                        RECOGNIZING WHITE CASTLE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEVE STIVERS

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 24, 2014

  Mr. STIVERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize White Castle, a 
family-owned hamburger chain based in my district, for being the 
creators of Time Magazine's ``Most Influential Burger of All Time.''
  Since White Castle opened in 1921 in Wichita, Kansas, White Castle 
has revolutionized the fast food industry. White Castle's signature 5-
holed square patty has skyrocketed the company's popularity, developed 
an almost-cult following of self-proclaimed `Cravers' and resulted in 
White Castle becoming the first hamburger chain to sell one billion 
hamburgers.
  A little over a decade after its first store opened, White Castle 
moved its headquarters

to Columbus, Ohio--where it has resided for the last 80 years. This 
trailblazing company has provided hundreds of jobs in the great state 
of Ohio, as well as in Ohio's 15th Congressional District.
  Today, White Castle is more than a hamburger chain. White Castle is 
now an experience which people from across the country and across the 
world travel great distances to get their hands on.
  I offer my congratulations to White Castle for their years of success 
and their designation as having the ``Most Influential Burger of All 
Time'' by Time Magazine. Ohio's 15th District, the Buckeye State and 
Cravers across the nation have loved the first billion sliders and look 
forward to one billion more.
