> Unless you created and own the White Castle chain, I fail to see why you would. I also can't figure out why a guy from Texas, famous worldwide for its hardcore steakhouses and barbecue places and so forth would admit to liking a place that serves the lowest grade ground beef the FDA will permit to be sold, and precious little of it per burger at that.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I love living in Texas. But I'm not from here. I'm from Cincinnati, OH. Actually, a little suburb called Sharonville. And, if you want to talk about where I grew up then I did most of that in Birmingham, AL. However, I live in Texas now and have enjoyed the "harcore steakhouses" many times. And it is true that you can't get a steak anywhere near as good anywhere else I've been. As for barbecue? Well, Birmingham was better. If you're there, or in Tuscaloosa, try Dreamland Barbecue. Awesome.

But that is beside the point, really. Where I'm from doesn't really matter. Perhaps my sarcasm in the use of the phrase "great offense" wasn't quite as evident as I had hoped. I just meant to say that I love those little burgers. And while the beef may not be USDA Prime, neither is most of the beef you consume from fast food places. And, while I can understand you not liking the place, I just think it wouldn't rank as "the worst fast food place ever" with you had your experience been a bit different. But then again, maybe it would. I just happen to like it.
