Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

There’s nothing like playing in front of a wall of sound.
Somethin' about them. The onions? Love them!
My 85 year old Granny used to crave them and send my dad out on a mission to get some when she was visiting. She used to pronounce it 'Vice Cahsel', some sort of form of what may have looked like German lettering to her. (after 20+ years in America did not speak but a word or two of English)
around here there are no White Castle burger places. So I've never had one fresh from the grill. I had one once at a friends cabin...he kept a box of them in the freezer and microwaved them. Got to say though, the frozen/microwaved version was pretty bad.
Our late night munchie is quesadillas.

For me, it's Whataburger!

About 7 years ago, we got In and Out Burgers around here. To each their own, but I wasn't impressed based on the hype.

Then there's Krystal. Home of the "Death Cheese" and "Ptomaine Chili". Keyboard player I worked with got thrown out of one after ordering those exact two items.

OTH I'd say my last White Castle run was in 97.
They sell White Castle burgers in 4, 6, 16, and 32 packs in the frozen food section of the grocery store. I think that there’s chicken and spicy ones as well. Never been tempted to try them.

Perversely, I enjoyed the fish sandwich at White Castle.
Wendy’s make a good fish sandwich but only offer it for a limited time each year. McDonalds, never again.
I've had 'em. They're OK(?). It ain't the same as fresh offa the grill. Then again, what is?
(Maybe not so good after a few Zzzzz's.)

There is both a Whattaburger and a Smashburger at Philadelphia International. The alleged cheesesteaks at the airport look like gutbusters. Best cheesesteaks I ever had were off the food truck parked outside the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News.
Weird. I like McD's fish but dang are they overpriced! And on their buy 2 "deals", fish sammiches don't reheat for
. Guess how I know.
There was a whataburger in Orlando...was.

I don’t get it either, McD’s fish is a jr. burger size for the price of big mac.
I got some of the fish sauce on my coat and had to machine wash it twice to get the greasy smell out. I figure that it can’t be good for you.
If you saw me, you'd know that 'good for you' is not high on my list of criteria. Taste is #1, followed-closely-by $ and convenience.EDIT: Makes me wonder how I got this far. Not too much, though.

I don't recall ever being in a White Castle, but at the Royal Castle, the burgers and chopped onions were cooked on the flattop, right next to each other. Onion juice would get in the patties, beef juice got into the onions. And the smell! Mmmmm.
Not going to Orlando this week. Once the hubbub slackens, I gots to go to the WC-get ~4 of 'em.
White Castle Burgers Aren't Grilled, They're Steamed
That bed of onions has an important job: The steam from the grilled onions permeates the burgers and cooks them without exposing them to the grill directly. They can be steamed 30 at a time (the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] in White Castle's suitcase-sized Crave Case) and get off the grill in very little time.
Oh, yeah. Take a whiff
