#Flashback Friday : White Castle (Frozen Food)

I was born in NYC and grew up eating a lot of White Castle burgers. I remember my mom taking me to the restaurants. When I left NYC and moved to WNY (Lockport, NY) I was so devastated. I had to leave everything I knew and loved behind. Imagine my dismay when I found out there were no White Castle restaurants around.

I don't remember exactly what year this happened but I was so happy when I saw white castle burgers in the frozen food section. I saw them for the first time while food shopping with my mom at Aldi. Immediately I grabbed at least five boxes with cheese. I had to grab a couple of boxes with no cheese for my brother. The concept is perfect. Pop them in the microwave for sixty seconds and you have a hot and ready white castle burger. All was well with that simplicity until one day the microwave stops working and we have to throw it away. My mom told me to just make them in the oven and the rest is history. I started to actually enjoy them better this way. I'd put them in a frying pan and cover them with a lid for about 10 minutes. The burgers would come out a little bit on the crisp side with that cheese just oozing out. Perfect!! And yes I ate all six burgers in one sitting. I do have to say that I've eaten white castle so much over the years that I've been on a break for about almost a year now lol. Check out the #Throwback pic of me down below with the big box of white castle burgers.
