Who remembers WC Sliders? Still crave? I know...frozen products avail in stores - not the same at all. I grew up in Chicago area - 35 years there, and would LOVE to have the ability to get Sliders locally...not every day or week mind you, but... yum.


Tiny hamburger time grows ever nearer for Orlando.

Construction will begin on Orlando's first branch of the famed fast-food chain White Castle – also set to be the largest free-standing White Castle in the WORLD.

The 4,567 square-foot restaurant – complete with indoor and outdoor seating and two drive-through lanes – will be located at the Village at O-Town West, a mixed-use development at the intersection of Palm and Daryl Carter parkways.

The Orlando White Castle is on track to open in 2021, adding 120 jobs to the area, as well as countless miniature sandwiches.

White Castle executives said Florida caught its attention thanks to groups like “Bring White Castle to Florida,” a Facebook page with almost 10,000 followers.

.......................................

Cravers - let's get a WC or two in The Villages! Business would be brisk with so many here with the taste for sliders...>

Bring White Castle to Florida

(BTW I also read that Portillo's is building a restaurant in the same Orlando area...)

Haven’t seen a WC in years! We had Krystal but they just weren’t quite the same.

I didn't even realize that they were still in business. Kind of like Joe and Nemo's. Haven't McDonalds, Burger King and Wendy's pretty much put them both out of business?

My cardiologist added his name early and often to that facebook page

There goes my polished figure. I could go for a couple of Double Cheeseburgers with Bacon and some Onion Rings. What Mrprez said about Krystals is on the Money. The White Castles in the Supermarket are not even close to the ones outta a fast food joint. You can count on us if they open one as long as the preparers wear masks.

I heard a rumor that big pharma, all the manufacturers of stool softeners and obstipation remedies, are vigorously working to counter any expansion of White Castle franchises.

Having lived most of my life in close proximity to Louis Lunch, and having worked at both Burger King and McDonalds, I've learned to accept that any fast-food burger might as well be any other fast-food burger.

Louis Lunch is the first hamburger joint in the country, and it still serves hundreds of people every day in a tiny brick building. The building, on the National Historic Registry, was actually moved down the block due to development of the area. They grind 5 different cuts of meat every day in the back room, all burgers are cooked to order on cast-iron grills that they installed back in 1898. It's served on white toast. You can get cheese-wiz, onion, or tomato. No ketchup, no mustard, no pickles lettuce whatever else. They will yell at you if you even ask. They're amazing.

Doc. This where I differ with you clinically. They never, ever had that effect on me and sometimes a stick of dynamite wouldn't do it.

I like me some White Castles now and again...do not support Crystal Burgers they are not the same at all. I must say if you warm up the Frozen White Castles with cheese carefully...they taste pretty good...

I have fond memories of White Castle being one of the few restaurants that people in the South end of Columbus, Ohio allowed themselves to spend money AT. dangle participle.

Woo Hooo!

Midnight run to Orlando. Whose in?

I heard that it will be located between Costco and Trader Joe’s.

According to my butcher when Costco and Trader Joes come here they will put a White Castle in the middle of both
