White Castle

Burgers....my father used to take me to go fishing on the south shore of long Island.....at 5am , coffee and burgers......

Sixteen years old, 2am tripping balls. Lights couldn't be brighter. In fact so powerful they hummed. The bar crowd showing up. Fun times

 

When I was a kid they had car hops that took your order and brought your food to the car.

Do Not Blow Horn

That is true....they would hang the tray on the door.....Wetsons also did that and made fries from whole potatoes on order

I have a White Castle mug I bought at a WC near Woodbridge NJ about 15-20years ago.

Is the restaurant still there?

They are still around

 

I love the image in the OP. Thanks.

They had Krystals (home of the Krystal Burger) down south, which I understand is a regional version of White Castle.   Thought their tiny burgers were nasty. 

How many can you eat?

24....was my max....along time ago...with that said I had an onion ring on every one.....and of course they were cheeseburgers....

Their onion rings are good.

I still go about once a month when I'm in the mood.

 

 

 

 

Oh boy ....they are good

Ah, The Krystal's of the North

Yep but they are our Krystals

Not food.

 No one said it was food

Hella tastey going down. Hurts like hell coming out the other end. I prefer Krystal Burger in the SE. Much better quality.

That however isn't saying much. White Trash Castle doesn't set the bar high.

 

*toke*

Econolodge has shitty wifi... double post.

By the way... Woodbridge, NJ. is an awesome town. I would love to live there. Only an hour into the city by train.

Are you thinking of the one in Sayreville on Rt. 9 just before the parkway entrance Voodoo? If so, it's still there. Used to be a regular stop for munchies on the way home from shows @ the Meadowlands & MSG. Had to make a U turn, but never passed it up. Can't do it anymore though.

Thank God we have real fast food here in the West. Even Five Guys is better then White Castle.

 

*toke*

Ha, just about anything is. We do have more options now than just McD's & White Castle on the East Coast though inc. Five Guys. Smash Burger's pretty good too. Wouldn't mind if Jack in the Box or In-N-Out would move east though.

Smash Burger is overrated, expensive garbage. Their fries are crap.

I've spent most of the last two decades back East. I prefer it there. 

I'm from the West though. The fast food is just better here.

 

*toke*

Five Guys pretty freakin' good but is apples and oranges....white castle is steamed on a flat top.... tastes better than it sounds

Still the worst "food" I have yet to consume...

Great pic

Always a fun stop down the road from Nassau Coliseum after a show....nothing mattered at that point

>Always a fun stop down the road from Nassau Coliseum after a show....nothing mattered at that point

The only WC that I ever went to.  The employees couldn't hang on a normal night never mind multiple nights of heads from the coliseum.

 

 

Everyone has a throw up story from White Castle. Good times.

Hilarious pictures Johnny.

Oddly I do not....

Real cats love White Castle.

 

*toke*

never been, sigh

i haven't eaten fast food in 4 years. it is all pretty gross, even hipster west coast crap.

WC burgers fuel THE MOST VILE FARTS I HAVE EVER SMELLED/PRODUCED in my life.  One of those "How It's Made" nerd TV shows featured the White Castle "factory" - My God, they liquefy a trillion onions in a huge vat w/corn syrup, then soak the "meat" in it, then slather the leftover paste onto the bun.  No wonder . . . 

 

thanks for sharing

No onions, no scatter-gun defecation.

 

The ghost-pepper slider is tasty.

As a Kindergarten or First-Grade student, one of my classmates confided in me: "They got caught putting LSD in the Ketchup at that White Castle."

 

True? I will never know. This would have been the White Castle near Lincoln Park in Jersey City.

Whataburger!!

i was in grammar school when the castle opened up by us on 92nd and 4th in bay ridge  probably around 1964 / 1965

prices were way low - 8, 10 , 12, 15 cents for the food and drinks ???

 

it was a big castle on a big old used car lot

they used to have drive up with transmitters for your order and delivery to your car in the beginning

as i got older it was a place to meet up and hang out on cold nights

it was the place to hang 

it was open all the time and only closed on christmas eve / day

it was a place to stop late at night after going out drinking (not a good idea)

now it is an office building

 

 

 

 

 

It is its own food group.

Never thought of that lol

Krystal in the south, still a couple in town.  I avoid but give in about once a year.

Had White Castle in NJ late Seventies, early eighties...seems like we hit one on Rt. 1 in the Rahway area post gigs.

Of that ilk I think the "best" is Royal Castle. My wife's dad managed a few in South Florida.  

She collects the dishes, they used real plates, mugs, and flatware.  Pricey on ebay.

We hit the last one of the official Royal Castles in Miami still owned by a guy who worked with her dad.  Nice folks who we also met up with in DC when they came up for the second Obama inaugural.  

I know, fascinating right?

My daughter is flying in today from LA with her boyfriend for a holiday visit.

It'll be his first time in NYC.

Right near the top of his list of things he wants to do while here is go to White Castle.

First time I got arrested, white castle on queens bulv.elmhurst.

Krystal's is better.  Love the one on Bourbon Street at 3am.

Best sliders in the world are at White Manna in Hackensack though.  There is a White Castle right down the street.  The sacrilege!

>>>seems like we hit one on Rt. 1 in the Rahway area post gigs.

That one's still there too. Not an expert on White Castles (no, really), it's about 15 mins. up Rt. 1 from where I work. I pass it now & then depending on where I'm heading after work.

I stopped at a WC on Rt. 59 in Nanuet NY Saturday. 8:30 in the morning. 5 rats & 5 rats w/cheese. Breakfast of champions! 

They are good.....never met anyone that said they weren't 

I had a couple of Krystals last week - they are open 24 hours which comes in handy at times.

Never tried it but they look similar 

> How many can you eat?

I think I ate 10 once. It was a long time ago, I was young, didn't know what I was doing...

Young and hungry....18 cheeseburgers.......not so good but it was over about 3 hours

Saw a werewolf at the White Castle by the Holland Tunnel on the way home from one of the 1972 Stanley Theater shows. Never got around to ordering.

I hate when those things happen

Im confused, capt trips, earlier in thread you said it was 24. 

 

Was it 18, 24, or just , alot of cheeseburgers (each w an onion ring) ?

Im confused<<<

Lol

What else is new, Jbone?

Lol, not much, cb , not much...your self?

Doing well, thanks.

 

Still have three White Castle's fairly close..On Northern Blvd. and 87th st. or so in Jackson Heights if I'm visiting my parents and  one on Bell and Northern in Bayside, if I'm on the Cross Island or the Clearview and I get a craving..The one further East on 110 I've never even been to but I kid you not my father in law goes every Wednesday..Still eat a minimum of 4 right out of the bag on the ride home, the next day I feel like I've been out partying all night though ..only get them two or three times a year max..

Haha.. I remember walking into one in cincinnati and trying to order krystal chicks.. I was a little... ahem.. fucked up at the time.
