White Castle is to sliders what the Yankees are to  baseball so let's slide right into 10 reasons why   White Castle is so successful wildly successful  White Castle fast food Originals White Castle   is an icon in the food industry I mean they  do have a hundred years worth of experience   basically credited as being the first fast food  hamburger chain the restaurant was founded in 1921   when Billy Ingram and Walter Anderson open a small  location in Wichita Kansas the company grew slowly   at first but once it expanded into Texas the chain  quickly became a regional sensation the company   may only have hundreds of locations compared  to the thousands of mcds and DK restaurants   but the distinct Castle design of each outlet is  recognizable all over the globe the first fast   food Burger was created by White Castle and has  since then become extremely famous even with the   slider becoming an immediate smash White Castle's  Innovations have continued over the years the fast   food chain was is responsible for coming up with  new ways to prepare assemble and package burgers   in order to maintain its position as the finest  slider in the industry like Castle chefs in Ohio   changed their traditional round Burger in 1949 to  a flat Square Patty with holes at the request of a   brief letter placed in the restaurant's suggestion  box the slider is still a staple but what goes   into them is still important today for example  in 1965 White Castle restaurants decided to use   only vegetable oil more recently White Castle  introduced The Impossible slider a vegan slider   that is just as tasty as the original the slider  is therefore a product of its period especially   for long time lovers who are accustomed to its  shape and flavor masters of the juicy burger when   it comes to hamburgers some are definitely better  than others this is true of both the traditional   kind which can be dry and The Gourmet variety  which can be expensive and hard to find but   there's another way to make a great hamburger  with a juicier Patty the juiciest burgers are   those that use meat that's been ground slightly  finer and is smashed into a thin Patty which will   yield a juicier and more flavorful result every  fast food chain has its own top secret procedures   and White Castle is no exception White Castle the  forerunners of the fast food Burger was the first   to devise novel strategies to seal those fatty  Rich liquids inside the patties the trick in order   to seal in flavor and keep the beef soft and juicy  White Castle flattens the patties until adequately   thin before searing the meat on both sides in  fact this tactic is so effective that other fast   food chains have replicated it throughout the  years White Castle though was undoubtedly onto   something if imitation is the sincerest form of  flattery White Castle perfected a more consistent   technique that no longer required searing while  other restaurants were still preparing hand-shaped   individually cooked Burgers although they continue  to employ the smaller slider patties every White   Castle slider is still universally acclaimed as  a juicy burger they punch holes in their burgers what happens when a White Castle burger smashes  against the underside of a sizzling hot Grill   well it turns out the result is a delectable  burger patty that is both juicy and crisp but   the secret is that the Patty actually rests  atop some onions and has five little secrets   that set it apart from other burgers ever Ponder  the significance of the square shape and unusual   five-hole design of the White Castle sliders  the dice-like punch out in the renowned fast   food sandwich are completely on purpose just like  everything else in it why mention them it's just   basic physics the perforations in the burgers  enable the steam to pass through them allowing   them to cook even more quickly since greater  surface area equals more room for the Patty   to absorb heat they are a Cornerstone of White  Castle's commitment to provide guests with fresh   Burgers as soon as humanly possible a square  form on the other hand is only more effective   you can fit a lot more on the grill and not have  to worry about wasting any space if the sliders   can be arranged in a grid-like Arrangement  because of this several fast food chains   have switched to square patties which enables  their employees to prepare more patties even   faster but White Castles five characteristic  holes remain it's one distinguishing feature   Burgers cooked on a bed of onions onions onions  steamed onions are a staple food often found on   many different dishes they have a complex flavor  profile that is often loved by diners everywhere   onions are both sweet and savory and have a  wonderful Aroma but they also carry a pungent   flavor this combination of sweet and pungent is  commonly said to enhance the flavor of the food   they accompany while pungent is used as a term of  endearment to describe foods with a strong onion   odor White Castle gained notoriety for their  technique of scorching burgers that are thin   on both sides but when other Burger businesses  replicated it White Castle has since changed the   way they prepare their burgers actually they  choose to steam cook the burgers on a bed of   onions rather than flipping the patties this  is more efficient for a number of factors one   benefit is not risking dense and Distortion when  employees flip the burgers they also cook much   quicker and can be left for extended periods of  time however the bed of onions does a better job   than anything else at injecting flavor into the  meat onions sweat off a tremendous quantity of   moisture in the form of Steam while they cook this  explains why sauteed onions taste so wonderful why   Castle sliders are more tasty from the inside  out because when the onions from a bed beneath   the slider Patty cook the flavorful steam Rises  right into the burger itself they use real cheese cheese a staple of a good sandwich an essential  seasoning for pasta a delicious and versatile   food that has been enjoyed around the world for  centuries but what is cheese really it's a complex   substance made up of milk proteins milk fat milk  sugar and other Dairy components most fast food   Burger chains are guilty of using cheap processed  cheese on their burgers which although May taste   fine definitely detracts from the overall quality  of their food White Castle uses only real American   cheese and it's added to the Burgers just before  they're done grilling however there isn't really   a restriction on what they may call genuine  cheese however the ingredient list for the cheese   at White Castle isn't overly long and it clearly  has the flavor of real minimally processed cheese   that can be found at a grocery store additionally  White Castle adds artificial color to the cheese   to give it a consistent Brilliant Orange glow a  technique that fast food restaurants frequently   employ but when talking about their Frozen  grocery store Burgers White Castle actually   calls their cheese a log of cheese which might  not be the most appetizing image in a market   where the cheese can make or break a fast food  Burger White Castle sliders succeed despite its   semi-processed label and enhanced color they  use cheap but delicious toppings delicious   onions are one of the world's first cultivated  plants dating back to prehistoric times but in   the last few decades onions have truly become a  staple in most of American diets they're sweet   and mild and are often used in sandwiches and  other Foods when it comes to fast food burgers   and onions no company is more famous for the  combo than White Castle recall the onions that   White Castle uses to steam its patties they  aren't quite chopped onions like you might   find at home though for the burgers made on site  and the pre-made version of the sliders sold in   grocery stores White Castle substitutes dried  onions which they then rehydrate before serving   while Factory dehydrated onions May lessen the  freshness of White Castle sliders they allow for   the fun-sized burgers to be prepared quickly and  cheap making them that much more affordable for   customers as a result White Castle is able to  replicate its burgers in the freezer Department   of supermarkets all around America increasing  the number of individuals who can have their   burgers even if they don't live near a White  Castle the ultra concentrated Taste of the   dried onions nevertheless produces a slider that  is recognizable as being full of White Castle   flavor even if the end product may be slightly  less top-notch than a burger full of Farm to   Table ingredients White Castle bakes their own  buns buns Sun fresh baked buns are a delicious   way to start off any Burger but what makes these  so unique is that White Castle's buns are made   by their own brand the secret lies in the use of  the right combination of ingredients and the use   of all natural ingredients when possible when it  comes to using outside bun providers White Castle   doesn't take any shortcuts the well-known company  has a few smaller bakeries from which fresh buns   are delivered to restaurants and Warehouse  locations the buns are prepared in batches   sent whole and then split in two when they arrive  at their destination to prevent these soft fresh   breads inside from drying up and becoming stale  the restaurant saves the slicing until last these   buns are steamed with the burgers making them  equally as flavorful and tender as the slider   patties before the the top bun connects to keep  it all together they're then piled in a certain   order when the consumer receives the entire slider  it can be handled in just one hand and won't break   apart since the buns are exactly proportioned  to match the little Burgers another element   that makes White Castle sliders very snackable  and convenient White Castle Frozen sliders they   were sliders while sliders are delectable and  so easy to eat each little sandwich contains   a lot of Science and creativity because of this  even the slider is found in the frozen section   of the grocery store are made to the same high  standards of quality and familiar White Castle   flavor with the exception of one significant  change the pre-cooked and Frozen burgers are   recognizable as being tasty and practically  identical to those in White Castle's physical   Outlets those packaged Frozen sliders only exclude  the pickle why would you emit something so salty   and crunchy unfortunately after being heated  in the microwave pickles away has come out   awful food experts have figured out how to modify  other popular foods for microwave cooking but the   pickle is still a mystery because of this White  Castle's Tasting Kitchen has decided to remove   the pickles out of grocery store Sliders in order  to create good and tasty frozen sliders customers   can always just add a pickle to their meal at  home after the slider has been microwaved if   they feel that it absolutely needs one they own  all of their locations location location location since White Castle won't franchise its restaurants  in the U.S the same corporate structure is solely   responsible for overseeing each individual White  Castle site as a result every American White   Castle locations food production is personally  supervised by officials of the company thus   increasing the level of standardization of the  sliders fast food isn't just widely consumed   because it's cheap and accessible because the  clients are reminded of their Memories by The   Familiar flavors and sites White Castle burgers  are also a great road trip snack customers are   eating Cuisine that is not just comparable to  other locations the food is identical at a White   Castle restaurant in Ohio and one in New York City  as a result a White Castle sliders are a common   delicacy Nationwide that don't vary in flavor  the grocery stores carry them too and the flavor   is even consistent there as a result each slider  continues to be as delectable as the last one high   in fat but extra tasty for just over a century  White Castle sliders have been synonymous with   cheap fast food a single Patty dressed with cheese  and onions served on a small square bun has since   its launch in 1921 grown into a global brand with  nearly 2 000 locations across the country burgers   are one of the most popular foods in the world  they're simple delightful and can be prepared in a   variety of different ways they're also high in fat  which is why they're often considered an unhealthy   food option however some hamburgers have a fairly  low fat content which can make them dry and not so   flavorful so there's a lot of room for improvement  each White Castle slider has exactly seven grams   of fat and is intended to be consumed three to  four at a time for a total of 21 to 28 grams of   fat per meal when compared to other iconic fast  food items like the McDonald's hamburger which   is just nine grams of fat for the entire Burger  it is a sizable difference why Castle sliders   May may not be the healthiest daily option as a  result but the fatty Patty has a decadent flavor   that just cannot be matched by leaner Burgers an  easy solution might be to keep yourself to just   one slider but in reality is that really possible  however if you're prepared to
