We had Royal Castle in New Orleans BITD. I always thought it was the knock off, not the original. But who knows? And weren’t their burgers square?

Really? WC is suuuuper old school. They've been around since forever. I don't think that anyone here is old enough to have been around before WC, not even Robert.
Edit: I see that WC was founded in 1921, so maybe I was wrong about the Robert not being around.

Also, this is cool - the photo on the WC wiki page is that of a building a couple miles away from me -
Wiki indicates that it was WC #8 . I obviously knew that it was old, but I hadn't realized that it was that old.

Few did, and that's the way he liked it. Making pals wasn't his thing.

The closest WC to me is 50 miles, two counties away, where I used to work. So whenever I'm down that way I make it my business to stop at WC for the day's lunch, and then I stop at my favorite deli to pick up the next day's lunch - the best Italian combo sammich on the planet.

When I was growing up in New Jersey, we had a WC in the town next to us, but it was a "treat" not a regular thing, to go there. Loads of delicious little square burgers by the bag full 😋

Oh, I also just ordered a new fangled high tech trainer. I'm already dreading using it.
