What is White Castle?

White Castle, the beloved family-owned hamburger chain with over 300 locations nationwide, has been satisfying cravings since 1921. Founded by Billy Ingram with just $700 and a vision to sell tiny, square burgers for five cents, these iconic "Sliders" quickly became a cultural staple. 

Fast forward to today, and White Castle is still serving up the same classic USDA beef patties topped with onions and pickles that started it all.
