Friday Night Sliders {TGIF}

Friday Night Sliders.  Because sometimes you just deserve a good burger!!

When it comes to food I’m all about the package, the delivery if you will.  So if there is a way to make a burger cute I’m all in.  We have White Castle to thank for the slider revolution.  And while their thin griddle-cooked patties have their place in history, they’re not my favorite.  Don’t hate me.

Instead I really love a plump juicy mini-cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, red onion, ketchup, mayo….and why not add some crispy bacon.

Side Note:  the best sliders I’ve ever experienced were served Tapas style, making them only slightly more affordable ($23 for two if I recall).  They were made from THE Japanese Wagyu Kobe Beef.  They were worth every penny.  Here’s a fun article on what makes Kobe beef so special.
