Ever since I saw Saturday Night Fever and the scene where they go to White Castle and they show the little cheap burgers being made.....I been wanting to try one.

Next Summer, I finally get a chance. There's an IN N OUT in The Colony too across from Grandscape. The mega retail center owned by Warren Buffet with a Nebraska Furniture Mart, Scheels, stores, restaurants, amusement, you name it. Cool.

After eating a few, you’ll find out why they’ve been nicknamed “sliders” ;-)

White Castle is my guilty pleasure. When I used to work crazy hours they would always be open for a cheap meal. I missed them while living in Dallas although Whataburger became my other guilty pleasure.

White Castle burgers are small tasty bits of fun in your mouth-either with or without cheese.

You will enjoy them. The onions are grilled and the yeast rolls used make it lean to the sweeter side.

The place sure is not fancy, though.

Very simple and inexpensive little burgers that aren’t bad at all. Especially when you’ve been out late bar hopping with the posse. Their quality has not declined since I had my first 50 years ago to the last one I ate a couple of months ago. Not many chain restaurants can say that.

White Castles are ok once in a while, I love their onion chips.

Just shove two restaurants apart and slide a White Castle in between.

you name it. Cool.

Working nearby, it's far less impressive in reality. Also, skip In and Out... there is no poorer fast foot burger.

You also have Savvy Sliders - one each in Dallas and Ft. Worth.

They sell white castles in the frozen section at my Walmart.....probably not AS good as just made but they’re fine as far as I’m concerned.

I’ll never forget in 1973 seeing my first White Castle on Bardstown Road in Louisville and wondering how they could get away with copying Krystal restaurants.

If it tastes anything like their frozen ones at the grocery store, no thank you.

Movie?

What about this classic. And the two great sequels.

Krystal came into the market about 20 years ago and got off to a great start. Then they slowly closed down, one at a time.

Of course, now that whole chain is in full collapse.

Ya hear that, Arkansas? You too Iowa, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.

Get off your butts, and get some stores opened. And to let everyone know ... the frozen ones are all right in a pinch, but they nowhere near compare to fresh hot ones bought in an actual White Castle restaurant.

They should probably change their name to “Diversity Castle.” That’ll work.
