Today I experienced a staple of the fast food scene in the Southeast-Krystal Burger.
The chain was originally founded in 1932 in Chatanooga, TN. The gimmick is basically to serve really tiny burgers on really tiny buns. They do it now with chicken too. Many of you in the Northeast may be familiar with White Castle burgers. The two chains seem to have a North vs. South rivalry going on, even though I’m not sure if White Castle really exists anymore.
I got a classic combo which included four tiny burgers, fries and a drink. The branch we were in had Wi-Fi access too. Such a trip. Apparently, Krystal Burger is a late-night hangout-a magnet for drunk people who need cheap grub.
Not sure if I would eat it again, but I’m glad I at least tried a piece of pop culture.
Believe it or not there is still a White Castle here in Miami not neccessarily in the best part of town but it’s here
YOu can find White Castle minis in the frozen section of the local grocery stores here in Central Cal!
