Hey /ck/,
I've wanted to try White Castle for a while now, but living in Massachusetts means the closest one is in New York. I've seen the frozen burgers at Target occasionally. Are they any good? How do they stack up to the real thing?

>> No.6743246

it's just normal fast food

>> No.6743250

>>6743240
the frozen ones you find in any grocer are great tasting, but they have too much salt. the salt really makes you feel down about 20 minutes after eating them.

in general i think a lot of our good american food needs to cut out 10-20% of its current salt amounts

>> No.6743268

The frozen ones are thoroughly toler0le as far as frozen foods go but they are a pale, pale ghost of what eating one from the restaurant is like. Try some from the restaurant when you can. Although it's just fast food so nothing to cry yourself to sleep at night over.

They really lack the unique flavor that you can only get from impoverished ethnic youth salving over a hot grill for minimum wage in their soul sucking dead end jobs.

yes. the urban youths just need more money for the programs. feel shame and guilt, white man. this is all your fault.

They put a White Castle in my town but it just doesn't compare to the one I used to go to in the city. I never thought that it was due to the lack of urban youths but it does make sense.

NYCer here

DO NOT GO TO WHITE CASTLE
IT IS INCREDIBLY BAD
NOTHING BUT BLACK PEOPLE AND ASIANS PASSED OUT AT THE TABLES, ALONG WITH HOMELESS PEOPLE

>> No.6743356

To me the main appeal of White Castle is the experience. You go at 2AM with a bunch of friends, order a shit ton of food, and hate yourself afterwards.

>> No.6743622

Was in New York a couple years ago. Went to the White Castle near Madison Square Garden

Hookers, homeless and junkies in line with me

Order the standard #1 or whatever

Brush off used needle to sit down

Take my first bite and realize...that shit tastes exactly like a fucking McDonalds cheeseburger...exactly

Cleaned my plate. Set my tray on some drunk passed out negro using the trash can to hold himself up.

Had massive diarrhea shits about 2 minutes into the second quarter

Were any of the hookers attractive or were they all black?

>> No.6743663

>>6743629
All black I think then again I didn't want to make eye contact with anyone in fear of getting shanked so I pretty much stared at my shoelaces the whole time. Even when I ordered

Here in TN we only have Krystals. I've never had White Castle.

Has anyone here had both? What was the comparison?

>> No.6743729

>>6743705
Well fuck, now I have to try both

>> No.6743731

Exactly the same.

>> No.6743878

>>6743705
Exact same. Had the Krystal's on Bourbon St in New Orleans it's identical IMO to the White Castle I had in NYC

I feel sorry for you two faggots whom are unable to pick up on the delicate nuances of originality and flavor profiles that differentiate these two fine establishments.

>> No.6743894

white castle is pretty shit
only appeal is that its open late and your high enough to think its a good idea

Krystal puts mustard on their burgers. White Castle is plain with onions. So no, not EXACTLY the same.

>> No.6744052

Agreed and sugar. Those two things are the biggest

overated, and if you go to the shitty parts of new York the urban yoofs will half ass them and they'll taste like shit, always do
