They don't have any White Castle restaurants but there are places where you can buy them frozen. If you go to White Castle's home page and click on Oklahoma it tells you where.

Whichever burger you decide on, go with a side of Onion Rings... massive and yummy!

If they are closed today, we will go tomorrow and I WILL post pics!

I'm going to have to check this place out.

Here's a teenie-weenie picture.

We went for burgers and the owner was kind enough to let me snap a few pics. *YUMMY* as always!

I thought White Castle was a midwest thing! Talk about a blast from the past - we used to go there when I was in high school, you could get a dozen for a dollar back then. They were pretty good, too. But I was stunned the first time I saw them frozen in the grocery store. That was right up there with the frozen ready-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I still can't quite imagine anyone needing pre-fab PB&J sandwiches...

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 lb ground round
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt

1. Heat oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add onion and saute 10 minutes or until tender.
3. Spoon onion into a bowl and let cool.
4. Add beef, pepper, and egg white to onion, and stir well.
5. Divide beef mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping into 3/4-inch-thick patties.
6. Sprinkle salt evenly over surface of skillet.
7. Heat salt in skillet over high heat 2 minutes.
8. Add patties.
9. Cook 5 minutes on each side, or until done.

Ok. I have everything mixed up and ready to fry. Like men, I didin't read the whole recipe first, so I made some mistakes, but I'm still going to finsh what I started. I won't say what I did wrong until I see if they're still good this way.
Who knows, I might have a new recipe.

Good work. Good stuff, too.

The White Castle method (and Krystal, too, for that matter) and Oklahoma's fried onion burger have similar ideas, but WC is small and is the size of a dinner roll. In Oklahoma, you've got the more traditional-sized sandwich, patty, bun, and all. Plus, the emphasis in OK is on two things: the huge fried onions and the meat itself.

There's a place (or there used to be) in Chickasha called the J.W. Grill that serves up a mean onion burger. In the same town there's a place (or, well, there used to be!) called Paw-Paw's that was also pretty darned scrumptious.

In Tulsa there's a place called Bill's Jumbo Burgers that I really miss.

Looking back at that pic, it didn't do the Fried Onion Burger much justice

They were piled on almost as thick as the meat itself and sugar sweet! Next time I'll try to focus more on picture taking and less on eating it... or not!!

A little better cropping job?
