White Castle, America’s first fast-food hamburger chain, has been an inspiration to artists and bands for decades. Next week, the home of The Original Slider will celebrate titans of the music industry by inducting three extraordinary Cravers into its exclusive Cravers Hall of Fame.
About 10 years ago, Tommy Shaw and band mates were at a banquet in Nashville where they were to receive a lifetime achievement award from the International Entertainment Buyers Association. It was an extravagant banquet with a menu perfectly commensurate with such nice events. Yet, Tommy and good friend Danny Zelisko weren’t satisfied.
Danny made a call to White Castle, disappeared for a moment and returned to the hotel ballroom with bellmen by his side carrying stacks of Crave Cases. Inside each were 30 perfect Cheese Sliders! The rest of the attendees immediately took notice and wanted in. Of the night, Tommy says, “The Crave was shared by all – it was unforgettable!”
