2 White Castles are About to Open in Shanghai
You’ve surly heard the rumors by now, Shanghai will be getting not one, but TWO White Castles very soon. Both stores have been slated to open end of April/ beginning of May, although neither appear to be open quite yet.
The first location is Feng Sheng Li, the new hot spot on Maoming lu that includes the new Goose Island Brewhouse and the Hard Rock. The second White Castle will be inside the new Raffle’s City (B1/F, the East Section to be exact).
This cult-classic burgers shop was founded in Wichita, Kansas back in 1921, and is generally credited as the country's first fast-food chain. Interestingly, it was so influential that its name appeared in Beastie Boys’ songs 7 times. This shop also boasts the “most influential burger of all time” according to Time magazine. The small, square hamburgers (sometimes referred to as "sliders”) were also made famous by the 2004 film Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.
