Germantown, Ohio (pt 1)

For next week, I'll be in Germantown, Ohio, Mark's childhood home.

Yesterday, I met both of Mark's parents and saw a lot of places from his past. Good-ish times.

Had brekkie at Bob Evans. I ordered biscuits and gravy, having no idea how much gravy that entailed. Whee!

So far, everyone has been very nice and pleasant, beer at Laffs is $1.25, everything in town is walking distance and Mark's sister's house is the size of a hotel.

Several people have asked me if this is my first time visiting the Midwest. It is!

Road trip to Old Man's cave today. Will we stop by White Castle? I hope so.

Mike goes to White Castle

Mark and I went to White Castle today. As you may or may not know, it was my first time.

We had just eaten breakfast about an hour before, but THERE IT WAS. I had to go right then.

We ordered the 10-pack "Big Crave". It came with 2 sodas and 2 orders of fries. (Fun Fact: "White Castle Fries Only Come in One Size" - The Beastie Boys)

Observations:

- The sliders taste a lot like the microwave ones.
- They weren't nearly as greasy as I had been warned.
- I thought the restaurant would be gross and tacky, but it was modern and pleasant.
- The fries were really, really good. I was not expecting that.

I vacuumed up all of my food. Mark saved two sliders for later.

It was a big moment for me, and I'm so grateful that I was able to experience it, but I have a confession to make:

I kind of never need to go there ever again. :)
