How do the storebought White Castle burgers compare to the drive-thru's? I've never had either...
Well, the drive-thru ones are superlatively disgusting (tiny waffer of tasteless poor quality ground beef on a soggy small white bun with finely chopped onions, ketchup, and mustard), so it is a safe bet the frozen store bought ones couldn't be any worse.
On The Border is pretty awful too. Ate there once and really wished I'd wasted my money elsewhere. But every time I pass through the Kansas City area (happens way more often than I'd like) I have to eat at this place called Jose Pepper's. It is amazing! And the locals have a tendency to cock their heads and look at me funny when I say as much. It is a chain, not sure how widespread it is, KC is the only place I've seen them.
I spent two months in Texas earlier this year, passed Whataburger all the time, but never once ate at one. Upon returning home my girlfriend, who is a Texan, was very disappointed in me for not trying it out along with some chicken place that I guess is also only found in the lower parts of North America.
