They don't keep well, but they keep coming back up as oniony burps. They're also addictive, so don't get the White Castle habit. They'll be "What You Crave!" That's White Castle's slogan.

I grew up in California. When we first visited my wife’s family in Chicago, my first request was to go to White Castle, but the impact on my intestinal system was...not good. Now we live in New Jersey, and there is a White Castle in the area. Despite the, um, side effects, I have been there. It’s tasty, but you have to count the cost when you go there.

Trump Vows To Bring Back Ohio Town’s White Castle

PERRYSBURG, OH — Promising to restore economic vitality and dignity to the struggling Rust Belt municipality, President Trump made a solemn promise Monday to bring back the town of Perrysburg, OH’s shuttered White Castle franchise. “White Castle was the lifeblood of this community, but unfortunately, during a previous presidential administration, it was closed down,” said Trump, describing the hardships faced by local families, many of whom patronized the White Castle for generations but can no longer purchase a 30-slider Crave Case without driving more than two hours round-trip to reach the chain’s Ann Arbor, MI location. “This town was built on jalapeño sliders, onion rings, and mozzarella cheese sticks, but now it’s getting screwed over by foreign companies like Taco Bell and Panda Express. Frankly, it’s a disgrace, and I’m in talks with the regional franchise manager to reopen this restaurant and make sure Ohioans have access to all the best American fast foods. Nobody should be forced to sell their home and uproot their family just to move to a town with a White Castle.” When asked about the danger to fast food jobs posed by automated burger-flipping machines, the president responded that he hasn’t looked into it yet but knows a lot about technology and believes the threat is nonexistent.

I only eat them after midnight, but ... not having the option would be terrible.

Gotta get extra lettuce and sauce on the Monster Tacos, too ... I don't know why cause I'm sure they're the same 'stuff', but the Monster's just taste much better than the 2 for $1.29 regular tacos.

And yeah, Jack's Egg Rolls with their sweet and sour sauce are actually pretty bomb, not kidding.

Sourdough Jacks are also a food group I think

Everything trump has claimed he would do to help has been much worse for them, and hurt the people even more. Everything HE claims is the opposite of the truth, and reality. P.R, farmers , coal miners all know , now.

I'm not a big fan of their tiny burgers (sliders), but their onion chips are to die for. Really. Think bite sized onion rings. Best thing in the place. There's one near my neighborhood, but we rarely stop in there.

Ordered a bowl of Chcken/ Torilla soup. Came in a huge bowl with Avacada, greens and onions as a side, tortillas on top. Looked like a three course meal. $5.

We were living in Europe when this came out and there is was titled "Harold & Kumar Get the Munchies" because I don't think there are too White Castles in Europe.

Kumar's love of/marriage to a spliff dream sequence scene still makes me laugh out loud!
