Bad Buffalo at White Castle

Last week, I had the pleasure of lunching at White Castle in suburban Indianapolis with a colleague. The bacon cheeseburgers and fries were as good as they've ever been.

But the chain's Buffalo Chicken Bites (press release here) were just awful. Tragically, the sauce had just enough kick, but it coated an arid, supposedly fried, supposedly chicken, sawdust-like product. I couldn't have more than a few. And, sadly, they came with Ranch dressing, the fast food chain's answer to blue cheese's perishability problem.

Nice to see buffalo items in the chains, but we could do better.
