To White Castle, advocating the advent of sliders to Pittsburgh
To White Castle, the whitest of burger-mongering castles:
Many moons ago, I inquired as to the intent of White Castle, purveyor of the finest sliders in the known universe, to expand its presence into Pennsylvania. I’m interested specifically in its expansion into the western parts of the state, from whence I hail.
In my last communication, I lived near New Castle, Pennsylvania, and the nearest White Castle was in Barberton, Ohio–more than an hour’s drive. I now live near Monroeville, east of the most steely city of Pittsburgh. The nearest one now may in fact still be Barberton, which is approximately two hours from Pittsburgh.
I know that you will remind me that White Castle contracts out its fantastic sliders to various retailers for sale in the frozen goods section, but, alas, such a thing is simply not as pleasing and edifying as the Real Thing.
When oh when, praytell, shall White Castle increase its sphere of influence to include the city of steel, bridges, rivers, buccaneers, and awkward-waddling flightless birds? Its people clamor for the delight of sliderage!
Thank you!

At least you have a White Castle an hour away. I have to hop in a plane to get some of that stuff (not that frozen crap).
Though if you are microwaving them, here’s my procedure:
1. Remove from bag

3. Microwave your first pair of sliders for 1m 25s, then do the others for 1m 10s, maybe less for more powerful microwaves. You always need to do the subsequent sliders at less time since the microwaves retains a lot of heat from that initial nuking.

I’ve heard so much about these things, I might have to plan a road trip to get one someday. While I’m at it, I think I’ll find the nearest IHOP too. Both places are conspicuously absent from the Pittsburgh area.

The nearest White Castle to Pittsburgh is in Barberton, Ohio. It’s a straight shot up I-76, approximately two hours. The nearest IHOP with which I’m familiar is in Boardman, Ohio, approximately 1.25 hours up I-76.
