TIL White Castle was the pioneer of fast food, not McDonalds
White Castle has its own take on fast food hamburgers. For starters, the patties are square, with five holes in each patty. And they’re small, too –- two-and-a-half inch sliders. Just big enough to fit into the palm of your hand. And since they’re steamed on a bed of onions, everything is infused wi...
Excellent listen throughout, but you can skip to 17:30 for competition with McDonalds.
You're viewing a single thread.
If you go to Nashville you can go to a white castle and a krystal burger to compare. theyre only a few miles apart.
nearly identical, but theres definitely a difference
As an aside, I will never trust a southern company that has replaced the “c” in their name with a “k”. It is suspect.
To be fair, you are correct for that being the reason in almost all cases when seen in the south.
Wait you're telling me it's not because they have a Kubernetes product?
KDE
KDE Kubernetes Kommander. Don’t ever initialize the name.
The southern chapter of the Kool Kids Klub does not appreciate your suspicion.
Why not? Just the other day I got some delicious fried chicken from the Coo Cluck's Clan down the street and... ohhh I see the problem.
Like Kompact Kar Korner? (real place)
WTF, it is!
So they’re the same, but different?
indeed
Yeah like the same, but different yeah
One has bite size chili dogs and the other doesn't. The only important difference.
Krystal appears to have the bite size chili dogs, not White Castle.
Yes, and here I am stuck in Michigan with no Krystals in sight.
Krystal has a little wiener.
Loved Krystal Burger growing up. Seldom got a chance to eat there. Now I live in a place without them.
Of course it was bad for me, but at least it tasted really good. Fast food now is unhealthy and most of it tastes like dogshit. Which is probably a good thing as it keeps me away.
If you haven't, try white castle. It reminds me of trips with my grandma.
I will keep that in mind!
How would you compare it to In-N-Out?
Completely different style of burger. White Castles are little sliders that are cooked by steaming them. You can buy them in a 30 pack if you want.
They're also pretty gross tasting with a 90% chance of diarrhea afterward. In N Out is more like McDonalds with a tiny menu and better quality ingredients.
I think more accurate is that White Castle has an incredibly polarizing flavor. More than almost anywhere else I've ever eaten, people either love it (some even become devotees and will travel across multiple state lines to get it, and their Valentine's Day special event books up months ahead of time) or they hate it (as, apparently, you do). It's almost exactly 50/50. There might be like 1% of people who are like, "yeah, I mean, it's ok."
Gotta shout out the Jersey City White Mana, inventor of the slider. Possibly. That's what they say at least. I don't know.
I went there a few weeks ago before a trip to Manhattan and it was legitimately great. Reminded me of Montreal's DicAnn's.
