Chicago - A message from the station manager

By White Castle

White Castle’s 10,000 team members will soon be sporting a new uniform designed specifically to commemorate the fast-food hamburger chain’s 100th birthday this year.
Created by renowned and award-winning New York City fashion line TELFAR, the new uniform collection includes a T-shirt, polo shirt, apron, visor and durag, all in light blue, royal blue or black. Each piece features the brand name “White Castle” with references to the iconic chain celebrating 100 years “and counting.”
The durag was added to the uniform collection in response to many White Castle team members who requested it. It’s the first time White Castle has offered the hair accessory and might be the first time any restaurant has done so.

We Have Questions

Another Beachwood Special Report

This started with a discussion of the physics of Fantasy Island. As many others have wondered, is Roarke a grifter, a deity, a techno-wizard? That led to this.
TIM: If the fantasies only lasted for the duration of the trip to the island, why didn’t Mr. Roarke make Tattoo taller? He never left the island, right?
STEVE: This is like, “When the Blues Brothers went to the diner to get that guy for the band, why didn’t they take Aretha instead?”
TIM: Yes! I can’t remember the comic who said: Remember that movie where Halle Berry was so poor that she had to become a prostitute? Why didn’t she just become a model?
