In November 2019, I attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the White Castle in Orlando. It was a long time coming. Their Cravemobile visited Orlando & Miami in 2015 for a few weeks.
By then, it had been almost 50 years since White Castle had set foot in my home state. There were 2 White Castle restaurants in Miami from 1958-1967.
I found it odd that they had driven their Cravemobile to the sunshine state since White Castle is based out of Columbus, Ohio. But, I knew they had to be up to something.
A lot of the virtual legwork to get White Castle to Florida was done by the Bring White Castle to Florida Facebook page. They rolled the first pebble, which eventually became the World’s Largest White Castle. So we have them to thank!
The day before May 3rd’s grand opening, White Castle invited friends and family to get a taste. Unfortunately, I had committed to a book signing and could not make it. So I asked my bud Jorge to go in my place and asked one thing of him. Please snap plenty of pictures!
He did. Please enjoy them.
P.S.: Remember to order at least one of the 1921 White Castle Sliders. The Orlando restaurant is one of a handful of restaurants that serve this fresh beef slider and have the Crave Pallet!
