White Castle feat. Coyal Harrison (Visit Vegas Places Podcast)

"Fine" Dining

Septemburger 2024's most upsetting stop!

• I'm in Las Vegas this week to hit the nearest White Castle to me with Vegas native (and host of the Visit Vegas Places podcast) Coyal Harrison and is not a good meal
• Apparently the White Castle slider was literally created in a moment of frustration when the founder couldn't quite figure out how to do meatballs, so he squashed it, put it on a bun, and called it edible
• The Secret Menu Mini-Game: Comedy Restaurants
• This White Castle is attached to a casino, so the vibes are nightmarish and should never be experienced sober or in the daylight
• What's Going On Over There with the signage that insists people refuse to live without White Castle?
• Septemburger: The White Castle slider gets scored ahead of its match next week with the no. 1 seed Shake Shack
• What we ate:
  • French Fries
  • Onion Chips
  • Chicken Rings
  • Mozzarella Sticks
  • Chicken Slider
  • Beef Slider
  • Chocolate Shake
• Coyal details his worst and best restaurant experiences ever at the Calibration Station
• "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to watch this episode!

Next week on "Fine" Dining: Shake Shack. The final stop for Septemburger is the top dog, the number 1 seed, and I brought award-winning storyteller and comedian Jen Kober with me. Will they overcome White Castle, a burger so bad that the bar is on the floor? Yes. The answer is yes. Ever work at Shake Shack? Send in your stories to [e-mail]
