White Castle: The Golden Arches of the Midwest (But Not California)
Okay, let's talk about something really important: White Castle. No, not the fairytale castle, you dreamers. We're talking about those tiny, square burgers that have a cult following stronger than any reality TV star.
The Great White Castle Drought in California
Now, if you're a Californian dreaming of sinking your teeth into a White Castle slider, I have some bad news. Unless you're planning a cross-country road trip, your chances of finding a White Castle in the Golden State are about as good as spotting a Sasquatch in Beverly Hills.
It's a mystery, really. Why would a state known for its obsession with everything food-related deny its citizens the joy of a White Castle slider? Is it some kind of cruel joke? A test of our willpower? Or maybe California is just too busy perfecting its avocado toast to worry about tiny burgers.
The White Castle Conspiracy Theories
Some people believe there’s a grand White Castle conspiracy. Maybe the California food industry is in cahoots to keep White Castle out. Or perhaps there's a secret ingredient in those sliders that would turn all Californians into Midwesterners overnight. Honestly, it's more plausible than some Hollywood plots.
