White Castle

White Castle is a fast food restaurant based in the United States that primarily sells small hamburgers, also known as sliders. The restaurants are known by their unique exterior, which features a medieval tower at one corner of the building. Locations are primarily clustered in the northeastern and Midwestern United States. But, even if you can’t find a White Castle restaurant in your town, you can usually find White Castle hamburgers for sale in your supermarket’s frozen food section.http://www.whitecastle.com/food/in-stores

The restaurant was prominently featured in the 2004 movie "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle", where two friends try desperately to get to White Castle after seeing a television ad for the trademark burgers.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0366551/ Kal Penn, who played Kumar in the film, was recently robbed in Washington, D.C..http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2010/04/20/white-castle-actor-kal-penn-robbed-gunpoint-washington-dc-report-says/?test=latestnews White Castle was also recently highlighted on an episode of the CBS reality TV show, "Undercover Boss".http://www.whitecastle.com/promotions/undercoverboss

The first White Castle restaurant opened in 1921 when company founder Billy Ingram used $700 to begin selling hamburgers from a shack in Wichita, Kansas. The next year, a second White Castle location was opened in El Dorado, Kansas and, by 1923, the restaurant had expanded to Nebraska.

As the American economy went through major changes, White Castle was able to remain in business by making adjustments. During food rationing in 1943, the company began selling hot dogs and eggs to make up for the lack of available meat. Frozen White Castle burgers were made available in 1950. By 1961, the restaurant had already served one billion hamburgers nationwide. The company remains family owned and operated to this day. http://www.whitecastle.com/company/timeline

Classic White Castle sliders are available with cheese, jalapenos, bacon and double hamburger patties. The menu also features chicken sandwich sliders, fish sandwich sliders, cheese fries, onion rings, chicken rings, mozzarella cheese sticks and fish nibblers.

In recent years, White Castle’s menu has expanded to include breakfast foods, such as the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich which is offered on a bun or on toast. A variety of drinks are also available, including milkshakes, hot chocolate, orange juice and soft drinks.http://www.whitecastle.com/food/menu
