So there’s this Stanford professor, Patrick Brown, B.S., M.D., PHD, who decides in 2009 to take an 18-month sabbatical in 2009 to study “eliminating industrial animal agriculture” (fancy words that basically mean big time animal raising for food). He is of the school that believes the industry is doing major damage to the planet. He… Continue reading Impossible Burger Review

White Castle Frozen Fries Review – Nationwide Grocery Product
Some years ago, an “expert” told me in the future, half the products in a grocery store will be branded restaurant foods. I scoffed. Shouldn’t have, he was right. No matter your favorite fast food or casual dining choice, it’s very likely you’ll find products with their names on them in the frozen food section… Continue reading White Castle Frozen Fries Review – Nationwide Grocery Product
Krystals Waffle Fries Review
(Update, these are apparently no longer available. Potato “strips,” grits, or beans are the alternative choice to fries at present). Hit up Krystal to try one of their latest offerings, Seasoned Waffle Fries, and of course, I needed a couple sliders to ‘wash’ them down with. After decades of contemplation about it, I think I… Continue reading Krystals Waffle Fries Review
White Castle
Sliders, gut bombs, no matter what you call them, the small square burgers cooked on a bed of onions, are a distinctly American tradition. The White Castle chain was one of the first fast food establishments, started in 1921 in Wichita, Kansas. Americans were reticent to eat ground beef at the time, due to the… Continue reading White Castle
New Orleans, LA – Castleburgers
One of the 24/7 munchie palaces in New Orleans is a local chain called “Tastee Donuts.” Hardly a chain, anymore, I had a hard time finding an open location, all my usual Tastees were boarded up. In addition to delicious donut thingies, Tastee also serves “Castleburgers”, a complee schnock off of White Castles/Krystal, no different… Continue reading New Orleans, LA – Castleburgers
Taste Test – White Castle Frozen Cheeseburgers
I’ve been going to White Castle for more than 40 years. I’ve even eaten there when I have been stone cold sober. I like ’em. The “southern version’ – Krystals, I like them too. I’ve had the frozen White Castles before, never had much luck with them at home. I haven’t had them since I… Continue reading Taste Test – White Castle Frozen Cheeseburgers
Minneapolis, MN – The Original Slider
There’s a gaggle of White Castles in the Twin Cities, and the one on Lake Street is one of the original locations (altho the building has been rebuilt). I think I have a different definition of “dives” than many people. I think a place doesn’t qualify as a dive unless it’s in a neighborhood you… Continue reading Minneapolis, MN – The Original Slider
Birmingham, AL – Krystal Mini Dogs
I couldn’t pass up Krystal’s version of chili dogs, mild curiousity. For those of you not living in the South, Krystal is to Southerners what White Castle is to Northerners/ I wanted to try the Krystal “Pups” just because they were cute – diminutive versions of the chili dog, small enough to fit three… Continue reading Birmingham, AL – Krystal Mini Dogs
