Jericho: Castle Jones
I have a serious White Castle jones. For those of you that don't know, go educate yourself here: http://www.whitecastle.com
I grew up on those little burgers. Some of my fondest memories of hanging out with family and friends revolve around White Castle. The thing that REALLY stinks is that I can't find a White Castle anywhere in the area and the last time I was in STL, we were too busy! I haven't had a hot, fresh White Castle in nearly a decade.
I got close. The last time I did a work trip to Chicago, my Mom came from STL for a visit. She surprised me with a bag of Slyders! Even cold, they were like manna from heaven. Fast Food Heaven, but still!
One night Max and I went to White Castle. They had just introduced Chicken Rings. I don't know if they still have them, but I ordered them with Onion Rings. It was so wrong but oh, so right!
Anyone else see Harold & Kumar? yeah, that movie was just torture for me. I just wanted a White Castle!

They do still have chicken rings!
The really sad thing, now that I'm actually doing a little investigating, is that I was a cab ride away from White Castle the last time I was in Chicago. I asked one of the locals, but he had no idea where White Castle was and I didn't think to actually map out the deal!
Sad! *angry tummy rumble*
Hehehe... there's one at the corner of our street. Come for a visit and you can have belly bombers every night for dinner if you like... but you'll have to sleep outside. :-)
There's this commercial they play here where it's a guy who lives where there aren't any Whities and his friend who lives near one sends him empty boxes just to torture him. We've concidered doing that to you, Jer.
They now have "flavored" chicken rings. For those who find them too chickeny, there are now ranch dressing and Tobasco flavored rings.
Hey! You could open the first Whities franchise in Seattle. You'll be rich.
I'll take those empty bomber boxes as well as a side of fry boxes!
I have considered trying to get a White Castle franchise out here. But, I think the locals would think it was some voodoo or something:
"Wait. They sell tiny hamburgers? Made of ANIMAL flesh?! Yeck!"
"I'll have a double tall non-fat slyder mocha latte. What do you mean I won't like it?"
"That burger is hella small!"
"Is there any caffiene in those chicken rings?"
You get the idea ...
"Here's four sliders and a large coffee. Come and tell me about tofu when you're done eating."
Beef: the cure for rampant vegitarianism!
Cows are herbivores.
One is what one eats.
Beef is a vegetable.
So, what you are saying is that if I want to be a carnivor, I need to eat other carnivors. And since the only carnivor to prey on carnivors is man ...
Cannibalism. It's the new fine dining.

Okay, I've done the microwavable burgs, and, they just aren't the same. Heck, I can get those in the vending machine here at work now and then. Not worth the $2 for 2!
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'll get some Castles someday ... someway!
