I love WHite Castles, but pay for it the next day!

Krystals is the closest thing to White Castle in Dallas. Close...but not quite the same thing.

[mystery-ak]

I love belly bombers...I wish we had one near us..

[southernerwithanattitude]

Krystal here! Makes me hungry thinking about them little burgers!

[Izzy Dunne]

When I was a kid in North Georgia, there was a chain called "Krystal" (yes, with a K).

They had hamburgers for 5 cents. Small, just a patty on a dinner-roll, but I could eat a dozen.

This stuff is so bad for you...

I like White Castle too, but even I'm not cheap enough to make it a Valentine date (and I'm pretty cheap).

I craved White Castles when I lived in Texas. Now that I'm back in Michigan surrounded by WC's, I only go once a month or so, and even then I prefer the cheese sticks and clam strips.

Now I miss Whataburgers.

i get 3 whities and a fish with cheese every morning for breakfast on the way to play golf.
bloody mary's are optional!

DH was recently in the Twin Cities, helping his brother move into a new home. He brought back a case of those things, and after ingesting a few, then waking up in the middle of the night DYING of thirst, I remembered what evil, salty gut-bombs they are, LOL!

I do not understand it, myself. *Scratches Head*

Maybe I'm spoiled? I grew up in Milwaukee, so I'm a "George Webb" Girl.

Either way, my tasebuds have been ruined, LOL!

[Coleus]

now here's some food that's good for you.

I have an old college roommate that probably took advantage of that deal. This guy lived on White Castle, as did we all. But, because of his size (6'5" and 240 lbs) his alimentary tract was, shall I say, accelerated. This boy could "process" 20 White Castles in a short 4 hour period. Oh yes, he could eat 20 in a setting. His usual number was 21, I asked him once, why an odd number like 21, his reply: "20 isn't enough and 22 would be too many". I stopped questioning after that. You have to admire a man that knows, exactly, his limits.

After Larry's White Castle adventures in nutrition the dorm room would become a gas chamber, with me in it. The whole dorm would have the aroma of a New York sewer. And the sounds....tubas and trombones is all I could think of. The little gut busters effect me the same way but I was a bit more genteel than my buddy Larry. I, at least, went to the bathroom to play the White Castle melody, and lit a cigarette.

I forgot to mention the large quantities of cheap beer that Larry consumed with the WC buffet. Fuel to the fire, as it were.

One last story about the White Castle. The one nearest the Medical School campus in Indianapolis always had the obligatory panhandler around it. He had the cardboard sign and all. One night we stopped there to get some slyders and I took pity on the old fellow. I asked him if I he wanted me to buy him a sack full. He replied, "could ya just give me 5 bucks, those things give me the sh!ts". I gave him the 5 with tears of laughter in my eyes.

How many stories has White Castle generated over the decades?

[Mr. Blonde]

Only ate at White Castle once, and if I have my way it will be the only time. I was drunk and still thought it was gross.

I used to work in the plant where White Castle and Krystals were processed. I was a temp for one day :>} Didn't want another one for a few months either.

I a related story Dave Thomas founder of Wendy's got his square burger idea from a burger place in Knoxville called the Blue Circle. Some accounts say Krystal but it was actually a Blue Circle. Dave worked at what was then the Regas's Restaurant which was at that time the highest class restaurant in Knoxville and was owned by the Regas Brothers.

That is where Dave learned much of his stuff. He learned the resturant business from them and applied it to the Blue Circle/Krystal concept of fast food. He would stop in the Blue Circle either before or after work. Blue Circle was gone by the early 1970's and was strictly a local company. They were much better than Krystals actually until the owners sold out a few years before they closed down.
