its an english muffin with REAL eggs NOT egg beaters, and sausage & cheese. really good! better than burger king or mcdonalds breakfast IMHO.
Only ate at White Castle once, and if I have my way it will be the only time. I was drunk and still thought it was gross.
Well, Twin Cities and them specifically the Blaine, MN White Castle has them.
ROOOOOOOOOOKIE. :)
ooooh. my son in law is from there and he and my daughter are leaving in the morning for his grandmothers funeral.
maybe i can get them to score me a few.
thanks.
Basic Whataburgers are the best of the fast food lot!
The buns are 5"; the patties are 1/4-lb'ers, but "double-meat" is a regular menu item; the meat is extra-seasoned, with lots of black pepper, and what tastes like a rub of powdered onion, garlic, Worcestershire, bouillon, but probably isn't; the standard dressing is mustard, which mingles deliciously with the seasonings, the beef juices and the freshest, sweetest chopped onions and chopped lettuce (I love that!) and the pickle juice - it's almost dressed like a hamburger sub! Tomato-lovers get three fat, fresh slices (I don't eat those myself, but I've seen them, of course.)
Whataburger and I were born 11 months apart in the same place (I'm older and had to be without them for almost a year, plus the bottle and baby food years following).
Whataburger's what all burgers really ought to be.
Not familiar with Schoop's, but if it tastes like what I described, then it must be good!
(And I didn't even mention the hickory-smoked bacon and American cheese Whataburger, which is what I order. It's also a standard menu item. I was afraid some FReaders might pop an artery. As always, jalapeno slices on request.)
Whataburger's Texan by birth--what is Schoop's?
I a related story Dave Thomas founder of Wendy's got his square burger idea from a burger place in Knoxville called the Blue Circle. Some accounts say Krystal but it was actually a Blue Circle. Dave worked at what was then the Regas's Restaurant which was at that time the highest class restaurant in Knoxville and was owned by the Regas Brothers.
That is where Dave learned much of his stuff. He learned the resturant business from them and applied it to the Blue Circle/Krystal concept of fast food. He would stop in the Blue Circle either before or after work. Blue Circle was gone by the early 1970's and was strictly a local company. They were much better than Krystals actually until the owners sold out a few years before they closed down.
Most have bad endings I'll bet...
Yikes I left out Harlan Sanders trained him also.
