Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
As many of you know, I'm a huge fan of both White Castle and barbecue. So when I read that the Castle was experimenting with pulled pork on a bun, my reaction was a, long-drawn out "Nooooooo!!"
Is nothing sacred? Seems to me that two great American traditions, the State's first hamburger chain and barbecue, would be sullied by the Castle's introduction of pulled pork. That's not to say I have anything against pulled pork on a miniature bun. Done right, it's tasty as hell and a more healthful portion than the gigantic sandwiches one usually eats at barbecue joints.
Sadly I don't think the Castle is going to do justice to pulled pork. And I'm not just saying that because I want to lump their new product in the McRib category. Further reading of the article in Nation's Restaurant News (registration required) reveals that it will arrive at the store's frozen. I can't help but feel that it will also be saturated with liquid smoke and have the consistency of cat food.
I hope my suspicions about the quality of the Castle's pulled pork are wrong. All of a sudden, I'm craving a pulled pork slyder topped with an onion ring.

Yes it was.

OK, I tried these tonight. It is soupy pulled pork (no chunks, just tiny shreds) swimming in a sweet, ketchupy bbq sauce on that standard slider bun. Substandard bbq no doubt, but WC is meant for sopping up liquor and I have no doubt these can get that done. That being said, if you don't have better bbq than this during normal hours I feel horrible for you.
