White Castle<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Chicago, Illinois<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0The White Castle Restaurants\u00a0started in 1927, as the first one opened in Cincinnati, Ohio. \u00a0The first White Castle in Chicago was located at Wabash and Cermak, in 1930. The restaurant chain offered small hamburgers that sold for 5 cents until the 1940s. \u00a0The American\u00a0term for a small sandwich 3 inches across or smaller was called a “Slider”, which became a common term for a White Castle Burger.<\/p>\r\n

The original Chicago building has become a landmark, as the building has been restored to the original design but is no longer a White Castle restaurant.<\/p>\r\n

The painting was done in my early years, when I started exhibiting at the Chicago area shows. \u00a0It was a popular item, especially in the Midwest\u00a0area. \u00a0It was also included in my set of 4 Chicago prints, along with Billy Goat Tavern<\/a>, Superdawg<\/a> and Hot Diggity Dogs<\/a>, which were horizontal paintings. I added the Chicago Cubs panting later, but it was a vertical painting. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n
