    What is a Slider?

    Depending on who you ask, a slider is either (a) a mini-hamburger, or (b) a mini-sandwich. Unless you ask Adam Kuban, who unequivocally defines and defends the original slider recipe:

    A slider is something very specific. It is not just a mini hamburger. It’s a thin, thin slip of beef, cooked on a griddle with onions and pickles piled atop patty. The steam from the onions does as much cooking as the griddle. The buns are placed atop the onions, absorbing the pungent aroma and flavor.

    Adam Kuban, Editor Emeritus, Serious Eats

    Personally, I prefer to use the broadest interpretation possible – a slider is a little bun with a yummy, mostly protein-based filling. However, while I may not agree with Mr Kuban on the defining points, I do have to give him some serious props: he has constructed what is probably the best copycat recipe around for traditional beef-n-onion sliders. 

    Who Made the First Slider?

    White Castle, generally credited as the country's first fast-food chain, also gets credit for inventing the original slider in Wichita, Kansas in 1921. Eleven years later, Krystal was founded in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

    In a modern-day Mason-Dixon fast-food standoff, Tennessee and Kentucky are the only two US states in which the two chains cross paths. (Awhile back, Mr B and I seized the opportunity to weigh in on The Great Slider Debate. Click through to read more!)

      I always thought of sliders as mini burgers or sandwiches and I haven't really thought about the whole debate about it. So long as the family enjoys them, it doesn't matter what they are called.

      I have only tried Krystal sliders. I have not had the chance to try White Castle. There isn't one anywhere near me. I have to say that the Krystal sliders to me are no that good. I am hoping that the White Castle ones are better.

      I really like the idea of adding coleslaw to a slider. The crunchy texture and creamy flavor take the meatiness up a notch.

      We don't have a Krystal here but I have eaten at them when visiting my family in Tennessee. Your post just reminded me of them and times we have shared! 🙂 I love sliders and making them for get togethers at my house. They are always a crowd pleaser and I love the different twists these recipes provide!

      Carolina girl here, and I know all about what you're talkin'. Sliders are the trendy snack lately, and southern sliders are really the best of the best. I'm from a town that is famous for barbecue so you can find some tasty barbecue sliders on the menu at a lot of places. These look delicious too!

      We use to always make an obligatory stop at Krystal when we would go to Tennessee for vacation! I'm much more of a fan for a big juicy slider like those Kentucky Hot Brown Sliders!

      Thanks for sharing the recipes 🙂

      I don't think I've ever had either brand of sliders, but fried chicken sliders are my thing and I could eat several in one sitting!
