White Castle made the difficult decision to refrain from having customers dine in its restaurants and instead are introducing the “Love Cube.” The hot pink Love Cube meal for two includes eight Cheese Sliders, two small soft drinks and a choice of two shareable sides. Move over chocolate! Although this may not be a fine dining experience pictured in movies, we found what White Castle is doing to be quite adorable and note worthy.
