Good grief!

I've had the boxed, frozen WC cheeseburgers not the fresh kind. Not sure what
I'm missing.

Getting married at WC just seems like a new low in holy matrimony.

In the south the closest kin are burgers from Krystal. I don't see the
appeal, either. They are tiny; I don't eat a lot but it would take about 4
of them to equate to the size of, say, a single regular burger from McD's.
I'm not sure about WC but at Krystal the tiny square buns are steamed (as is
the minced onion on the burger). Just doesn't appeal to me.

Jill,

Food World Record:
Hamburgers: Krystals
103 Krystal Burgers
8 minutes/October 28, 2007
Joey Chestnut

That almost seems like more elbow work than chewing. ICK!

Not to mention it's impossible to cook a burger that's not much bigger than
a half dollar coin and as thin as a cheap mouse-pad *rare* or even medium
rare (Now I've got a craving for a nice juicy mushroom-swiss burger,
thanks a lot!)

I manned the burger machine at Burger King during summer once. The burgers
were stored in a steam cabinet to keep warm, soaking the buns in grease.
I'd stack 'em six high or something. The bottom burgers would sit in there
all day sometimes, flat as pancakes (almost. Then they were fetched,
dressed and nuked to "have it your way."

Funny, we were just talking about White Castle burgers yesterday
(there was a question on a game show) ... they have some kind of
cult following, people have them mailed to wherever they've moved.
I went to one once when they opened near me, just to see what
the deal was. Different.

That wasn't the way that you were trained, was it? Corporate policy be
damned. Andy will do it his way.

LOL!!!

No kidding!

For my "free" lunch, I'd run my double-burger patties twice through the
machine. Nice and greaseless and a crisp fresh bun, standing tall. No
toppings. I was anti-most foods at that age.

Back in the days before we learned drinking and driving was dangerous,
slyders were a 3am ritual in my group after a night in the bars. Now
I have them about once a year, usually when I'm hungover. Louise has
a clone recipe for them that tastes almost identical, but it's more
like a sloppy joe. She brought them to parties when drinking was
involved before we got together. They were always requested. Now
that I'm around my Italian beef is requested. We went to a gathering
a few weeks ago and knowing we weren't bringing the clone burgers the
host made them. I actually felt a bit sad for her attempt because my
beef was scarfed and nobody ate her clone burgers.

1. Must not have been a first time marriage for either
2. Maybe they'll baptize their first born at Krispy Kreme.

No comparison. Maybe better than frozen Whiteys.

We're not talking about hamburgers, we're talking about White Castles.

That's not quite how I recall it when I had my first job at BK. I was
just 14. I recall the only ones that were sometimes made in advance were
the hamburgers, not the Whoppers or Junior Whoppers. They could take
those hamburgers and slap a piece of cheese on 'em and nuke a second to
make into a cheeseburger.
