Seriously, what difference does it make if there was one in Moore or not. I take SoonerDave's word for it because why should I give a fiddlers fart if he's right or wrong. Just silliness.

Like I said... We're all free to have our hallucinations.

Forget a White Castle. Their needs to be a push to try and get the Heart Attack Grill to open a location here. Offer em' tax breaks and they'll be right here contributing to Obesity, Heart Disease, and High Blood Pressure.

This came up on an FB group yesterday, went about the same as here. I lived 6 blocks from the White Castle in Moore in the Mid 80's and ate there several times. It was where Las Fajitas was, It may have became "Bunches" but It was White Castle in 1985.

It was there, as you describe, I ate there and lived 6 blocks from it.

It was not White Castle. I have talked to the owners of White Castle about 6 months ago when I was eating there in Vegas and they said there has never been in OKC. I keep asking them to build a White Castle in Hollywood and OKC and luckily for me, a Hollywood location isn’t far fetched.

It may have been briefly called White Castle until the actual trademark holding White Castle made them change their name. But it was never a legitimate White Castle.

The one in Russellville is Feltner's Whatta-Burger and a single location there. The Corpus Christi founded Whataburger (HQ moved to San Antonio about five years ago) started in the 50's, the one in Russellville in the 60's. I would imagine they would grant a Whataburger franchise in Little Rock or NWA if someone qualified came forward, just not one in Russellville.

Serious Eats - Feltner's Whatta-Burger Holds Steady in a Time Warp in Russellville, AR (http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/04/feltners-whatta-burger-review-russellville-ar.html)
I ate there about a month and a half ago while on a motorcycle Trip. Definitely a time warp. I noticed the difference in spelling but still wondered how they had stayed out of Whataburger’s crosshairs, since it seems like such a brand similarity invariably results in a cease and desist and a victory by the bigger business even if the small guy was first to market.

After reading, it sounds like there was a handshake agreement between the two that Whataburger would never expand to Russellville and Whatta-burger would never expand outside of that market. If so, it makes me think even more highly of Whataburger than I already did.

I already had a bunch of love for Whataburger because my ex-wife’s mom and grandparents were from Corpus and we spent a lot of time down there, where people’s pride in their hometown chain was almost infectious.

In a similar vein, I always wondered how WATSON burger did not get any heat from Whataburger for having a strinkingly similar designed place.

Not really. YouTube some vintage Benny Hinn, not Hill, and you’ll see stadiums of people mass hallucinating.

Now *that* is an explanation I'm more than happy to accept.

I remember when that place in Moore first opened and I was excited to get over there with White Castles dancing around in my head. Then reality set in when I got there. It was not White Castle. It was a cheap knock off wanna be. It wasn't named White Castle, but I remember It was real close though.

I only remember it being called Bunches and remember the burgers tasting like school cafeteria burgers.

YUM! Could you also get three slices of an apple and 1.5 pieces of broccoli? With exactly one cup of milk to wash it down?
