NEWS BRIEF: White Castle comes to Atlanta — but don’t get excited
Still only available in Atlanta freezers
Fans of the popular White Castle national burger chain are bemoaning the construction of a new building on Edgewood Avenue that turns out to be merely a film set. Work began last month on a vacant Sweet Auburn lot to erect the realistic yet fake eatery for the new Disney+ series Ironheart, a female-led Marvel Studios spinoff of Iron Man, according to Urbanize Atlanta.
The project "is going to look like a full-on White Castle inside and out,” said Johnny Martinez, co-owner of both Joystick Gamebar and Georgia Beer Garden nearby. “People are going to be super excited when they see it and then confused why they can’t get to it. Then they’ll be disappointed when it comes down.” White Castle was founded in Kansas in 1921 and has 377 locations in 13 states; the nearest one to Atlanta is in Nashville. Details: urbanize.city
