"Stephen Kaste, the owner-operator of East Sixth food truck Golden Tiger, took a different approach. The idea for White Castle–inspired burgers was already in the making, originally as a food truck. When the pandemic hit, he took it as an opportunity to modify his plans. Rather than invest tens of thousands of dollars in a new business line, he decided to open Golden Castle as a “passion project” that would exist alongside his current business. The pop-up model suited Kaste, allowing him to offer high-quality products within a specific time window." - Matthew Monagle
