A Serious Eats Look at Midtown’s White Castle
Considering its track record, I don’t know if you would want your first White Castle experience to be at the Midtown location on 8th Ave. btw. 36+37th… but that’s exactly where Robyn Lee from A Hamburger Today enjoyed her very first White Castle slider (and order of chicken rings!) last week. In true Serious Eats fashion the post includes cross sections of everything they tried, and the photos are pretty amazing looking (a testament to her photography, considering how gross White Castle looks in person.) In other words, if you’ve never been to White Castle and are considering the Midtown location as your first forray- don’t be fooled by the photos. You might want to read what she wrote instead.

I agree with NoPickles. WC has no place in the midst of a hamburger review. That’s like including Taco Bell in a review of mexican restaurants or the Olive Garden in a review of italian restaurants. They just don’t belong.
However, that doesn’t detract from what those restaurants offer; tasty, well engineered food, where you get what you pay for :)

Oh sure, when you put it like that. :)
A fair review. Some White Castles in the Midwest have a thing called “onion chips”, which are the best item on the menu. I have not seen them on the East Coast. By the way, if you visit Whitecastle.com, you can print a coupon for a free hamburger. Not sure if they are being honored at the Mahnattan branch.
