There should be a warning on the boxes of White Castle Sliders that say, "May Cause Flu Like Symptoms". Other than 1-4 hours of nausea after eating them, they're good burgers.

You're weak old man.

They aren't called sliders, without good reason.

It's the enterance, not the exit. You all are confusing a slider with a taco bell taco.

And I forgot, awesome rings and fries to boot. Plus the chocolate drizzled cheese cake on a stick is good too. Plus they have a special on Valentine's Day where they change the insides to a sit down restuarant.

I've seen this and I am very very tempted to go there once. Just to see.

Scouting Food: Wendy’s in North Riverside IL


Wendy’s is in my opinion the second best fast food chain there is. It’s the most versatile and it does everything fairly well. The prices do reflect that, but it’s totally worth it.

• Patty: 6, can play up to a 7. Grease doesn’t hold well, keeps it from being elite. Decent texture, breaks up well when chewed, works well with the cheese.
• Condiments: 8. They’re the freshest I’ve ever had at a fast food chain. Ever. Crisp lettuce, fresh onion, great pickles. This shit can’t be touched.
• Bun: 5. I mean, it’s just replacement level.
• Presentation: 5/6. It’s the chain that comes the closest to replicating their ad look. Depending on the time of day you can get a really attractive looking burger there.
• Customer Service: 5. Bland, unimaginative, but it gets the job done. I generally don’t feel like a dumbass for going there.
• Overall: 7/8, 5 tool restaurant, all star level food, might be HOF candidate. You can’t go wrong.

"Grease doesn’t hold well".

Therein lies the key, if you smell old grease...run.

I would go, just to see the kind of people who brought their woman to White Castle on Valentine's Day. Kind of like "People of Walmart", but possibly better.

Are you only going to be scouting shitty chain fast food joints?

From an old thread of mine here, thought the sarcasm was pretty funny.

http://thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=overrated_sandwiches

"If you like emulsified dick meat, then you'll love the McRib. This is the only sandwich that almost didn't make it onto the list because of a technicality, that technicality being that it's not food. The patty is made by grinding lips, assholes, and tripe into a toothpaste-like consistency. Then it's caked with chemicals and pumped into an injection mold to give it a spongey gray texture, then dunked in a runny McRib sauce, made mostly out of water & corn syrup."

Haha, nah. I'm stuck in the Burbs for the holidays though so I'll be doing that for about a week. Then, fine dining with MRubio52.

Gotta agree w/the link...lol

"I first heard of White Castle burgers years ago when my friends on the East Coast were raving about them. Then years later, "Harold & Kumar go to White Castle" came out and I was further intrigued. Then I finally went to Ohio, home of White Castle, and tried it for myself. The verdict? Extraordinarily shitty! These would be great if I were a stoner dipshit. But I'm not, so they're not.

White Castle really deserves some recognition here, because to make a sandwich this bad takes effort. Even the cheapest store-bought bread and lowest quality ground meat won't produce a burger this greasy, and this freshly stale. The best way I can describe the flavor is to go sit in a busy diner that smells like onions and grease for 4-8 hours. Then come home, change your clothes and smell the clothes you were just wearing. That smell is how these burgers taste: stale.

Each burger comes wrapped in its own paper sleeve, and yet, the paper sack I was carrying my food in was transparent from grease seepage. On top of the shitty flavor, these burgers are tiny, almost too small to qualify as a slider. This image of the patty being compared to the thickness of a quarter has been floating around the Internet for a while now.

The meat is pounded as thin as deli cheese. And if you look closely, there's a layer of doughy film right underneath the patty where the grease has moistened the bun, giving it the consistency of pig snot. These sandwiches are the perfect thing to eat if you hate yourself. "

Wonderful idea for a thread. Can't wait to see more.

Hole in the walls would be awesome. That's my cup of tea personally. I love tracking down those kinds of places.

For me worst burger ever. Greasiest of all. Once got Wendy burger thru drive thru. Grease ate thru bag and was still on car seat but jtop of bag was in my hand half way out of the car

Chili US bland and way too many beans

Frosty is great and nuggets compete with White Castle rings for best fast food nuggets

Yup, White Castle is trash. uke:
