We used to have an annual car show that In-N-Out would come north of the border for. People would be lining up at 6am to put in orders they'd get at 2pm.

I'll wait on trying In-n-Out. It's been a while since they opened here, but they made the news because like, 80% of their staff at all locations had covid.

On second thought, I'll just stick to what I know and like already. If they're fine with making their employees handle food while sick with a pandemic virus, they're probably fine with them not keeping up with hygiene on the job.

The only White Castles here are on the strip or Fremont St...the one time I went the wait wasn't TOO bad (at least, drunk me didn't think so) but I'm more likely to go to Evel Pie instead.

I never understood why they did that when they could (likely quite easily) make a huge killing by building a WC somewhere actually accessible. I went to the one in that casino once and wasn't really impressed, but as I've gotten increasingly stoner in recent years I could definitely appreciate a place that sells a large amount of garbage in small packages.

Oddly, I like the frozen microwave sliders more than the real ones.

The big difference is the amount of onions and the lack of pickle. Pickle doesn't freeze/reheat well.

I love onions these days. If they could put a packet of onions in with their freezer burgers, it'd really close the deal for me to buy way more often than I should.

The jalapeno ones are really good, but I see them about once a year and only at the biggest walmart with a huge freezer section.

Right? That's what CFA did last year, opening a location on Craig, and that place is always packed...but they have the multi-line thing figured out so the drive through is surprisingly fast.

Krystals: southern white castle.

Didn't they go under recently or was that just a franchise owner tanking?

Afaik white castle doesn't do poo poo when they open a new store. It'd be a line of drunk drivers and they can't have all their customers getting DUIs in one night.

E: I will give Krystals credit with the chick. A fried chicken slider really goes well with a night of binge drinking.

I'm just glad that CFAs aren't busy enough to cause traffic nightmares around them. When they opened, any road near them was packed. I don't see the appeal of them at all, even before you get to the bigotry.

I have eaten a lot of krystals in my time, but that was because one of my favorite BJJ classes lets out pretty late and a krystals is the only thing open between there and my house and when you're starving a Krystal's is about a good a place as any. Two sliders, Two chicks, and a coke. Not bad, but I would not wait more than seven minutes for it.

That's an appropriate avatar.

Krystal Chicks are just small chicken sandwiches, of course they're not superior to Popeye's. But Popeye's isn't open when the bars close, so they rule themselves out of the drunk, mini-food trend for drunks.

Fries are fries. If you're hung up thinking any chain is better than the other, it doesn't matter, it's still starch crisped in oil and salted. Waffle cut doesn't mean poo poo.

I realize everyone is going to have an opinion that differs with fries, so be it.

But yeah, S&S does have bad fries. Always soggy as hell unless you eat them immediately. That's more of a packaging issue though, nowhere for the heat to go means soggy fries. Good patty melt though.

I grew up on cottage fries. Never seen those at a fast food joint. Like a thick potato chip.

White Castle isn't even like, a thing, in Illinois. Yeah, it's there, but with no more fanfare than anywhere else. They didn't start there.


Oh, Florida. Just saw Orlando.

Maybe he thinks White Castle originated from Chicago?

I was going to ask who would wait in a line that long for White Castle but then remembered my Mom used to bring a cousin White Castle to Las Vegas from Ohio whenever she went out to visit because he missed it so much. Now they have a White Castle there and when it opened they waited in line for 2 hours. Crazy.

Unfortunately, they over-expanded and hosed up quality. They are in contraction and posting losses for the last few years.

It was a really good high school and college place to grab food and hang out, but the last time I stopped at one on a work road trip, it was just extremely mediocre. Not terrible, but for the price could’ve had something better quality and for the calories could’ve had a delicious alternative.

White Castle is absolute garbage tier poo poo that you should only eat while blackout drunk at best, and even then there are better options. The people that rave about it are from garbage cities with garbage food scenes. Like St. Louis.

White Castle is garbage, I'm not denying that, but I'm not lining up in Orlando. I just prefer it over Krystals, but we didn't have those in Illinois when I was a kid, just WC.

The popeyes 2 blocks from my house has stickers covering half of the sides part of the menu. I guess they needed more chicken sandwich production line space or something.

I ate at a lot of small farm town diners and truckstops as a kid, it wasn't common to have fast food, maybe once a month or every other week in the summer. There were no Sonics there at the time, just a handful of A&W drive-ins, which are now long dead.

Sonic definitely changed somewhere along the way, because I remember really liking their food about 15 years ago. I don't know what they did (expand at a hilarious pace) but they've definitely gone downhill.
