NEVER EAT AT WHITECASTLE.

Normally I would save the moral of the story for the end, but I felt it necessary to let everyone know that if they are lured in by the promise of food at your local whitecastle, DON'T BELIEVE IT! They don't sell food inside of any whitecastle burger locations.

For those uninformed, White Castle is a fast food restaurant found only in the midwest area, starting in 1921 in Wichita Kansas with a $700 loan (which in today's terms is close to $395 Billion). Their big thing is serving 'mini' burgers. These burgers are about 2"x2" A typical "meal" consists of 4 mini burgers which have onions and pickles and some sort of greyish square meat looking thing, and a steamed bun. The bun is steamed in order to cater to people who don't feel the need or are unable to chew. YUM!

My undeniable and unfettered curiosity got the best of me while driving though Missouri. I happened to notice a white castle restaurant, and so after dropping off Tifah and Reid, I headed over by myself and ordered a 4 burger meal with a huge 65oz coke and fries. All for an amazing $5.27.

One great thing whitecastle has going for it is the burgers come out really hot! The first one almost burned my throat while it slowly slid down. I'm not sure what it is, but there's a special relationship between the meat and the bun that anyone who's eaten a whitecastle burger knows about. There's something slimy and moist and pretty disgusting on the inner part of the bum that I think comes from them being steamed. I think in the end, that's what I couldn't get over. That and the fact that I wasn't sure that I was actually consuming a meat product. You could probably collect all the slime and drink it through a straw, but WAIT, THAT WOULD BE DISGUSTING.

People of the MidWest:

Go to In 'n' Out! That right there is a delicious burger. Yessir.

I think that's it. I am getting the burps just thinking about another WhiteCastle.

Till next time,
