Mike goes to White Castle

[goodolmike]

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. :)

See? Jack in the box tacos :)

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

Precisely.

When you visit out here, we are SO going.

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, yes!

[putzmeisterbear.livejournal.com]

I think I just gained 5 lbs. reading this.

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I gained 10...

sliders are best appreciated when the diner is intoxicated

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

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

And sanity prevails! :)

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

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!

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

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

[joncub.livejournal.com]

you finally made it!

sorry it wasn't the be all end all for ya, though!

I'm gonna try five guys and quiznos one more time before calling it quits on america for another year...

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

meh.

:o)

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

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

[sultmhoor.livejournal.com]

You didn't get the chicken sphinceters?!

No, you DO have to go again.

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

I was told the fish there was good. Ew.

[cpj.livejournal.com]

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

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

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

Whee!

[huxbear.livejournal.com]

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)

::tummyrubs::

Re: Whee!

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

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...

Re: Whee!

[huxbear.livejournal.com]

[[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)

[rckdjbear.livejournal.com]

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

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

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

[ironranger1.livejournal.com]

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

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

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

[andybr.livejournal.com]

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

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

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

Oh that? No that was at a Burger King. :)

Now...

[huxbear.livejournal.com]

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

With interpretive dancing and puppets... ;o)

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