Albuquerque Pastors Go To White Castle

So it was our lunch break time at Together For The Gospel. When you have 5000 people trying to eat at the same time things can be a bit congested in the eating establishments within walking distance from the convention center. So our newest hire at the church, Clint, certainly trying to score some brownie points tried to impress us all and found a Subway that was near, but kind of off the beaten path so potentially would have much smaller lines than the ones you can see in the food court pics in the post this one.

Here is the Subway Clint found:


They had a horse statue out front.


Memo tried to mount it.

Unfortunately the line was super long. I wondered aloud, "I bet there might be some other places around here". The team sent me on a mission to find a place with no lines. I walked a block or two and found a couple of choices: White Castle and the somewhat scary run down Chinese place. I called the guys on the z-phone and told them to come down. I was leaning toward the Chinese place since I am from the Midwest where we actually have White Castle. When it comes to White Castle one word comes to mind: BARF. These poor brothers from ABQ had not been exposed to the "glories" of White Castle and so they were just thinking, "Burger and Fries? Sounds good to me!" They had no idea what they were getting themselves into. I tried to sway them, but to no avail.

Pictures tell a thousand words:


I challenged Clint to eat one of his burgers in one bite. He did:


YUMMY!!!


The face says it all:


Can you say false advertising?


Noteable Quotables from our lunch:

1. "You call this food?"

2. "Is meat supposed to have holes in it?"

3. "You mean people actually like this stuff?"

4. "My bread is wet, is that normal?"

5. "This is the nastiest thing I have ever eaten."

6. "I wouldn't feed this to my Compassion child."
