Author Topic: White Castle Burgers? Robert E. Allen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1078 From: Checotah, Oklahoma Registered: Jul 2002 posted 06-08-2011 03:46 PM                     Are any of you managers selling White Castle burgers? If so how are they doing and what's the customer's response?  |  IP: Logged Cameron Andrews Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Rexburg, ID 83440 Registered: Apr 2009 posted 06-08-2011 05:36 PM                     I have also been looking at them. Please also tell us how you prepare them (steamer or microwave)  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues.

I should have ordered some to see what they're doing with them.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 06-08-2011 09:29 PM                        They are made 1 block from my office. If weather conditions are right, they sure smell great!

You see, if your patrons eat them at the beginning of a two hour movie, they only take just under an hour and a half to go right thru your system. They are more volatile than eating a few bars of Exlax. For stuff that is so bad for you (40% hard, saturated fat), it is simply amazing how good they taste. I don't know anyone who doesn't love them; my two nephews eat dozens of them at a sitting. Then it's off the bathroom for more sitting. But as good as they taste, your body will punish you severely in a little over and a half. Just call em White Castle's Revenge!  |  IP: Logged Mike Frese Master Film Handler Posts: 465 From: Holts Summit, MO Registered: Jun 2007 posted 06-08-2011 10:49 PM                        Steaming them is by far the preferred way to prepare them. Steam units can be had pretty cheaply online. The issue......they are pretty high priced in my opinion. Cost is approx. $.54 each from Sam's Club which is where the White Castle rep told me to get them.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 06-09-2011 12:01 AM                     We have been selling them at all our locations for over two years, everyone that gets them seem to love them. There really not that bad, I enjoyed them the one time I got them. We prepare them in an Amana oven, take a little over 30 seconds to prepare. I will say they are a little pricy, we sell them for $4 per two burgers. They come with cheese, onion, burger.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-09-2011 08:43 AM                     Columbus, OH is the home of White Castle...the Ingram family has run that business here for a long time. I think the Marcus theatres here sell them, also 2 for $4.00. That $4 would buy 6 sliders at a White Castle place ($.64 each). I make sure to do a preemptive strike by taking an antacid before eating them.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 06-09-2011 10:45 AM                        They don't call 'em "sliders" for nuttin'.

Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 07-18-2011 08:07 AM                     I used to buy a bag of TEN (10) and eat them all. That was before 2006, when I had all the fun happen to me. Krystal is still fairly big in the south. AFAIK, they are the same burger. I'd be willing to try them at the theatre. They smell so good when they are cooking!  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 07-18-2011 11:26 AM                        You either love'em or hate'em. They once ran an ad showing a guy bringing about 50 onto a jet liner. Half wanted to throw up and the other half wanted to have one.

I really like the Deli Express Char Broil Deluxe but they definitely do weird things to my insides...you don't want to be in an enclosed space with me after I've eaten one of those.  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 07-18-2011 02:38 PM                        We sell them microwaved to order at our drive-in. We don't move a ton of them, but they sell well enough given a zero waste factor and minimal storage space required.  |  IP: Logged
