Love White Castle burgers but hate their too-teeny-tiny booths? What's a steamed steamed-burger fan to do? (See what I did there?)
Here's what one self-described "not humongous but a big guy" White Castle fan did: he sued 'em under the Americans with Disabilities Act!
A devoted, 290-pound White Castle fan is steaming mad at the fast-food chain, which he says repeatedly broke promises to make the booths in his local eatery bigger.
All stockbroker Martin Kessman wants is a place at the table. But when the 64-year-old walked into the White Castle in Nanuet back in April 2009 for his usual No. 2 combo meal, he got an unpleasant surprise.
“They’re stationary booths,” he told The Post. “I’m not humongous, [but] I’m a big guy. I could not wedge myself in.”
Mortified and in pain from smacking his knee into one of the table’s metal supports, Kessman limped out of the restaurant, and later penned a complaint to corporate headquarters.
And how did White Castle respond?
White Castle replied with three “very condescending letters” -- and an offer that added insult to injury.
“In each letter was a coupon for three free hamburgers -- but the cheese was extra!” according to a lawsuit Kessman filed last week in Manhattan federal court.
Cheese was extra? That alone is worth a lawsuit! Link (yes, with photo of the guy)

PS- I'm pretty tubby too, but I'm not suing anybody over something that was entirely my own fault.
Of course if he get bigger then 290, it will happen even quicker - so I don't think White Castle is thinking it thru when they're holding back on the free cheese.
This guy is a moron though. Good lord dude, just get it to go and eat it at home or in your car.
Officially (medically, though perhaps not legally) I'm classed as a 'giant' (which is awesome!) so perhaps that's a disability and I can sue?!
