Title: Photo TR: Trip to Seaside and White Castle!
Post by: ChuckR on January 07, 2007, 10:10:44 PM
Well, I was bored and it was so nice out yesterday that I went over to Seaside and it was mobbed. I also got some White Castle which was amazing!

No, the skyscrapers arm has been taken off! Nah, probably seasonal maintenance!

This kid had to be 12 years old and was smoking a cigarette. I must of heard every curse word coming out of his mouth, Ian wanted to punch him.

Then afterwards, I had a taste of heaven! White Castle!

Excellent, Chuck.

Now, if you like White Castle, we just got to get you to Krystal.  Krystal is what White Castle would like to be when it grows up! :)

As much as I like White Castle ( see my avatar)  I finally made it here for a real little burger.

If that were my kid I would kick his well you know. I don't get it where are the parents?? My kids at 15 and 11 know better especially out in public where other see and hear you . Not that I allow it at home but ahhh . Kids these days.

Other then the rude kids I haven't been to seaside in at least 3 years or more is it as bad as it was then or has it gotten any better even during the off season it wasn't what it was lets say 10 -15 years ago.

I was too distractred by those striped pants (or pajama botoms?) to notice.  Besides smoking, I wouldn't let my kid out the door wearing those either!  Seriously though, even what I would consider long time smokers would smack that kid.  Not only is he to young to be starting such a habit and old enough to know better but he is doing so right in front of a pregnant woman!  Geez, nobody shows any respect anymore.

Gees Chuck, you guys were a couple of blocks down from my store and you didn't even stop in to say hello??!! I am dissapointed with you! :p  As for the smoking kid, heh, I can't even begin to tell you how many under aged kids try to buy cigs from us. I can tell you the door swings quite well from all the mad kids shoving it open as they leave with no cigs, muah ha ha!

When you gett off the exit from the parkway...heading to heights its on your left.

I don't recall the real location, but I ate there after dropping off my friend in Seaside this summer when we were going to LBI.

Nice TR, Chuck!  Like GADVwow said, you should try Krystal if you come across it in your travels.  It's the same as White Castle except they use mustard instead of ketchup.  Personally, I like the taste of White Castle better, but Krystal is good too.

Thanx for the directions.

No wonder i've never seen it, every time i've left seaside it was at 5:30am or later and i was soo sleepy i didn't think to look there.
Title: Re: Photo TR: Trip to Seaside and White Castle!
Post by: ChuckR on January 10, 2007, 06:52:27 PM
Mustard=No good for me!

But, I will definitely try it out if I see one. Unless, there is a Sonics right across the street.
Title: Re: Photo TR: Trip to Seaside and White Castle!
Post by: GADVwow on January 10, 2007, 07:12:19 PM
Chuck, they will happily leave off the mustard if you like.  And it's the yellow kind, not the spicy German mustard in the packages at White Castle.

Krystal burgers come with mustard, ketchup and pickle.  Best of all is the BA burger, which is made of black angus beef, and tastes like Whoppers tasted like when I was a boy, lo those many moons ago.
Title: Re: Photo TR: Trip to Seaside and White Castle!
Post by: coastersue on January 10, 2007, 07:36:47 PM
I hate mustard too.  I always get the Krystal's without mustard and the White Castle's without ketchup.

Sonic is awesome too.  I wish there were some near us.  Actually, one just opened near Philly so it is getting closer.
Title: Re: Photo TR: Trip to Seaside and White Castle!
Post by: GADVwow on January 10, 2007, 07:49:51 PM
Hmmm.

There's a Sonic 15 miles from here.  Do I EVER go there?  No.

There's also a Waffle House 15 miles from here.  Life is good!

I haven't seen any Sonics yet around here (12 miles South of Philly).
LAst time I seen was is in Indiana.

I did see some Wawa's in Virginia on my way to P:KD .

The movie Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle  is based in NJ and they mention a lot of towns we all know.
very funny.

So what Chuck. I'm off next Wednesday and Thursday, we're going. I don't care what you say, and you're paying :)
Title: Re: Photo TR: Trip to Seaside and White Castle!
Post by: Bubba Z on January 12, 2007, 12:49:24 PM
If you wanted Sonic so bad, why didn't we/you  stop at the one near Beech Bend?  Is it that good, I mean the 133,243,282,350 drink combos look good , but the food looks blah.

Has any one been to one in their travels?  If it's that good and If I'm off next week... I might consider driving.  Maybe I could plan a couple of Geocaches along the way to break up the drive. I know the Little old lady who lives in a shoe (House) is out that way.

 *edit -  We really need to start a Food  topic in the Random thread , :)

CHuck and I stopped at one in Indiana on our way from KK to Indian Beech.
It was ok nothing special.
I compare it to CHeckers.
But I only tried Sonic once so only one burger ,fries and a drink.

Chuck,  just wait till the summer.  That way you  could pair it up with a trip to Dutch Wonderland for you're Sky Princess/ Joust credits. That... or stop on the way home from Hershey.

The one in Myrtle Beach was definitely the best one. I really like the hamburgers and tater tots at Sonic. I know Rob enjoyed that dessert he got.

THe Brownie desert they have is fantastic! It has brownie chunks in the ice cream... it's like heaven. Bubba, if you're off next Wed or Thurs lets go!

We didn't stop by Beech Bend because it was breakfast time. I didn't want breakfast. So we ate that Ghetto-fied McDonalds that didn't even serve ice cream!!!!  >:( ;D
