Dolores Brown loves those onion-covered hamburger sliders from White Castle.
Raised in New Jersey in a family that hit up White Castle every Friday, Brown eventually became a U.S. diplomat and traveled all over the world. To compensate for losing her Friday evening White Castle tradition, she would "hightail it to White Castle as soon as she returned home," according to the company.
For her efforts and her work as a U.S. diplomat, White Castle inducted her into the Cravers Hall of Fame this month. (White Castle offers a 30-pack of sliders for about $20 in a "Crave Case," one of its most popular menu items.)
“You can find all sorts of U.S. fast food all over the earth, but not my Crave, my White Castle,” she wrote in her submission. “The first thing I would do when I returned after spending a year or so abroad, no matter how long the flight or arduous the trip, was to hightail it to White Castle. Before going home, before doing anything.” White Castle, in a release, said she even tried to make the sliders herself while stationed in Egypt, but she was unsuccessful.
“White Castle has a bold following of Cravers around the world and it’s amazing to hear the funny, creative and heartwarming stories that illustrate how our sliders have impacted their lives,” said Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle. “The Cravers Hall of Fame is our way of showing our gratitude for the loyal and dedicated fans who have made our brand what it is today. It celebrates their memorable moments and the amazing ways that White Castle has become a part of their stories.”
White Castle has been in business for 98 years and its buildings are designed to look like small white castles. The closest White Castle to Alexandria is in Pennsylvania, but the sliders are available in the frozen food section at some local stores.
