it this is the concept, they should go full on and embrace it.

pull the tables and booths, replace them with with lounging couches... clad the employees in togas and stolas... put a big drain in the center of the place...

et viola!

/it's huuuuge!

Le Geno Vert: et viola!

And a viola?

yes, with violins...

romans were big on violins

don't you know your history, man?

RocketRod: They'd make more money if they opened a medical marijuana dispensary next door.

...and played Harold and Kumar movies 24/7

does this coincide with their desire to expand all of their bathrooms? Because, if not, they will need to.

Kentucky has plenty of White Castles. 35 of them in fact. Lexington, Louisville, Cincy suburbs, Owensboro, Glasgow, London, E-town, Frankfort, Richmond Somerset, Bowling Green. Only major places left out are in the far west and far east.

In my experience the only time or reason you end up at White Castle is because you are high or drunk, so I don't think having access to more booze while you are there is a good thing.

Sybarite: White Castle is testing beer and wine sales

I'm trying to imagine what White Castle wine must taste like.

What's the word?

Can't wait for federal medical marijuana laws. That would make a hell of a combination..

You really think you will be able to smoke in a restaurant anywhere by then?

It doesn't get much better than a half dozen White Castle double cheeseburgers.

No, but I also don't see federal medical marijuana laws in the near future, since obama's been a complete hypocrite on that policy. But, for some reason that doesn't kill the fantasy..

White Castle: It goes in hot, it comes out hot.

There's a reason they call them belly-bombers.

Thunderbird.

What's the price?

Used to be able to buy beer at Taco Bell in the 90s. Now you can't even buy food there.

White Castle, if you're up for "experimenting", how about "experimenting" by bringing some friggin' White Castles to the great state of Washington?

Out here, a "slider" is three times more expensive than a friggin' Big Mac, tastes like tarted-up shiat, and is only sold by trendy bar pubs. It's been at least 20 years since I had a sack of real sliders, and I do so very much miss them. (And, no, I'm not buying the "frozen foods farce" equivalent in my grocer's freezer section.)

Get a White Castle out here, please. Get a bunch of them out here, for that matter.

Osomatic: No way are beer and wine going to get me drunk enough to want White Castle. I've had it once in my life, yes I was drunk, no I will never have it again. Just *awful*.

INFIDEL!

Why is it always old people in there in the morning
/No matter what neighborhood

NecoConeco: Screw the alcohol. I'd be ecstatic just to have a White Castle closer than 600 miles

I live two city blocks from one and sometimes I wish they would shut the farker down

In my neighborhood in Queens, we have one of the original WC's. It has outdoor seating and old timers tell my they used to have roller skating waitresses. On Valentine's Day, the put out red table cloths and put roses on the tables. Last year, a friend told me that they had a pianist.

Dude. You have Dick's.

lets burn this motherfarker down pookie!

White Castle would make truckloads of money if they opened restaurants in the south.

FormlessOne: (And, no, I'm not buying the "frozen foods farce" equivalent in my grocer's freezer section.)

The frozen White Castles aren't THAT much worse than what you get at the fast food locations.

Chuck a pickle slice, a little minced steamed onion, and a dab of catsup on them after they come out of the microwave, and it's damn near the same thing.

brigid_fitch: My brothers now live in FL, KY, & TX....

We got Whitey's in KY...I grew up in Louisville...tons o' Whitey's there...I now live down near the KY/TN border...in Bowling Green, you have your pick of White Castle OR Krystal!!! Used to have said option here in Glasgow, but Krystal went away. Which is fine by me, cuz Whitey's is superior.

White Castle sliders are the greatest culinary wonders since foie gras butter.

I think it's either an acquired taste or a nostalgia thing. My family is from Jersey City where White Castle is practically an everyday staple. I never liked them but my father & brothers thought they were nothing short of manna from heaven. My brothers now live in FL, KY, & TX, where they can't get fresh ones. Whenever one comes to visit me, the first thing we have to do after leaving the airport is find the nearest White Castle.

There's a TON of white castles in KY what are you talking about?

Did Doogie Houser just steal my farking car?

The one on Newark Ave, with the bulletproof glass and the cashier with the puffy fluid hand?

Why wouldn't you go to White Mana instead?????

/Kumar, Harold: same question.

If cops set up a dui checkpoint in the White Castle drive thru, they could do away with property taxes.

The alcohol is made with used french fry oil, and fermented in a disused deep fryer from an original White Castle to give it the flavor you'll be vomiting about for hours after its consumption. It's salty with strong notes of fat guy who didn't complete high school sweat.

Looks like I'm going to be stopping in Lafayette on the way back home from Chicago.

A friend of mine told me him & some friends were drunk leaving a concert in St. Louis once. A cop pulls them over & asks where they were going. He told the cop they were lost & looking for a White Castle. The cop tells them they were in a dangerous neighborhood & gave him a police escort to the nearest White Castle.

Actually, that sounds like it is kind of a cool place.

But I wouldn't by beer there. I will have needed the beer a couple of hours before I crave the subtle mix of grease and onion and that perfect bun.

I know more than a few people that use them as a hangover cure food.

And a fine place to test the concept too: lots of Boilermaker fans at hand.

With the demise of the Waffle House on US 52, Purdue needs this. I'll be there after The Pub closes.

Actually, the frozen ones taste better than the fresh ones. And this comes from a gal that lives 10 minutes from a White Castle.

The trick? You have to steam the frozen ones. Not microwave them.

/You're welcome. :)
