When I think of a hamburger calling itself a slider I think of White Castle. I like small burgers because it makes me feel like I am a giant. You can pick it up with one hand and shove the whole thing in your mouth. There are no White Castles here so imagine my excitement when I saw that two large chain restaurants have new menu items that they bill as sliders or big bites. I went to both restaurants to try them out. First, I went to Chili’s. The menu shows four tiny burgers on four tiny little buns. I ordered it. What did I get? One large burger cut into quarters. That is not a slider. It wasn’t even what was pictured on the menu. There were no tiny round patties with round buns. Just a hamburger cut into four pieces held together with a toothpick. Next stop was Friday’s. They have a few types of sliders. I ordered the Tennessee BBQ slider. The menu shows two small burgers. What I actually got was one hamburger on one bun. The bun had two toothpicks in it. Just because you have two toothpicks in it doesn’t make it two burgers. They didn’t even try to make it look like the picture on the menu. I had to take my knife and separate the burger and I separated the two halves like a skilled surgeon separating a set of Siamese twins. Cut in half it still didn’t look like the picture. Two restaurants. Two burgers. Two days of disappointment.
