Minnesota is definitely the top school that will let you put an oar on your helmet.

Any job even slightly better than that would say no way.

Oh, and "Krystal" is the SE's White Castle, iirc. Hard to imagine a worse burger than White Castle, but a knock off chain thereof would certainly qualify as a strong contender.
Krystal and White Castle aren't "burgers" in any sense of comparison to other fast food burger joints. 

I'm not sure what you'd classify those little pucks of grease, of course, if you don't call them a burger. But they're a unique food item all unto themselves, not a "burger".

I've never been able to take more than one bite out of a White Castle slider.

Tried once as a kid, took a nibble, spit it out and refused to eat another morsel.

Tried again as an adult, with a beer buzz, and still spat out the initial bite, and refused to go any further.

They are like miniature versions of the "Barth Burgers" from You Can't Do That on Television.

Krystal is different from WC in that they do serve "regular burgers" now.  They aren't anything special at all though.

There is zero reason to dine there.

Waffle House is "interesting", scattered, smothered, diced, sliced ...

Waffle House is the only eatery within walking distance for me, if my wheels are unavailable for whatever reason.

For a while the W was burnt out on their sign, and it saif "Affle House" which was poetic.

We had a bad ice storm when I was a kid.  Our subdivision was shut down with downed pine trees for 6 days, not electricity.  We walked to the Waffle House for every meal.

A neighbor lost 120 pine trees in that storm.  It looked like a war zone.  I was awake all night listening to trees snap from the ice load.  They made a horrific noise.

Too bad the "aff" didn't also burn out.  Then it would have been a fancy french ristorante:  Le House!

Yeah, Krystal is bogus.  80% bread with a grey meat square in the middle.  People eat 5-6-10 of them.  They'd actually be good for 3rd-world countries - just a bunch of calories.

Decent fries, though.  Crinkle-cut is my jam (not that I've had a fry in over 4 months now...)

White Castle is terrible.  When folks told me Krystal was a knock-off, I knew I needn't bother trying it.

In other news, the Formula 1 US Grand Prix was a lot of fun, as always.

It's actually fairly easy to make your own sliders. Dice an onion and put in skillet. Then put patties over the onions and cover so they steam in the onion juice. Once they are close to done put the buns on top and cover again to steam the buns. One skillet sliders.

That's why FEMA uses Waffle House to scale a disaster.

There's a White Castle right on the strip in Vegas. On a Vegas visit, I took the wife there for a snack to experience its glory, because being a native Californian she'd never had the pleasure...

She was not impressed. Which is another way of saying she was thoroughly disgusted. But now she knows what she's missing lol...
