Much better than Denny’s for late-night drunk food.

FYI: Wichita is also the origin point for the first NuWay Cafe, famous for its loose-meat sandwiches. We like burgers in my hometown.
ETA: Really wishing I had a Dog N’ Shake (“We butter toast our buns for you!”), Kwiky Burger, Charlie’s Famous Burgers, or a NuWay right now (all Wichita institutions, whether present or past).

The slyders in the picture are their sloppy joes. Which are good, too, and aren’t terribly loaded with sodum (compared to other stuff on the menu), per serving. White Castle should be a treat. The same goes for Krystal (if you live in the South, you take what you can get).

White Castle is the best. I saw my first shooting at a Detroit White Castle in the 70s.

I remember them from my 60’s late night teenage stoner munchie searches:
Their sign read: “Buy 'em by the sack”.
12 cents per burger (in 1968)!
They were open all night.
Back then they tasted like gas station street leather but they were definitely filling.

How is that a bad thing? You want the meat to exit that end as smoothly as possible.
