Or in the midwest (where the most stores are) or northeast. From wikipedia: "Current White Castle markets include Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Detroit, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Louisville, Lexington, Minneapolis–St. Paul, Nashville, New York, NY/New Jersey/Pennsylvania, Phoenix, and St. Louis."

I'm not embarrassed to say I've visited two in the Chicago area fairly regularly, although not in a few years.


Make no mistake though, it's barely a burger, more like a "I know it's bad for me but tastes so good" snack. Preferably at the end of a long night at the bar on the way home.
