White Castle has its own take on fast food hamburgers. For starters, the patties are square, with five holes in each patty. And they’re small, too –- two-and-a-half inch sliders. Just big enough to fit into the palm of your hand. And since they’re steamed on a bed of onions, everything is infused with this
Excellent listen throughout, but you can skip to 17:30 for competition with McDonalds.
It’s definitely not the way it used to be. I wonder what’s up with that.
There’s a distinctive flavor difference when McD’s food gets cold. With most food, it just tastes like the same food except it’s cold; but with McDonald’s, it goes from smelling appetizing and tasting decent to smelling horrible and tasting worse. The thing I have noticed is that, in the past decade or so, that window of flavor has gone from a gradient to a really stark dividing line, about 20-30 minutes after the food is cooked.
Actually, in the second edition, Schlosser added an epilogue talking about how much things had changed in a positive direction in the decade or so since he published the original. So if anything, I think the downturn in quality is probably due to the removal of the artificial stuff. Maybe it’s just proving that they never used good ingredients to begin with.
Yeah but white castle tastes like a jock strap that seven NFL players used for a season each without washing.
Toss me that jock strap, then, I’m about to get to lickin
I take it you don’t like onions.
Not in the capacity they use them lol.

Oh no McDonald’s definitely isn’t great, but I’ll take a McDouble any day over White Castle
Agreed. McDonald’s sucks but I literally throw up about 1/3 of the time I have White Castle and it doesn’t even taste good.

It’s not about the taste, it’s about the texture.
