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. 
The first time I had them was a road trip to Bloomington. I didn’t expect to be impressed, and yet was so disappointed.

Sometimes, especially ages 15- until death a White castle cheeseburger just hits the spot.   Of course it is a low brow burger, but w the onions and dusseldorf mustard.   Damn tasty at times.

Yeah, we all crave something that isn't GOOD, but every so often, it's what we want.  Like every 3-4 months, I just want a diet coke.  It's not good, but I want it...then I'm good for another 3-4 months.  
Other food items I get that craving for months in-between:
a Big Mac
hot dogs (usually in the summer)
grapefruit juice

There have been many a bitterly cold January evening where all I wanted was ice cream.

I also get a hankering for some fast food item once every 3-4-5 months.  I usually lie down and take a nap instead.

A lot of haute cuisine is not really good for you of course.  The French don't seem to like the letter "h".

Grapefruit juice is quite good when mixed with some Tito's.  Folks used to call this a "Greyhound" but these days if you try to order that, it might get you quizzical looks from your millennial bartender...

The wife loves caipiroskas.  We have taught several bartenders here what they are.  They all are happy to learn a new drink that is pretty easy to make.

The bad part is one can get hammered on them because they are very tasty.  If you don't know, it's basically fresh lime juice, sugar, and vodka.

Yeah, it's a take on the Brazilian original Caipirinha which is the drink above, but with cachaca instead of vodka.  And cachaca is basically Brazil's version of rum.

The cachaca I've had is oily, as if it's not well distilled.

Hmmm, you should try Leblon.  It's very clean.

Had that once, didn't like it.  I think Tito's is clean, I'm happy with it, at much lower cost than the French stuff the wife likes.

There's a "Chicago Hamburger Co" near my friend's house that I haven't tried - serving sliders.  I'll go out on a limb and say it'll be better than WC.

Opened Oct 23rd, they ran out of hamburgers and had to close at 2am that day to restock. Thought about going that Friday because my football game was right around the corner from it but it was too crowded. This Friday's game is near it so I may try again. Probably a good thing it is not near me in Chandler. I love White Castles.
