According to what their PR department says, the first White Castle was in
Wichita, KS. The first ones I saw were in Columbus OH. I wan't too
impressed with the small size, but I do like them now. Three or 4 WC's equal
one normal hamburger.

BTW, note that the buns are no more than Parkerhouse rolls. Hence the size
of the pattie. I like mine with cheese and horseradish mustard.

I have yet to figure why the frozen varieties cost more than the fresh ones.
