Never had a White Castle, that's an Eastern thing isn't it? Frozen WC
don't tempt me either. I may have spotted one White Castle outlet on
the trip last year, but I wasn't tempted because I knew already that
it was steamed and what they look like (gray and unappetizing).
Blech.

To be honest, I don't keep track of who owns what but UK ownership and

Butties to the American audience instead of fiddling around with our
fries!
