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. :)

I think I just gained 5 lbs. reading this.

sliders are best appreciated when the diner is intoxicated

That's what I was told. But we were the polar opposite of intoxicated when we went. Maybe that's why we didn't get sick.

I know, right?

Since I was wondering. :-)

5 sliders = 700 calories and 30 grams of fat
1 fries = 390 calories and 24 grams of fat (assuming the medium sized fries, they do come in 'saver' and 'sack' sizes too)
1 Large Coke = 420 calories

Total: 1510 calories and 54 grams of fat.

Whoo hoo!

It was Diet Coke. I'm watching my figure.
Awesome research!

I had hyped up my visit to Taco Bell, and did that today.

How can you say that about Taco Bell?! :)
I need to try Five Guys again. I had a bad experience last time.

I eagerly await tomorrow's journal entry, which will probably say things like, "My ass is on fire!"

I'll admit there was a tiny rough moment at one point... :)

I need to go somewhere with a White Castle too -- it's iconic! :o)

And what's this? No VEE-LOG about it??? @_@

Sad-grizzly is sad... ;o)

Oh man!
Right after we left, I remembered I was going to film it. Nooo! Argh.
Oh well, maybe I'll film my first Skyline Chili...

[[chuckles]] Meh... I was mostly just yankin' your chain... ;o)

I'm not a stickler for filming everything, either -- as you can tell by my recent "I'm busy LIVING my life, not blogging/vlogging about it..." lack-of-posts... ;o)

I've never heard of Skyline Chili...

I wonder if I should do a vlog entry from some of the iconic places around here? Hmmm...

One would almost think we were food-obsessed...or camera-whores...or...something. ;o)

I'll take White Castle over Jack-in-the-box, or In N Out, any day.

I love In n Out, but to be honest, I'm almost exclusely a Taco Bell guy.

Please keep us posted as to the after effect of them. They're called "sliders" here for a reason. LOL

I think I mostly dodged that bullet because we had just eaten breakfast, so I had a base.
But, there was one moment...

As you may or may not know, it was my first time.

Does this mean Mike lost his cherry at White Castle??

...THAT is deserving of a vee-log entry! ;o)

With interpretive dancing and puppets... ;o)

Or dramatic re-enactments... [[nods]]
