Description

Septemburger 2024's most upsetting stop!

  • I'm in Las Vegas this week to hit the nearest White Castle to me with Vegas native (and host of the Visit Vegas Places podcast) Coyal Harrison and is not a good meal
  • Apparently the White Castle slider was literally created in a moment of frustration when the founder couldn't quite figure out how to do meatballs, so he squashed it, put it on a bun, and called it edible
  • The Secret Menu Mini-Game: Comedy Restaurants
  • This White Castle is attached to a casino, so the vibes are nightmarish and should never be experienced sober or in the daylight
  • What's Going On Over There with the signage that insists people refuse to live without White Castle?
  • Septemburger: The White Castle slider gets scored ahead of its match next week with the no. 1 seed Shake Shack
  • What we ate:
    • French Fries
    • Onion Chips
    • Chicken Rings
    • Mozzarella Sticks
    • Chicken Slider
    • Beef Slider
    • Chocolate Shake
  • Coyal details his worst and best restaurant experiences ever at the Calibration Station
  • "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to watch this episode!
