Oh wow! I can't imagine making them at home but, then again, there is a WC about 1.5 miles from my home! All reviews that I've read about the frozen ones rank them high in quality and taste. I would not know. The kids at the community center eat frozen ones.

The frozen WC burgers aren't bad. I've never had one from the actual restaurant to compare it to though.

If you ever get to get a fresh one, make sure there is a line at the window. That way you'll know the burgers are fresh off the grill.

i absolutely cannot stomach White Castle - it's the smell I can't get over. Which is kind of funny because my absolute favorite cheese is Pont L'Eveque and it smells like old socks!

Does anyone have a Taco John's nearby? They have a dessert called "Apple Grande" which is basically an elephant ear with apple pie filling covered with cheese on top. Agreed - apple pie + cheese is really yummy!

I can't stomach White Castle, either. Literally. I get sick if I eat anything from there. Quite sick. White Castle and Taco Bell. My stomach just can't do it.

I ended up with some brie (a standby), some wonderful edam, along with Leiden - a lovely mild Dutch cheese with cumin seeds - and Drunken Goat, which is goat cheese soaked in red wine. YUM!

I LOVE White Castle, but you can't find them out west. There was a failed attempt many years ago to extend the chain out here and Californians just didn't get it.

My folks are from St. Louis, so I guess my love of WC must be genetic!

I've been known to buy the frozen ones when I have a mad craving, but nothing compares to fresh Sliders!

I would love to try the drunken goat cheese

I think Krystal hamburgers are better.

I'm with you Unk, but unfortunately the closest Krystals closed and I have to drive an hour to get to the nearest one. Sure wish I had an excuse to go to NC soon.

My roommate in college used to work for Krystals. Needless to say because of her working there, we had just about all the Krystals we could eat. It was great. Her next best job was at a pizza place and she got to bring all the pizzas that people ordered and didn't pick up and if I went in while she was working, we could score a pitcher or two of free beer.

We went to WC for the first time when we took son to college last month. The frozen ones from Costco are better.

Interesting! I had a friend who moved to where only Krystal's were available, and she said that Krystal's were OK, but WCs were better. I think she liked WC's steamed buns better. I've never had Krystal's.
