Sliders

This isn't the type of food I usually eat, so perhaps I'm not the target demographic.

But what the hell's the deal with sliders? I can get 3 tiny hamburgers instead of one? Why would I do this?

I can think of 2 reasons for this. First, you are with 2 other people and none of you are very hungry. But you really want the taste of beef in your mouth. And really, who hasn't been in that situation.

The other way this works is actually a good reason--each slider is different. If you gave me 3 hamburgers (or veggie burgers as the case may be) and one had brie on it and another had blue cheese and other had grilled zucchini, that might be pretty cool.

But as is, you are ordering 3 tiny hamburgers with a dollop of ketchup and a pickle on it. Wow. Awesome.
