Food Fight: White Castle Cravers Dig the Coffee, Too

Coffee at the castle is tops in the coffee version of the Patch South County Food Fight poll.

No fancy lattes or cappuccinos here. Those who crave a burger often crave a White Castle slider, or even a sack of them and somer aslo crave the coffee. Who knew?

Flicking Footballs Brings Cash, White Castle Sliders to NFFL Winners

Maryland Heights White Castle hosts a regional National Finger Football League tournament with $2,500 for the national winner.

Jeff Fitzgerald will get a chance to play in Indianapolis during Super Bowl week. That’s more than the Peyton Manning-less Indianapolis Colts are likely to be able to say. Of course, Fitzgerald, of Fenton, will be playing for the National Finger Football League (NFFL) tournament sponsored by White Castle, not the Lombardi Trophy. He’s going to the national tournament after defeating Dan Diering of Maryland Heights, 19-6, in the St. Louis area tournament final game Saturday at the Maryland Heights White Castle on Dorsett Road. Now, he’ll travel to Indianapolis to play winners of tournaments in Chicago, New York, Cleveland, Minneapolis and other cities. “I was really surprised I won,” said Fitzgerald. “It was the first time I’d ever played …
