My friends and I had a discussion recently after a trip to Columbus about how woefully underrepresented fast food chains are in Pittsburgh.

We have neither a Krystal nor a White Castle!

No Skyline Chili.

Even Burger King is weirdly sparse, as is Popeyes (yes, I know they're around, but you have to make a point to go to them).

Would also love some Southern staples like Bojangles and Zaxby's.

For someone with 420 in their name, you sure are discerning about your snackage

When I was a kid in the 80s there was a White Castle by the north side end of the 16th street bridge, I don’t remember if it was open or already shut down at that point, but the building was there. I always thought it was cool, because it was shaped like a weird castle! I didn’t even know it was a burger place until years later.

That was a White Tower, not a White Castle. There was a White Tower at Craig & Centre too.

Ah! Thank you!
