Transcript
0:04
right in front of me is going to be the
0:04
all-new world's largest
0:07
white castle tiny burger restaurant
0:12
the first well the first of the
0:15
organization
0:16
to be back in florida in over 50 years i
0:19
believe originally well not originally
0:21
but they were in miami
0:23
for a short time half a century ago
0:27
and after all that time they have
0:29
decided to rear their head once again
0:32
and they are serving food starting today
0:35
not out of that building but from the
0:37
company
0:39
has a place in downtown orlando they
0:41
have opened something
0:42
called a ghost kitchen starting at 10
0:45
a.m
0:45
which was about 30 minutes ago give or
0:48
take
0:49
just a few miles from here but it is
0:51
affiliated with what is going to be over
0:53
there the world's largest
0:55
so i'm going to head closer to downtown
0:58
and order
0:58
from that kitchen for the first time
1:01
white castle
1:02
can be consumed now obviously when this
1:05
officially opens i'll be back with this
1:07
is a historic occasion for fast food
1:09
lovers
1:10
now the food from the the test we're not
1:12
the not the test but the ghost kitchen
1:14
can only be delivered within a 15 mile
1:16
radius which means i gotta get closer
1:19
to that kitchen and i can't have it
1:21
ordered right here so i think it's a
1:22
little out of distance
1:24
put the coordinates in and it appears as
1:26
if it's 13 miles from where the new
1:28
restaurant
1:29
is gonna be that was the sign that said
1:32
orlando across that overpass
1:35
welcome everyone out of the woo here
1:37
corner of dollins
1:39
and central now this this facility is
1:43
shared with
1:44
multiple other restaurants and
1:47
organizations for
1:48
takeout and it does say pick up and take
1:50
out on the on there so i'm going to
1:52
maybe see if i can do
1:53
takeout which from what i read they are
1:55
not doing
1:56
any takeout now it's order only
2:00
and there's no signage that state white
2:01
castle so i'm hoping this works i'm
2:03
inviting you
2:04
to join me shall you notice this
2:07
automobile has a tomato on the side
2:10
that would not be from the burger place
2:12
food pickup and
2:13
takeout
2:20
it says 20 minutes oh it says 20 minute
2:20
parking food pickup only
2:22
and there are a few people kind of
2:23
waiting around over here as well
2:25
go to the front door see what's going on
2:33
wish i should go on the uber eats app
2:33
and see what the deal is is that 18
2:36
north dollars
2:42
after a lot of confusion not seeing it
2:42
on the uber eats app as stated it would
2:44
be
2:45
and not seeing it on the website i also
2:47
downloaded the white castle app
2:49
wasn't showing anything so i went in and
2:51
asked and they
2:54
say that everything is down at the
2:55
moment so there is
2:57
there the app is not working for the
2:59
orlando spots maybe there's a little bit
3:01
of a backup maybe it's a little too
3:03
popular or two people showing up
3:04
i also ask well when everything gets up
3:07
and running again
3:08
can i pick up the order myself they said
3:11
no you have to have it delivered
3:14
through either ubereats or a delivery
3:17
driver so i have to find a spot off-site
3:20
and they said it might take an hour or
3:21
so before that availability
3:23
possibly might even happen again so i
3:25
don't know
3:28
should wait it out or not just going off
3:30
of what the app is showing the closest
3:32
location that i can order from
3:34
all the way up in tennessee that might
3:37
be a little bit out of the delivery
3:38
radius and a little bit too far of a
3:40
commute for a driver so
3:42
that's not going to work and also using
3:45
the ubereats app this is what
3:47
is being shown here 170 restaurants
3:50
close to where i'm pinpointed
3:52
none of them are
3:55
are white castle maybe this will clear
3:58
up you know just
3:59
be patient for a little bit see what
4:00
happens but plenty of other options
4:03
but i am craving some white castle now
4:05
that's that's the whole point
4:07
i just overheard a gentleman in a white
4:10
castle outfit at the bay door said he
4:12
has 25 uber deliveries waiting so
4:15
yeah they're a little backed up if there
4:17
was any way i could
4:18
talk them and let me just do a pickup
4:20
order that would be
4:22
pretty dang awesome he said no but
4:25
stranger things have happened
4:28
all of these vehicles as far as i can
4:31
tell are all the
4:33
all delivery drivers attempting either
4:35
well some of them are a pastor buying
4:37
traffic
4:38
trying to get past the delivery drivers
4:40
so they're not doing any more orders
4:41
cooking any more food until all these
4:43
are
4:44
fulfilled that's that's the best i can
4:47
tell
4:48
it's a oh she has a crave pack
4:52
looks like they're they're bringing them
4:54
out you managed to get one
4:56
i did a crave case now you ordered yours
4:58
last night right
4:59
right any pickles so you ordered yours
5:01
online last night
5:02
yep because i tried to order it on my
5:04
now and the app is not working against
5:07
did you order on uber east or you
5:08
ordered for pickup um we ordered
5:10
actually on their website so you can you
5:13
can order on their website and pick it
5:14
up yourself and not have it delivered
5:16
yeah and from what i hear um until they
5:19
open the store over by the springs
5:21
this location will stay open okay so you
5:24
can eat them any time maybe i'll try to
5:25
do that yeah and
5:26
definitely add fries because those fries
5:29
the best ones all right i'm jealous
5:33
enjoy see us don't over eat and it ain't
5:36
even on ubereats no more
5:38
no no they have to have taken it all
5:40
that'd be too stupid for them to keep it
5:41
going
5:45
they don't even have it on their little
5:45
kiosk thing so you can check it out get
5:47
you a hamburger or something
5:53
that long yeah definitely see all of
5:53
these cars
5:55
and you know they paying everybody good
5:57
because everybody facebook like came
5:59
up and let it go
6:09
i don't know if this is if this is my
6:09
day for this just simply because
6:12
of the amount of uber drivers that are
6:13
waving people i'm talking to you
6:23
yeah they're gonna they're probably
6:23
gonna have the ubers get their food
6:25
first and then
6:26
yeah i don't know i might have to wait
6:28
to call it on this one
6:35
oh come on you guys had to know oh he
6:38
did but you know what no matter
6:40
i'm just a consultant so don't shoot the
6:42
messenger oh no no she's a messenger
6:45
but they have their own enormous demand
6:48
for their products
6:49
and no amount uh
6:52
it's difficult to control they need
6:54
their own facility they don't need to be
6:56
with nobody else
6:58
let's all give that feedback they want
6:59
to give them that
7:06
they're the pigs well they're opening it
7:06
you know in the spring down south and
7:08
then it'll be a whole different ballgame
7:10
where we've got new business in the
7:12
spring they've announced the date yet
7:14
but sometimes this spring down there
7:15
gives you a white castle yeah that's the
7:17
one i stopped by a little little earlier
7:20
we need our all i've heard about that
7:23
yeah
7:23
that's what you feel with turret city
7:26
over orlando we need our own
7:28
i hear that i've been in the process for
7:30
the white castle in disney for a while
7:32
now
7:33
yes it happened in the spring
7:40
thank you castle i'll just talk about my
7:40
castle i don't want to give up
7:42
i'm not the give up kind of guy
7:48
parking situation isn't getting much
7:48
better however inside
7:49
appears as if things are starting to
7:51
move a little bit some of the drivers
7:52
have cancelled their orders and picking
7:54
up for other establishments
7:55
but there are a couple of white castle
7:57
ones that are appearing
7:59
you know at the counter every once in a
8:01
while every every few minutes
8:03
so there's a little bit of movement not
8:05
a lot but a little bit of movement so
8:06
that's good
8:07
i'm being patient okay i'm continuing to
8:08
be patient as i wait
8:10
it could it could happen if it doesn't
8:14
there'll be another time
8:22
i see more bags being uh delivered there
8:22
on the counter this could be a good sign
8:24
there's less people in here than they
8:25
were about an hour ago so that could
8:47
we love you anyway he does he's friendly
8:47
like he just wants a white castle burger
8:49
too
8:54
just talk to a guy that came out that he
8:54
ordered last night but his
8:56
order was ready he said that he ordered
8:58
it on the app and when it is time for me
9:00
to order when that happens again
9:01
i will be able to look up the location
9:03
on the app right now that is shut down
9:05
but that's how he ordered it he is not a
9:07
delivery food driver
9:08
he ordered it for his personal self just
9:10
picked it up
9:11
and headed out so that's good news it
9:14
means if
9:15
the app comes back online for this
9:17
location
9:18
should be able to order and pick it up
9:20
from here without it being delivered i
9:22
can have it delivered i can just go down
9:23
the block and have them deliver it down
9:24
to the street corner but either way
9:26
i'm hopeful crossing crossing my fingers
9:28
see what happens
9:29
and at this point it's already 12 30
9:32
it's i'm already
9:33
over two hours into this excursion
9:36
that's part of the reason i'm not i'm
9:38
not giving up it's kind of like you're
9:39
already you've already passed the point
9:41
of no return you just gotta
9:43
just see what happens i feel like this
9:46
is just kind of like deja vu i just keep
9:48
coming in and out just like hoping that
9:49
there will be some sort of change
9:51
clear out some of the drivers and
9:52
they'll let me order
9:54
i think there's like they said they're
9:55
like 40 or 50 different
9:57
restaurants that cook out of here
10:04
you gotta order through uber eats they
10:04
say
10:06
i know i'm i'm having a hard time too
10:17
current time about 1pm i'm noticing
10:17
there are quite a few bags back there
10:18
that are ready that no one is claiming
10:20
they keep calling for them but they're
10:22
just kind of sitting there on the the
10:23
shelf
10:25
that's clear it's still cleared out a
10:26
bit there's not quite a congregation of
10:28
folks waiting on the
10:30
their white castle here i'm saying white
10:32
castle a lot of us hoping it would be
10:34
like beetlejuice and it'll just make it
10:35
happen
10:36
another update i just asked the
10:38
assistants at the counter over there
10:40
and they said what's your order number i
10:42
said i haven't been able to place an
10:43
order and i said i'll just keep being
10:44
told that possibly there'll be a chance
10:46
that the app will come back online they
10:48
said maybe it wasn't really the best
10:50
vote of confidence maybe
10:52
but it may be better than a no but it
10:54
wasn't the best vote of confidence most
10:56
positive maybe hopefully
10:58
that they said but you never know maybe
11:04
now they're saying two hours from now
11:06
it's currently 1 33
11:08
and they told me at 10 00 and 30 am it
11:10
was going to be an hour
11:12
and now at 12 30 they're saying another
11:14
two hours i did ask
11:16
and if i could get one of the bags that
11:19
were back there
11:20
that has been cancelled by the uber
11:22
drivers and they kind of entertained
11:24
that idea
11:25
and i'm hoping that maybe they just give
11:26
me one of the cancelled ones so
11:29
hopefully if that doesn't happen then
11:30
i'm just gonna just gonna call it
11:47
i knew if i waited long enough and had
11:47
patience
11:48
that they would give me one of the
11:51
orders that were
11:53
stopped the uber drivers did not take or
11:55
a lot of uber drivers were here and left
11:57
and they said you know you've been
11:58
waiting a long time they saw me sitting
12:00
there after the entire place
12:02
cleared out and they they gave me a
12:05
crave case
12:06
30 sliders that was a bold move for me
12:10
waiting this long
12:11
but i did it oh my gosh i
12:14
freaking got a crave case
12:17
yes drove a mile or two to dartmouth
12:21
park where there's a picnic table
12:24
here yeah this work or
12:27
picnic table here it is now currently 2
12:31
p.m about a three and a half hour i was
12:34
waiting there well
12:35
three hours a little over three and this
12:37
is
12:39
what we're dealing with i gave you a
12:40
little peek there little tilties
12:42
any 30 slider save time order online
12:45
that is not true
12:46
online orders were halted there was no
12:49
way to order any
12:51
at this at that time frame and i'm
12:53
pretty sure the rest of the day that
12:54
wasn't going to be the case i don't
12:55
think they were ever going to
12:57
let the mobile ordering take place i
13:00
don't even know what these are i would
13:01
assume they are just the hamburgers they
13:03
may be cheeseburgers
13:05
let's see maybe they're our mix oh look
13:07
okay
13:08
i thought they were gonna be okay
13:10
they're connected here
13:12
almost like a love bug almost let's see
13:14
what they are let's open
13:15
up hold on let me do this they are
13:18
oh yeah look at this it's got some
13:21
cheese on it there
13:23
it's got some pickles okay this is just
13:25
a full on
13:26
white castle cheeseburger i probably
13:30
should have gotten a bottle of water out
13:31
of the back of my car
13:33
now there were no fries there were no
13:35
drinks
13:37
can't be a chooser when you're just
13:39
pretty much handed
13:40
whatever is there and they're a little
13:42
mushy
13:43
but they are still warm
13:57
dang it's been a long time since i had
13:58
a hamburger from this place i am very
14:00
stubborn
14:01
i'm very driven i don't give up easily
14:04
this is not some major accomplishment
14:06
this isn't going to change the world
14:08
or change my life in any way however i
14:11
did contemplate
14:12
on giving up a couple of on a couple of
14:14
occasions throughout the course of the
14:16
early
14:17
morning into the early afternoon not
14:19
early morning but the morning
14:20
leading up to noon and then to the early
14:22
afternoon but i said heck it
14:24
i am not giving up on this i am going to
14:26
i am going to see what happens if i wait
14:28
it out and it worked out good
14:36
number i'm gonna have some leftovers
14:36
which is awesome too pop back in the
14:45
microwave
14:45
good old white castle now crystals is a
14:47
thing
14:48
there there aren't even that many
14:50
crystals around here anymore but florida
14:52
is kind of known for crystals not fairly
14:55
for white castle
14:56
a white castle is back i knew it was
14:59
going to be a challenge
15:00
when i when i started off didn't think
15:02
it was going to be that difficult
15:05
i was going to order uber eats and have
15:07
it delivered maybe to like a park or
15:08
something like this
15:10
i mean i realized there was pickup
15:11
realized that all that had been halted
15:13
shut down
15:15
and it worked out good yes there's
15:17
someone over there
15:19
sitting on that porch looking over there
15:20
thinking where the heck did you get
15:22
this you want this don't you
15:27
they're driving off now
15:30
i know they were sitting there lurking
15:32
thinking
15:34
i didn't realize there were white
15:35
castles in florida that's what they
15:37
weren't
15:38
well there were in the past but they've
15:39
been closed for a heck of a long time
15:41
they are they are doing their triumphant
15:43
return
15:55
just as good as i remember remember them
15:55
they have little clever sayings from the
15:57
back of them try to eat a slider
16:00
like a t-rex
16:07
i had my doubts i had my serious doubt
16:07
that i was going to have to delete all
16:08
this or make a video just stating
16:10
that i had failed you had failed
16:14
and failed myself for not the last time
16:22
and just when i think about my luck was
16:22
running out boom
16:35
little teeny tiny hamburgers they've got
16:35
cheese some onions i like pickles i'll
16:38
do all my pickles
16:39
i like pickles i just just to write the
16:41
small pickle on this little small burger
16:44
is good i've got 30 sliders here i could
16:48
share
16:56
there's a few people way over there but
16:56
i'm not giving away my secret of the
17:09
these will be available in future days
17:09
leading up to they say spring
17:14
which is right around the corner looking
17:15
at the construction of what is going to
17:17
be the world's
17:18
largest white castle returning here to
17:21
florida but the world's largest will be
17:22
here that massive structure
17:24
they were doing construction on till
17:26
then you can do it
17:27
you can order mobile orders once it's
17:29
all reinstated today was
17:32
did not go fluidly but a big thank you
17:35
to the people who worked at the ghost
17:37
kitchen for
17:39
gifting me this box after i had waited
17:41
for so long
17:43
i didn't even place the order so i paid
17:44
nothing for this has nothing really to
17:46
do with white castle it is the ghost
17:48
kitchen who white castle places all the
17:50
items there
17:50
but they were such a backup of those
17:52
uber each drivers
17:54
that a lot of them canceled the order
17:56
and left
17:57
just so they could make their money by
17:59
doing smaller orders
18:00
instead of wasting all day sitting
18:03
around to deliver one box which makes
18:04
sense
18:05
so virtu by virtue of patience which
18:09
i do not have a lot of patience i'm more
18:10
stubborn let's just say
18:12
worked out in my favor
18:17
sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't
18:17
i'm going to eat like one or two more of
18:18
these i'm going to be uncomfortably full
18:20
but i've earned it going all day without
18:22
even a snack
18:24
now i'm having a snack my lunch
18:28
and an early dinner all at the same time
