For years I have driven past White Castles during the month of February seeing signs that stated “Make your reservations immediately because Valentine’s Day is around the corner.” It never occurred to me what was going on or perhaps it did. However, I didn’t have the guts to wrap my mind around the idea that some darling and thoughtful man or woman would call white castles one sunny afternoon and say, “Hello I would like to make reservations for two for February 14th at 5 O’ Clock” please.” When I think of white castles, I think of the late night burger joint that you can always depend on after you and a group of friends have gotten drunk off a bottle of Remy Martin V.S.O.P and need to cram something into your digestive system. With this thought in mind I had to do some research.
I decided to call White Castles and inquire about their Valentine’s Day reservations. Upon calling, a lady named Melissa answered the phone and revealed some shocking details about their event. Melissa explained that for the past six years, White Castle has offered a truly romantic experience. Me and my special someone can enjoy table service at our local White Castle, complete with decorations, table clothes and floral centerpieces. And this year they’re even offering free dessert! She went on to say that every couple would receive a photo available through the White Castle website and that dinner would begin at 5pm. I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing so I asked Melissa, “Do people actually participate in this?” She responded saying that “We normally have a full house; in fact I’d hurry up and make my reservations if I were you because they fill up fast”. “No thanks” I said as I slowly hung up the phone.
With that being said, ladies and gentlemen I don’t care how much a person love those greasy and gassy burgers. I personally feel that it is unacceptable to take your mate to White Castles on Valentine’s Day. I would rather the person I’m with attempt to cook me a homemade meal to show they care. Perhaps I’m being bourgeois and need to get my nose out the clouds. Maybe I need to grasp the realization that staring into your mates eyes as you two share a couple of cheese burger sliders and chicken rings is someone’s idea of a romantic evening. Can you all please squeeze the juice out of this one for me? Would it ever be acceptable for your mate to take you to White Castles on Valentine’s Day?
Hell no. Don’t take me to White Castle. Lol. I mean every couple is different but don’t do it with me. We can eat that on February 15th. Lol
