White Castle is a touchstone of popular fast-food culture, from the top spot of Time's list of influential burgers to Harold and Kumar's hazy quest for the elusive slider.
The chain's legendary slider, first introduced in 1921, was the industry's proto-signature burger, leading the way for countless other fast-food empires to take root.
Yet we, two fast-food fanatics, had never visited this iconic chain. So, like Harold and Kumar before us, we decided to storm the Castle and see for ourselves why this chain has been named the home of most craveable burger in America by a recent survey reported by Restaurant Business.
What we found was like no other fast-food chain experience before.
