The White Castle chain began in 1921 in Wichita, Kansas, where its ingenious small burgers kicked off a national craze and inspired imitators of all shapes and sizes. But over a century later, White Castle has entirely vanished from its home state. And the story of how it introduced America to the hamburger has largely been overshadowed by its fast food rivals.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel The folks would sometimes splurge and buy a bag of White Castle Burgers for a dollar in 1940. Returning to that same location in Columbus, OH some 55 years later I wondered why we did not get sick!

I want to recall that there were 20 Burgers in one of those bags. Those would sometimes be topped off with Islay’s hard serve ice cream cones with the ice cream scooped to look like a matching cone on the top. PO1 William "Chip" Nagel

While attending ANCOES at Ft. Benjamin Harrison in 1974 I often stopped for a bag. Loved them.
