As a former White Castle employee, this is mostly correct. However the sauce is called "everything sauce" and is a combination of ketchup, mustard, and pickle juice.
Moment of silence to every white castle employee that burns themselves, screams "ohh oww thats hot", and sets off the fire alarm every time they make a burger.
would you want someone with 20 years of experience making teaching employees how to make your food or some young manager who doesn't care about quality and believes in the whole "minimum wage minimum effort " idea and doesn't care if their employees slack even if it gives customers food poisoning@@stupidslave
I worked at White Castle in the 1980s. Made those little treasures. Yes, the buns are hot when you flip them up and into the box. No mustard ever! Only a pickle. Also, salt before cooking. The burger are frozen pre made now.
i used to work at a white castle. this is 100% how they are made. their griddles were also made to be just big enough to allow 30 burgers on the griddle at once, which is the size of a craze case (30 burgers). the also have a cover that had holes in the top to trap in more of the steam.
Used to work at one as well. Definitely had too much water and no burger seasoning (salt & pepper mixed.) They had crave crates as well, 100 burgers....
I worked a few fast food places in high school and White Castle was by far the absolute cleanest place. I actually really enjoyed working there, free coffee helps lol
Fun fact: The reason White Castle brands itself as "White Castle" was to show how clean it was compared to other restaurants. It essentially bragged about its cleanliness by making its entire store white so that any stains would stand out.
@@waitisthatcobalt dude the fire alarm goes off when there's too much smoke in the air and that smoke can be the smoke coming off of your pan 💀y'all seem to have never cooked something in your whole life

Dude, I worked at White Castle for four years. Once you lay the patties down on the bed of onions, you have to give a salt and pepper mix. Sprinkle to it to taste, and enjoy.
To be fair the whole point (aside from like fruit and cured meats) of dehydrated food is to later re-hydrate it, most food is only dehydrated so it can last longer/weigh less since water carries a lot of the weight in most foods
They should just not de and re hydrate the onions, but instead just use fresh onions. This would cut out two time-intensive steps and lead to large profit. Companies like profit so somebody tell this to White Castle please!
@@LeonSKennedy7777 dehydrated onion cost less and or more densely packed, reducing transport cost (which matter on a huge chain scale).

That was my first job. Summer of ‘82. We never used mustard though. I had burns all over my wrists and pinkies. Cleaning the fatty liquid each night was nauseating. We’d scrape it into buckets and they’d get picked up weekly. The smell just hung in the air. It stuck to my clothes and my hair. The burgers tasted great and everything was clean and safe, but after working there, I could never eat another one again. The smell turns my stomach.
When I was a kid, the smoke alarm was our dinner bell. Almost daily without fail it would go off right before my mom called us all to the table, because the stove exhaust fan pushed everything toward it.

Carry on with whatever fast food and brightly colored chips you're currently wiping on your sweat pants
The slider was originally a meatball sandwich. Customer complained the meatballs weren’t cooking fast enough, chef smashed the meatballs with his spatula, flattening them so they cooked faster… And the rest is history.
I don't understand how they can get away with selling such tiny burgers... I don't have a WC near where I live, I've just had the frozen ones they sell, and they really aren't that great... I'm sure fresh ones are better, but if it costs more than a dollar for one of those, I'd be going to McDonald's before I'd get them
Sorry for your loss. Your father is also correct. It's a joke amongst my friends that after you eat White Castle and use the restroom the room then smells like you're at a White Castle.
I'd prefer it to smelling like grease and fries. Coming home from working at McD's was grea-hee-heeasy. Like, Randus Bobandus' cheeseburger picnic kind of greasy.
@@ChadLuca I get it recommended and I don't eat burgers regularly, but it always makes me want a burger, just not one where the raw patty touches the bun.
Unless, of course, the fire alarm and goofy mistakes are scripted to help create an illusion of sincerity. This is capitalism, friend. Millions are the prize, and you need to find a way to stand out to keep viewers getting these vibes. It's all about vibes.
I worked at a White Castle for a hot minute, this recipe is ALMOST perfect to how we made them in the castle. Big tip, keep the buns closer and also you can put a paper bag over the top to aid with steaming depending on the top bun
I like when the buns are really "soggy" so I asked the counter clerk one day is there a way to request "soggy buns" lol.. they said yes.. ask for them to be "extra steamed" and they'd know what to do !
When I lived in Dallas Texas in the mid 1960s my mom would take us with her to White Castle and buy a big bag full of burgers. They were 10 cents each.
@@sirbunningham ....I guess I'll do my older guy thing now. When I was a kid, there was penny candy, EVERY WHERE !One penny for a piece of candy. If you had a dollar, as a kid you were filthy rich. A gallon of gas was 25 cents. A loaf of bread was 25 cents. It was the 1960s. It's kind of like time traveling....only your constantly moving. Every Saturday morning... Saturday morning cartoons. And lots of penny candy, And soda pop. We were so jacked up on sugar we could have robbed banks. LOL. 🤣 Every one that survives birth, gets their turn at youth... what's your story. 😎
@@joesmith2505 Well I never had penny candy but we did have nickel candy around the corner at the local produce store right next to the school. Big wheels and those yellow and red buggies made me feel like Barney Rubble in the summer, always played with hand tools, played baseball every year up till I was 12. when I got older (9-13)I was always at the local swim club or riding bikes, skateboarding, scooters. I would set up plastic bottles and tin cans and practice with my slingshot or BB gun, I had a decent size back yard so I got a little 50cc four wheeler and would spend all afternoon back there.
yeah this is pretty accurate lol, I worked there for a few years. Technically a base slider doesnt get cheese, just pickles. It may have changed, but we never put mustard on the sliders. I used to put the horseradish mustard on if I was eating it myself tho. Also the bun thing, it steams the bun and it also makes it significantly easier to take the burgers off the griddle and lay them out for the expo to construct them, considering we were making upwards of 1000 sliders a day it makes it much more efficient.
I worked for Wendy’s about 30 years ago. We used to put the American Cheese in the grease on the grill for a few seconds to start melting it. We then use a spatula to put the cheese on the meat. The local health department made us stop melting the cheese this way. They said the cheese could become “contaminated” from being in the very hot grease. It didn’t make much sense to me, but we had to do what the health department said. I can just imagine what they’d say about putting the bun on a raw patty.
Nothing I use to work at whitecastle this is how they make them even when the health department is there. Only difference is we started out with frozen patties
That health department employee is one of the many bad health enforcement workers that make industry difficult to run well. I run into fire dept inspectors and osha inspectors a few times a year who will claim things to be law and the proceed to fail at finding said law anywhere when challenged. This is in the pressurized gas industry. It's like they don't even get the same training delivery drivers get on the rules around storage and use of gasses... and they're supposed to be the experts.
It would be for those severely allergic to cheese, especially children. If they ask for no cheese, and you gave them cheesed grease, it could be a disaster. I was unfortunately one of those children for a time, couldn't just take the cheese off something, if anything had even touched cheese or milk touched my throat, it would swell shut in about a minute and I would need an ambulance. so so glad I grew out of it, but yeah, that's why.
@@TheCuriosity8 Ah, fair enough. That makes sense. From a culinary standpoint i commend the wendy's for trying to make a better burger, but from an allergen aware standpoint that makes sense.
@@TheCuriosity8my wife is allergic to blue cheese to a ridiculous degree, but it's never been life threatening. She was rinsing off one of those microwave Mac n Cheese containers, I forget which brand, but it had blue cheese in it. Well, her hands started itching, so she washed them again with soap and water, careful to wash all the way up her forearms, just in case. Which prompted them to break out in hives, even though the soap had never given her that reaction. And Benadryl fixed it. Bizarre that the secondary contact of "soapy water from a rehydrated cheese sauce with only trace amounts amounts in the first place" was enough. And then when we were out to eat, I offered her a bite of a sandwich without thinking, and we had to finish up quick and go buy some Benadryl cause that was faster than going home. It was causing swelling in her mouth and throat, but only like "sore throat" amounts, not full anaphylaxis. We're more careful now, either way.
It is not a White Castle slider. There is no mustard on a white castle slider. He may have worked someplace else, but not at White castle@@Taylormade2350
THANK YOU!!!! I knew I wasn't the only one!! Watched this video a bunch of times and his alarm is recorded on some super 4K AI IMAX Dolby XXL Surround Sound that makes it sound like it's in your brain!!
I watched this a few months ago and then worked at white castle to see how legit it was and I got done with training faster from the knowledge of this video, now I work in the trades but it was a fun test.
I wouldn't know about the "real" ones, but his here looks [youtube]ing nasty. Rehydrated onions? Meat that has been effectively boiled, no browning? The buns are infused with sogginess from the steam? Makes me wanna puke.
Former employee here! You forgot one thing, we had a seasoning that was salt and pepper (possibly MSG too but im not sure) that we put on the patties before the buns 😊 overall very accurate! And indeed theyre super hot, especially when the grills are on rush temp, you're just expected to get used to it and you eventually do somewhat. The continuous burns and repetitive motions were hard to handle for sure😂
as an ex Raising Cane's employee who put together the meals, you do indeed "get used to it", now my hands are so tempeture resistant that I seem superhuman to my wife.
Try putting mustard on any future burns you may get. NO, I'm serious, it works better than anything else I've ever used I now carry the little packages of mustard in my first-aid kit.
Have to get your "kitchen hands". Burn your hands enough and you do get used to it. Working in restaurants I've seen people grab things directly off of a charcoal grill with their hands. Kind of like scar tissue I guess.
@devinkerley2431 You maybe right, or it could be kind of like training your nerves to detect between uncomfortable and damaging levels of heat? Or it could be a combination of both.
I don't have a white castle in my area, so when I got the chance to eat some fresh sliders from a restaurant while traveling, I was amazed. Amazed that they taste exactly the same as the frozen store-bought ones.

I worked at White Castle when I was 16. The bottom bun being hot was a real issue. Had the same reaction the first time I made it. 😂😂
Yeah me too, and you have a grill full of them patties lol.
And I hated the no onion orders because now you have to scrap EVERY SINGLE one off. 😢
@@LiquoriceGold For the short time I worked there I always slacked on those orders cause nobody ever had a response for "But it's still gonna taste like onion and have onion particles". Never got a complaint
Putting the bread on that raw patty gotta be the reason those burgers give you the bubble guts 😂
It's gotta be dem onions
Yes!
No because just like how the burger cooks in the steam, so does the bun
Seems like a health code violation.
@@lowmax4431 nah because the bun is quite literally cooked the same way as the pattie itself and for basically just as long
White castle is great if you love tiny wet onion burgers
I do love tiny wet onion burgers. Its all i have ever since McDonald's got rid of the grillied onion cheddar
People actually eat at white castle?
@@thejbshow8714 surprisingly, yes.
...and massive wet onion fartz.
And I do. The double patty has better ratio.
These look so good! I just keep watching the video
So this is why White Castle has a reputation for making your stomach upset
If you got some coworkers that you really hate, follow a few helpful steps the night before you go to work.
#1-drink a 6 pack of PBR
#2-eat 6 krystals(or white castles)
#3-eat a bowl of chili with beans
#4-get fired for killing your entire work staff with your toxic gas😂
Even the store bought frozen ones do it lol

Steamed yams.

I've always wondered what caused my White Castle diarrhea and now I know it's the bun sitting on the raw meat
Uneducated response, surface ecoli; if it steams, it's hitting @ 212
It's because they consist of a lot of bread and onions to meat, so they digest fast.

The slider was originally a meatball sandwich.
Customer complained the meatballs weren’t cooking fast enough, chef smashed the meatballs with his spatula, flattening them so they cooked faster…
And the rest is history.
actually, all of it is history
Yup

Cap
So just a glorified smash boiga
7 billion served and White Castle still has their first pound of meat.
I don't understand how they can get away with selling such tiny burgers... I don't have a WC near where I live, I've just had the frozen ones they sell, and they really aren't that great... I'm sure fresh ones are better, but if it costs more than a dollar for one of those, I'd be going to McDonald's before I'd get them
@@since1876 when you buy them, they give you multiple burgers
@@since1876 They're less than $1/slider. Fresh ones are better, but it's definitely a different taste than the typical burgers.

Sorry for your loss. Your father is also correct. It's a joke amongst my friends that after you eat White Castle and use the restroom the room then smells like you're at a White Castle.

It's because the meat patties are made from mostly soy

I worked at White Castle in late 2022 and it was actually pretty great aside from coming home every night smelling like onions and beef.
I'd prefer it to smelling like grease and fries. Coming home from working at McD's was grea-hee-heeasy. Like, Randus Bobandus' cheeseburger picnic kind of greasy.

Better stop eating burgers then
@@ChadLuca I get it recommended and I don't eat burgers regularly, but it always makes me want a burger, just not one where the raw patty touches the bun.
Hey you again! I’ll see you next time.
I like how this is real not a fake perfect instagram kitchen. From the mess ups to the fire alarm, this is reality.
Unless, of course, the fire alarm and goofy mistakes are scripted to help create an illusion of sincerity. This is capitalism, friend. Millions are the prize, and you need to find a way to stand out to keep viewers getting these vibes. It's all about vibes.

I worked at a White Castle for a hot minute, this recipe is ALMOST perfect to how we made them in the castle. Big tip, keep the buns closer and also you can put a paper bag over the top to aid with steaming depending on the top bun
You mean the burgers closer together on the grill?
@@jacksonshelburne2747 yeah place them closer together so the steam can handle it a bit better
Shhh! They'll come for you. Never reveal trade secrets.
I like when the buns are really "soggy" so I asked the counter clerk one day is there a way to request "soggy buns" lol.. they said yes.. ask for them to be "extra steamed" and they'd know what to do !

When I lived in Dallas Texas in the mid 1960s my mom would take us with her to White Castle
and buy a big bag full of burgers. They were 10 cents each.
Now they’re $1.19 and add 10¢ for cheese 😂

When I was a kid, there was penny candy, EVERY WHERE !One penny for a piece of candy. If you had a dollar, as a kid you were filthy rich. A gallon of gas was 25 cents. A loaf of bread was 25 cents. It was the 1960s. It's kind of like time traveling....only your constantly moving.
Every Saturday morning... Saturday morning cartoons.
And lots of penny candy,
And soda pop.
We were so jacked up on sugar we could have robbed banks. LOL. 🤣

@@joesmith2505 Well I never had penny candy but we did have nickel candy around the corner at the local produce store right next to the school. Big wheels and those yellow and red buggies made me feel like Barney Rubble in the summer, always played with hand tools, played baseball every year up till I was 12. when I got older (9-13)I was always at the local swim club or riding bikes, skateboarding, scooters. I would set up plastic bottles and tin cans and practice with my slingshot or BB gun, I had a decent size back yard so I got a little 50cc four wheeler and would spend all afternoon back there.

yeah this is pretty accurate lol, I worked there for a few years. Technically a base slider doesnt get cheese, just pickles. It may have changed, but we never put mustard on the sliders. I used to put the horseradish mustard on if I was eating it myself tho. Also the bun thing, it steams the bun and it also makes it significantly easier to take the burgers off the griddle and lay them out for the expo to construct them, considering we were making upwards of 1000 sliders a day it makes it much more efficient.
Yeah and causes salmonella, even McDonald's won't let raw food go out.

I worked for Wendy’s about 30 years ago. We used to put the American Cheese in the grease on the grill for a few seconds to start melting it. We then use a spatula to put the cheese on the meat. The local health department made us stop melting the cheese this way. They said the cheese could become “contaminated” from being in the very hot grease. It didn’t make much sense to me, but we had to do what the health department said. I can just imagine what they’d say about putting the bun on a raw patty.
Nothing I use to work at whitecastle this is how they make them even when the health department is there. Only difference is we started out with frozen patties
That health department employee is one of the many bad health enforcement workers that make industry difficult to run well. I run into fire dept inspectors and osha inspectors a few times a year who will claim things to be law and the proceed to fail at finding said law anywhere when challenged. This is in the pressurized gas industry. It's like they don't even get the same training delivery drivers get on the rules around storage and use of gasses... and they're supposed to be the experts.
It would be for those severely allergic to cheese, especially children. If they ask for no cheese, and you gave them cheesed grease, it could be a disaster.
I was unfortunately one of those children for a time, couldn't just take the cheese off something, if anything had even touched cheese or milk touched my throat, it would swell shut in about a minute and I would need an ambulance.
so so glad I grew out of it, but yeah, that's why.
@@TheCuriosity8 Ah, fair enough. That makes sense. From a culinary standpoint i commend the wendy's for trying to make a better burger, but from an allergen aware standpoint that makes sense.
@@TheCuriosity8my wife is allergic to blue cheese to a ridiculous degree, but it's never been life threatening. She was rinsing off one of those microwave Mac n Cheese containers, I forget which brand, but it had blue cheese in it. Well, her hands started itching, so she washed them again with soap and water, careful to wash all the way up her forearms, just in case. Which prompted them to break out in hives, even though the soap had never given her that reaction.
And Benadryl fixed it.
Bizarre that the secondary contact of "soapy water from a rehydrated cheese sauce with only trace amounts amounts in the first place" was enough.
And then when we were out to eat, I offered her a bite of a sandwich without thinking, and we had to finish up quick and go buy some Benadryl cause that was faster than going home. It was causing swelling in her mouth and throat, but only like "sore throat" amounts, not full anaphylaxis.
We're more careful now, either way.
i thought that fire alarm was in my house for a moment, and i’ve seen this short befofe
I love when George gets in full costume for the show. He's like the uncle I wish I had 😆.
He reminds me of my old english teacher that I still hang out with now that he's retired, just more high energy but same overall demeanor.

The original slider didn't have cheese or mustard. We also used frozen patties and the classified top secret seasoning (salt and pepper)
So much for the classification 😂😂😂
I don't care if it was 50% sawdust I freaking love em. Especially the jalapeno slider
"We" ? 🤔
@@mr-is2bfI'm going to take a wild guess and say he worked there.
It is not a White Castle slider. There is no mustard on a white castle slider. He may have worked someplace else, but not at White castle@@Taylormade2350
your alarm made me go check my kitchen
Deadass thought mine were going off for a sec😭
THANK YOU!!!! I knew I wasn't the only one!! Watched this video a bunch of times and his alarm is recorded on some super 4K AI IMAX Dolby XXL Surround Sound that makes it sound like it's in your brain!!
I looked up so quick when that part played
I watched this a few months ago and then worked at white castle to see how legit it was and I got done with training faster from the knowledge of this video, now I work in the trades but it was a fun test.
Whatever he made probably tastes better than a actual White Castle slider
I agree. It's nasty.
Fr, whit castle is bad itself in my opinion but the sliders? Those are horrible.
I agree they give u major gas too and they don't put mustard on the burgers
I wouldn't know about the "real" ones, but his here looks [youtube]ing nasty.
Rehydrated onions? Meat that has been effectively boiled, no browning? The buns are infused with sogginess from the steam? Makes me wanna puke.
Right? White Castle is disgusting.
Former employee here! You forgot one thing, we had a seasoning that was salt and pepper (possibly MSG too but im not sure) that we put on the patties before the buns 😊 overall very accurate! And indeed theyre super hot, especially when the grills are on rush temp, you're just expected to get used to it and you eventually do somewhat. The continuous burns and repetitive motions were hard to handle for sure😂
as an ex Raising Cane's employee who put together the meals, you do indeed "get used to it", now my hands are so tempeture resistant that I seem superhuman to my wife.
Try putting mustard on any future burns you may get.
NO, I'm serious, it works better than anything else I've ever used
I now carry the little packages of mustard in my first-aid kit.
Have to get your "kitchen hands". Burn your hands enough and you do get used to it. Working in restaurants I've seen people grab things directly off of a charcoal grill with their hands. Kind of like scar tissue I guess.
@devinkerley2431
You maybe right, or it could be kind of like training your nerves to detect between uncomfortable and damaging levels of heat?
Or it could be a combination of both.
@@floydholder597I concur

Amazing
I don't have a white castle in my area, so when I got the chance to eat some fresh sliders from a restaurant while traveling, I was amazed. Amazed that they taste exactly the same as the frozen store-bought ones.
