On May 19, a Floral Park woman and nine other White Castle fans were inducted into the Cravers Hall of Fame.
The honor is bestowed upon only the most loyal, ardent devotees of the brand, the company says.
Christine
Reed, of Floral Park, shared her personal story about her connection to
White Castle during the induction ceremony that was held at White
Castle's home office in Columbus, Ohio.
Reed
says her fondness for White Castle started as a young child when her
grandfather first introduced her to sliders. Many of her subsequent
visits to White Castle were connected to special occasions and memorable
moments.
Reed’s
first date, for example, took place at a White Castle, as did many
late-night escapades. After the funeral of her great-grandmother, who
was a devoted slider fan, Reed headed to White Castle in her honor while other family members dined at a fancier restaurant.
Reed
joins 262 other people including renowned celebrity fans of the
brand who have been inducted since White Castle created the Cravers Hall
of Fame in 2001.
