Binging with Babish: White Castle Order from Harold & Kumar

Preorder the official Binging with Babish Cookbook today!

This week, the challenge lies in both the volume of food and the method by which it's prepared - 30 sliders whipped up at once, onion-steamed the way White Castle does it. Can I wolf down the entire hyper-stoned order placed by our titular heroes? Of course not, I'm no Matt Stonie, but I've got some hungry friends.

This movie is like a time capsule - remember what it was like back in 2004, when it was this hard to get your hands on...








...white castle?

"But what about a Babish version? As you can imagine, this is gonna start with raising our own cow since calf-hood"

“Legend says it’s to save beef and money, White Castle says it’s so the patties cook quicker and absorb more onion vapors.” I believe both.

Under normal circumstances, that’s be hell on the staff. But if a man comes into your store and orders 30 sliders, 5 fries, and 3 large sodas with that much conviction you just nod and do what the man says.

If you chop the onions then salt them and put them in a strainer over a bowl you can collect a lot of onion juice. You can then use that instead of water and it is awesome!

"Hit em with just a little bit of salt"

If my friend made a platter of smash burgers and fries for me when I was high I would probably propose

[Evzone]

So if they’re cooked using vapors are they really just

As someone who worked at White Castle for their first job, 60 sliders really isn’t crazy. We would make crave cases all the time, and we had 3 grills that could make 90 sliders. What would be annoying is the fryer and drinks since you can’t do a bunch at the same time like the sliders

Day 208: still chopping all of the onions
The smell doesn't even make me cry anymore

Babish: I’m on a diet

Also Babish: I made 30 White Castle sliders.

Interesting fact: Harold Kumar Go to White Castle was the only R rated film to have ever been promoted by the franchise.

[RaccoonHenry]

this reminds me of christmas 2019 when, with a bunch of friends, we had a meal replicating a scene from some evanescence dvd where they eat a pile of McD's cheeseburgers. we ended up having like 6 burgers each, 10 of us, plus maybe 4 medium size fries each on the side. it was ridiculous and oh so beautiful and magical. the staff fulfilled the order using 3 of the boxes they get the frozen fries shipped in.

Babish, Please recreate the Turkey cooked within a Monkfish from Malcolm in the Middle.

Middle schoolers when they find out White Castle sliders are cooked with vape.

[captaindreadnought]

So you’re saying white castle burgers are steamed?

*seymore skinner has entered the chat*

[ManSeekingMeaning]

A foreword by Jon Favreau? Dude. That is fantastic. Huge congratulations to Babish and the crew. He's come so far.

"Last, but not least, what about a Babish Version? As you might imagine this is gonna involve us raising our own beef cows."
