Ratburger is the loving endearment attached to White Castle hamburgers. The fries are a bag of tails. These are the original sliders -- little 2x2 inch burgers that will repeat on you for hours afterwards. They are steam cooked, rather thin, with five little holes in the patties to let the steam through as they cook. The usual order is for at least 4 burgers, and you can always tell who the newby is because he'll order one, thinking these are normal Big Mac sized things. Addiction to ratburgers usually begins in childhood, though college students have been known to develop the taste. While people who haven't experienced them by that time usually consider them somewhere below Ken-L-Ration on the desirability scale, addicts will go 30 miles out of their way to get them. White Castles are normally found from about southern New York across northern New Jersey, westward through to St. Louis, where the last one is just west of the city on I44. And now there's that lonely outpost in Vegas....
