I have tried the frozen ones but I know they are not the same as the real thing. Why oh why are there no White Castles in CA? You would think with all the people that grew up eating them back east they would make a lot of money if they opened up some out here. |
That's so funny. I heard almost the exact same things from my parents about White Castle. I finally got to try one when I was in college. A bunch of us went from Philly to Atlantic City -- on the way back to school, we stopped at White Castle. I was so psyched when went in, but it didn't live up to expectations.
My parents were depression-era folks. I think any visit to a restaurant when they were young was a huge thrill! (I guess we're reliving that - Maybe it would taste good now, lol!)
