White Castle fries DON'T only come in one size!
I scratched one of my life's goals off today... i ate at White Castle. I have wanted to try White Castle for as long as I can remember.. way before those Harold and Kumar dudes. Cruising East on the 94 from Milwauke to Chicago, there it was... a giant billboard that seemed to have the light of the heavens shining down on it: "White Castle, Exit 344, Turn Left".
My hands gripped the wheel with excitement, nervousness, and anticipation as I drove 5mph under the limit, making sure I didn't miss my exit. Would it really be good? What if it sucked, what a major let down... could I cope with that type of a disappointment? Maybe its better to just keep driving and for White Castle to remain an elusive fantasy....? What if I get sick....? I am sensitive to Gluten and Dairy, would getting potentially sick and hives REALLY be worth it? What if I got REALLY sick by flooding my body with all that bad shit after going so long without it...? It would be like feeding an Ethiopian a Big Mac, extra cheese... he'd probably die! What if I got sick on the plane I would be sitting on 5hrs from now? My head was spinning as I pulled off the highway, seemingly on auto-pilot... visions of sliders dancing in my head.
............ There it was. White Castle. I entered proudly, smiling ear to ear, ordered 4 sliders with cheese, fries, and a coke. O M F G. Nirvana. The burgers were perfect. Gooey cheesy center, little diced onions, soft spongy bread, pickles.... mmmmmmmmm, I scarfed down 4 and jumped up and ordered 2 more. Perfection.
I didn't end up getting sick.... surprisingly it seems the White Castle gods took care of me today.... they knew it wasn't going to be an every day thing, not even a yearly thing.... perhaps a once in a lifetime thing, and they allowed it. And it was good.
