Death by White Castle
Call me a risk taker. Call me daring. Or just call me an idiot. Yeah, I’m a sucker for White Castle, even though I’m well aware of the inevitable after-effects of eating at this fine establishment. Usually I’ll grab a few hamburgers, few chicken sandwiches, the fried clams (No, really! They’re great!), fries, onion rings, etc. But sometimes…
Well sometimes, like today, I’ll go and there’ll be something new on the menu. And it’s either the curious part of my brain that forces me try it or my stupidity-blocking meter is broken. Anyways, I finally went to the Castle for lunch today with my buddy Jeff. We’d been talking about it for weeks and finally bit the bullet. I ordered my usual assortment of evilness and then I saw it. On the menu. The words: Surf & Turf. Huh? This is White Castle. As far from a diner or fancy restaurant as you can get. But Surf & Turf? So I hadda ask. And somehow the woman behind the counter explained something about a burger and a fish fillet, but I didn’t really get the gist of anything she said except for the word “cheese.” Since it was like $2.59 and you could put cheese on it, how could I NOT order it? So I did.
When it finally arrived like 10 minutes later, the Surf and Turf sandwich is basically a white castle Double Cheeseburger with a Fish Fillet sandwich jammed in the middle of it. So you’ve basically got a triple stack sandwich of meat, fish, meat, with lots of cheese and bread tossed in for good measure. Sounds gross? Well, I took a bite and… sadly, all I could taste was the fish. The meat’s so friggin’ thin you don’t even taste it. Quite the disappointment after such a big build-up I say. So my suggestion is save your money and just get a basic fish sandwich if that’s what you want. Have I learned my mistakes? Hell no. I’ll keep ordering weird items as long as they keep tossing ‘em on the menu. Just don’t tell my stomach…

Hi. I stumbled here ~_~
That’s definitely one of the stranger combo’s I’ve seen. And i thought putting beef and chicken on one burger was weird ^^
./pats your arteries
White Castle and Jack In The Box. Two places with an evil snack line-up. Sorry to hear that the S&T sucked - maybe their next little experiment will be a little tastier.
Tish - No need to worry. I’m still alive. And I only took 2 bites. If I ate the whole thing, or ordered another, yeah, then you should worry.
Christine - Hi! Thanks for stumblin in! And yeah it is a wacky combo. Thanks for the artery pat, they were stopped up for a minute there.
Calicobebop - You’re not related to Cowboy Bebop by chance are ya? And I have never had a Jack in the Box sadly. But you’ve peaked my interest!
Ha ha, I’ve always dreamed of going to White Castle, lol. When I was little I’d see all of the White Castle commercials and we don’t have it in Canada so I thought it was so special, lol. Now I’m thinking maybe I’m better off it without it afterall. 
Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your whole family, I hope you guys all have a warm and fuzzy day!
Christy - Wow, you’ve had some pretty crazy dreams haven’t you? Don’t most girls just dream about being princesses and stuff? Heh.
Lis - I feel your pain. And I even ate there already! So I feel your pain and my pain I guess.
Ok, that Surf and Turf looks disgusting. Sometimes I worry about you, Andrew. Now is one of those times.
