According to what their PR department says, the first
White Castle was in
Wichita, KS. The first ones I saw were in Columbus OH. I wan't too
impressed with the small size, but I do like them now. Three or 4 WC's
equal
one normal hamburger.
I also thought they started in Columbus... do you remember when they used
to keep a small rack of White Castle Corporate literature (I think they
called them "house organs") at each store?
BTW, note that the buns are no more than Parkerhouse
rolls. Hence the
size
of the pattie. I like mine with cheese and
horseradish mustard.
Yum! never tried that, I either eat 'em plain or with Heinz & Dijon...
I have yet to figure why the frozen varieties cost
more than the fresh
ones.
Well, the box for one, and the little plastic wraps each pair is sealed in.
Then there's the labor for putting them in the bags and boxes... I don't
believe it's an automated process.
