I'd always scoffed at the idea of white castles, but since I tried them recently, I understand their allure. They probably coined the term "slider" too, right? There's a place in Berkeley (Larry Blake's if yer reading this EBJ) that serves little burgers called sliders, and I never understood that either until now.
Denny's has "sliders," too. It's a 1 pound burger on an oblong bun that they cut into sixths, topped with mustard & grilled onions, served with a mound of Onion Rings.
In the San Diego Gaslamp Quarter there's a place called Confidential that serves mini Angus burgers with carmelized onions, Thai Pickles, Dijon Mustard & Gruyere Cheese on grilled French Bread; Lamb sliders that're "perfumed with Indian spices and doused with yogurt sauce and mango chutney"; and a Duck Confit slider (!) that's like Slow-cooked pulled pork piled on a tiny Hawaiian sweet bread bun topped with a honey rum glaze and moo shu ketchup!
