Ah, who doesn't have fond memories of partying on the bar circuit till 2 a.m., then topping off the night at a greasy spoon for burgers and fries before stumbling home to get sick and wake up with a hangover? Now, we can do it all in just one place!
The White Castle hamburger chain is sipping on the idea of selling alcoholic beverages at its restaurants.
The 90-year-old company is testing beer and wine sales at a location in Lafayette, Ind., that combines a traditional White Castle burger joint with a Blaze Modern BBQ, a new restaurant concept also being tried out. In other cities, Columbus, Ohio-based White Castle is testing an Asian food concept and a restaurant that serves grilled sandwiches.
Customers in Lafayette can buy a glass wine for $4.50 or a domestic beer for $3.
Just beer and wine, though. Bummer. Can the day be far off when our Big Macs might be accompanied by Harvey Wallbangers or Sloe Gin Fizzes? Just put us up some cots with attached barf bags in the kidddie playroom, and you can be a one-stoop shop.
