

Yeah, we do. It's got a fresh, homemade taste to 'em. :)

I like them too. Just not on a daily basis. ;)

Yeah, that would be excessive.

All this hating on White Castle. Jeez!

First, the frozen sliders in the grocery store just aren't the same. I'll grab a box of them, every couple of months, just for old times sake. But---

You have to be there, have to watch them, smell them, being cooked.

You have to grab that bag of 6 or 12 and head for your table, or head out to your car.

And the shakes! The shakes are as big and as thick as the burgers are small and thin.

Fine dining? No. The best burger I ever tasted? Not even close. (That would be Bill's in San Francisco.)

But that White Castle taste. Beats McD's, Burger King, J in the B, and any other fast food chain you can name, hands down.

Late at night, with your friends... White Castle kicks ass.

And truth to tell, you don't even have to be stoned to like'em. Just being hungry works too.

Geez, they need to open one on the West Coast. All this talk has got me craving one now. So right now, it's curry and White Castle. But sadly, there are none here. I'll be sure to grab some at the store tomorrow.

Decades ago, a co-worker brought a bunch of those to work after visiting his home somewhere in Ohio (Duluth?) and I wasn't impressed... They were small, bland, had nothing on 'em, and were good for two bites at best.

Maybe I had to be there. :headscratch:

It might be the same thing as In-and-Out fries. They have to be eaten fresh, cause once they go cold, it's disgusting (IMHO).

This discussion should be in the food thread, but......

I never thought much about In 'N' Out fries... Always thought they were under cooked. Maybe that's why they're awful when cold.

Of course, aren't all fries awful when cold?

If it took you two bites to put a slider down, you did it wrong.

That was one of the main things about them. They were just a half step up in size from an M&M. (And when I was in H.S. they cost a nickle a bruger. Seven cents for a cheese burger.)

Here's the thing though about getting frozen sliders, or having someone bring some across country.

White Castle's success was a response to a meat scare back in the 50's.

There was some big scandle about restaurants serving bad meat.

White Castle survived because they never used frozen meat. Everything was fresh that day. And they took it out of the fridge, and cooked it right in front of you, so that you could see what you were eating. And those little buns were fresh every day.

Like I said, I get the frozen ones for old times sake. But they don't taste the same.

White Castle's not the kind of food you can freeze and reheat.
