I have a confession to make – I have never eaten at White Castle. I know, I know. Possibly the worst thing someone can do while living in America. Maybe the government should kick me out or something. Anyway, I bet you didn’t know the restaurant has a Cravers Hall of Fame, a shrine for lovers of the company’s slider. I also bet you didn’t know “The Godfather of Shock Rock” Alice Cooper loves White Castle sliders. Cooper is such a fan of the little square hamburgers that earlier this month he showed up at the company headquarters in Columbus, Ohio to be officially inducted into the Hall of Fame. Apparently nearly 10,000 people have tried to get in, but only 170 have been inducted so I guess it’s quite an honor. But it’s not surprising to learn some of the other inductees include John Cho and Kal Penn, aka Harold and Kumar from Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle (which was released 10 years ago this month so make sure to celebrate accordingly). Congrats, Alice! You are now an official member of not just the ridiculous memorial known as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (which has yet to induct Kraftwerk, T. Rex, the Sonics, Pixies, Joy Division, Captain Beefheart, the New York Dolls…I could go on…) but also the freakin’ Cravers Hall of Fame. Maybe the Beer Can Hall of Fame is next?
