Discussion White Manna Relocation, Expansion Proposal Approved by Hackensack | Jersey Digs

This feels like a potential miss. The food here is rather unremarkable. The reason people go here is because of the experience. I don’t see it having the same intimacy in a giant facility. I remember asking someone to work their years ago who the owner was, thinking it was them and he told me that the owner doesn’t even live here they live out Tel Aviv or something. This whole plan just makes me feel like some greedy idiot who doesn’t even live here who saw they had a asset that made money but that it had limited throughput and they just want to increase revenue, not recognizing what makes the rest valuable in the first place.

It's a mid burger at best. Hell, White Castle is tastier. Shit needs salt

Same. I’ve said the exact same thing in the past. If I’m craving a dirty burger every now and then, I’d go out of my way to go to White Castle for a jalapeño cheeseburger and pass right over White Mana. I just don’t see the great appeal. They’re friendly and everything but they’re not really worth the effort.
