@toddchiles4272 7 месяцев назад

I have lived in both regions for a quite awhile at one time or another. I actually get cravings for white castle when in the south. White castle does give really bad gas and intestinal issues due to the onions but they are addictive. Krystal never fulfilled the crave. Kinda tells ya something you wanna go back after the worse case of gas ever.

Yep my uncle who lived in Alabama who would come to visit in st.Louis would demand we stop and get White Castle as soon as we picked him up then when we would drop him off at the airport.

Bowling Green KY has both Krystal and White Castle. They also have both Raising Cane's and Zaxby's.

We had a Krystal in Henderson until about the late 1990s, and then it went out of business. It was where the Tumbleweed is now. Me and my family never did eat there for whatever reason, so I don’t know anything much about that chain. The nearest Whitecastle to us is in Evansville, IN across the Ohio river.

I was born in Atlanta Georgia and ate Krystals. They felt different from eating at McDonald's or any other burger place because of their sandwiches.

I live in Mississippi so I know more about Krystal (in fact I did a study of the company for a college course a long, long time ago). I have however been to Illinois on several occasions where I have had White Castles. To me the only difference between them was that WC puts five holes in the beef patty to let the onion essence go up into the bun. Krystal does not do this -- they mostly handle that through covering the burgers while cooking. I like this good report, but I must make one correction. In my study back then I talked to Krystal HQ and they confirmed that it was geographical in how the two chains divided the country. However I was told by Krystal that it is not a "handshake agreement," but it actually a written agreement that the Ingrams and Davenport made back in the 30s.

I guess it's a case of "you want what you ain't got." I grew up on White Castles living in Indiana as a child. In my teens I had a Krystal for the first time and thought they were the greatest thing EVER! Then, in my late 20's I moved to East Tennessee. Krystals are everywhere, but the nearest White Castle is an hour and a half drive away. Now I want nothing more than to have access to a fresh steamy bag of White Castles! To be honest, I love them both, but my loyalties lie with White Castle.

I grew up with White Castle for 20 years and then spent the last 20+ in the south with Krystal. While similar, they're very different. I won't complain about either, but have grown to prefer Krystal. Krystal has a little more of a mini burger feel while White Castle is definitely its own thing. I think it's the onions and the buns. White Castle's bun is unique while the Krystal is a little more like a regular bun. Hard to describe. Also, I think the onions are more center stage with White Castle. It could be the mustard in the Krystal though standing out for me. I'm a mustard fan having been a Chicago native, so maybe that drew my bias ironically enough lol. One menu item I haven't seen at White Castle that Krystal has are the Pups. They're mini hotdogs and the chili cheese one is fire. At the end of the day, you get used to one or the other so the initial shock of having the other is "this sucks". Once you appreciate them, they're both good in their own way.

@excavatoree 7 месяцев назад

I've only had White Castle once, but I generally agree with your descriptions. When I was a kid in the 70s, Krystal was a lot better. They've gone downhill.

@funkyfindlay13 7 месяцев назад

I’m a Florida kid, so definitely raised on Krystal. Moved to St. Louis in the late 90s and was happy to finally try White Castle. Krystal remains my preferred by a hair. To me they both share a “mystique” that stands out. Something about their oddness. Now, Living back in Florida, I do make a point to hit up a White Castle whenever I’m north of Tennessee, if I come across one, particularly after drinking. I can remember in the 80s that Krystal had a full-sized burger in their menu for a few years. I thought it was terrific too.

@MitchMitch77-77 7 месяцев назад

That is probably the biggest difference between the two. I think when I was younger I liked Krystal, but now a days I like White Castle.

As someone that grew up in the Midwest and moved to Louisiana, the similarity in the burgers is visual only. The closest you can get to a White Castle burger here is the frozen White Castle burgers at the grocery store. I don't know why they taste so different (even without mustard), but they do.

@excavatoree 7 месяцев назад

The biggest difference I've seen is that the onions at White Castle are in rings or pieces. They are grilled with the burger. The onions on Krystals are finely diced and seem to be steamed with the burgers. Krystal burgers get sort of a grey appearance because they are steamed, while White Castles are grilled.

@leroyproud294 7 месяцев назад

Krystal uses a somewhat larger bun.

@BasedEngineer 7 месяцев назад

@richegenriether8161 7 месяцев назад

The way they're cooked might make a difference. White Castle slyder patties have holes punched in them so they cook through without flipping. Krystals are whole and are flipped before the buns are set on them. White Castles also have a layer of onion on the grill before placing the patties, while Krystals have onions layered over the patties. There's also a difference with their bun recipes The Palace buns are baked darker, while Krystals are lighter in color fell a little doughier on the palette. Both chains use rehydrated onion.

I had the opportunity to try Krystals during a visit to FL in the late 90's. The only difference I could see was their use of mustard instead of ketchup, and that made all the difference! I love White Castle, still crave it from time to time. I would never eat at a Krystals ever again. My curiosity was sated by my one and only visit.

@machetedonttweet1343 7 месяцев назад

I'm from NYC so I have watched White Castle grow since I was a Kid. when I was 8 the burgers were 10 cents, each and the advertising was that garbage cans in the area would be stuffed with White Castle bags and boxes to say nothing of them littering the sidewalks. When I was in the Army I was stationed in the South and introduced to Krystals who screwed up a perfectly good White Castle hamburger by putting mustard on it but I bought 10-20 at a time so had no problem having them made without it and Krystal's buns are dryer. Not enough steaming I guess.

@SSobotkaJr 7 месяцев назад

I'm pretty much one of those people that lived most of my life in the South, so White Castle wasn't really known to me. However, Krystal WAS a staple of my childhood, as it was a cheaper option for a family meal even back in the 70s and 80s. In particular, during the times my family lived out of state (Dad was in the Air Force), and we often took annual road trips to visit family in Tampa. During the start of the return trip home, Dad would always stop at a Krystal that was on Kennedy Blvd. -- right before the 1-275 interchange -- and buy two big bags of Krystal sliders, fries and we'd eat that on our way out of Florida. I have had the chance to eat White Castle, and I'll be fair they are good, but Krystal has in my opinion the better flavor profile, since mustard does add to the current additions of onions and pickles. If I had to pick between the two, Krystal just wins over White Castle for me.

I even went there two or three weeks after the opening, thinking that things would’ve died down by now, but it still took me a good hour to get through the drive-through.

The guy who started Krystal worked for White Castle & he left to compete with them. They both exist in Kentucky. In Bowling Green Kentucky (the square hamburger capital) there is a White Castle with a Krystal across the street and a Wendy's next door. I used to work there and been to all 3. PoFolks was awesome it was a sit down restaurant similar to Bob Evans but focused on dinner not breakfast. White Castles and Krystals taste VERY different. We have a TON of White Castles here in Indiana & there is a corporate office for something here in Indianapolis in the Fountain Square area.

I am now 72 and was raised in the south and we grew up with Krystal burgers and they were great back then, but recently I traveled back to the Huntsville Alabama area and tried them and they were not near the same. I gave them another chance in another location and it was even worse. I am retired Army and travel all over the US and tried White castle many times in many locations and never had a bad burger. Now I live in the Philippines and they sell frozen White Castle here and they are great also. Just like you mentioned Krystal puts mustard and I add mustard to my White Castle eat the whole box. Nice video and you were pretty much right on, and I think what happened to Krystal is the franchising, where White Castle kept more control.

@shannonkohl68 7 месяцев назад

Personally I find that most fast food places in the US lack the quality they had back in the 70's and 80's. IMO it is due in part to hiring cooks who weren't raised on that food, and therefore don't know if it tastes "off". That and corporate greed probably causing them to not change oil as much, cheaper ingredients, not care about maintaining standards, etc.

I've eaten both many times. My favorite by far is Krystal. When they're done right, so that the underside of the top bun where it meets the meat is a little gooey, the Krystal sliders are a little something special. The Krystal bun has a little sweetness to it compared to the blander White Castle buns. I like White Castle's little burgers which are similar and good but they are dryer and the yellow mustard on the Krystal sliders is a home run for me.

I went to the most sketchy White Castle in Toledo Ohio once. The whole counter was behind bullet proof glass. To get the food they opened a door, placed the food in a box, closed the door and then pressed a release so you can open a door to the box and get the food. And this was in 2007, I can understand that kinda thing in a post C19 world, so it must have been a rough area to need it back then.

@BoratWanksta 7 месяцев назад

Chicago has a few White Castle locations on the west and south side, where you have to order your food through a bulletproof glass window. It isn't only in Toledo, where WC built a location like that. I vaguely remember the former White Castle near Cermak and State(just west of McCormick Place convention hall) used to be a bulletproof glass ordering window location, along with a drive thru. To my surprise WC replaced this location with a MUCH nicer building that has no bulletproof windows inside, and even has numerous indoor dining booths and seats. For a few years White Castle tested the 1921 Slider at this location, and only last year did they finally start to sell the 1921 slider at all locations.

I have had both, you can find both in London KY (off separate exits). I grew up on white castles in Louisville KY but now I often visit London for family. 9 years ago was the first time I have ever had Krystals and I am in a minority on this but I prefer it for a couple of reasons. First, Krystals is way less greasy and I prefer mustard on my hamburger anyway, second is that Krystals serve mini-chili dogs, much like Skyline chili (Louisville franchise) with a similar chili taste (skyline is better). White Castles is one of those places you crave, eat it, regret it the next day, swear you will never eat it again. Forget about the pain you went through and the toilet you punished, then the crave hits you again one day and do it all over again....

Grew up in Orlando with Krystals, while my dad grew up in New Jersey with White Castles so we’d go there when we visited family up north. As of a couple years ago White Castles opened up in Orlando, Florida, too, and is far superior based on overall quality and service by a long shot. Krystals always had the reputation of being poorly run and incredibly inconsistent though I still liked them on a good day. The secret is to ask them to steam your burgers for a softer, melty-er cheese slider, however, the standard since inception at White Castles is to steam their burgers over heaps of small-diced onions. At Krystals you can also ask for your sliders “off the grill” if you don’t care for pickles and mustard for a significantly better chance of getting your sliders made correctly. In conclusion, if you hate onions, the off-balanced bread-to-meat ratio, or generally have a sensitive gut for greasy foods, you likely won’t care for either. Both are responsible for saving lives after a long, drunken evening of buffoonery downtown.
