my first job was working at white castles. sure make you appreciate hard work because they worked my A$$ OFF!

upside- as much free as you wanted during your shift.

downside- you didn't want any after working there for over a month.

great food when your drunk though, 24 hours baby!

Got a white castle both 5 mins from my house and 20 mins from my house. How lucky am i? The worst thing about em is you only eat em at like 2 or 3 in the morning and you always regret it by 7 am. But something about them keeps you coming back. gotta love em. Good ol murder burgers

Those are the shiz. We only get the frozen ones out here, but they're still great, in a Cheez-WhizŽ kinda way!

Really wierd.. I just came home, sat down at the computer... opened up scionlife and pulled 1 of 5 white castle cheeseburgers from the sack and saw this topic on the front page.. I rarely get white castle, as the closest one is about 50 miles away... I was coming home from that way and stopped off for some ;P

i often feel "nostalgic" for them.

outside detroit....we'd gather in the parking lot to show off our 60s and early 70s muscle cars.

i had a Ford Torino "427 cobra-jet" (arguments about the number) with a blueprinted motor and "dual" dual feed 850 hollys (2 four barrel carbs....i added a posi 4-11 rear end). the paint was bad and i had no "rims"....just steelies and bad paint. i never lost, i put the money where it counted (f the body).

my buddy had a black 68 firebird 350 with side pipes and a single 720. it was nice but next in speed....another friend had a purple "Cuda" with a 340 six pack (three two barrel carbs... it was ugly purple and had a fiberglass hood. it almost beat me once.

we always gathered on weekends at the white castle on Gratiot ave., we would lift our hoods to show what was there while we ate sliders, drank beers and then we'd go out onto the road....

we would slow up enough on Gratiot to get almost a quarter mile of open traffic in front of us. the police were pretty much watching who was gonna win without getting involved but when the losers would stick their heads out of the passenger windows and toss empty beer bottles at winners they would get involved. other than that, it was freakin' fun friday and saturday nights (unless i happened to be in "leo's" car which was an American Motors "Javelin" with no motor work on the same 340 and a bunch of "boy racer" stuff (in today's terms). we'd always get our a** kicked on gratiot in that car...but it was a nice looking javelin with a lot of potential.

so the lesson is if your car is fast no need to advertise it as such....if it isn't...put on stickers.

the mopar had a license of PNKSLPS, and the firebird had "Strictly Cash" on the trunk lid.

we were constantly beat by the cars with full blowers and "Mickey Thompson" slicks.

nostalgia

dang they were great burgers (and i made all that up).

$38!?!?!

WTF man. a case is like $18. In St Louis, closest castle to me, WC ham is like $0.44, cheese is like $0.54 each. of course, I haven't had them in about a year and a half, but I can't imagine they are over $1 each now.

But my Z had all the cheerleaders in it
Besides, those 'Cudas rusted like a TonkaŽ Truck in the snow!
