Would you like goat cheese on yours, sweets?

I thought both WC and Krystal came with nose hair standard.

IIRC, McD never "grilled" their burgers. My childhood memories, back when an individual location was much smaller and most of the kitchen was viewable from the outside, are of burgers on a large griddle, similar to what one might use to cook pancakes.

I misspoke, but I remember that too and "griddle" is what I meant. My burger patty didn't look or taste freshly griddled (one of the advantages to special-ordering has always been that my burger requires custom-assembly and typically it always comes out hotter and fresher than my husband's). No brown edges, no tasty grease.

Okayfine, you win. I know better than to pick a fight with you! (Don't mess with ... )

I've tried both "sliders" - Krystal and White Castle. White Castle is the clear winner here. And here are the partial results of a fast food survey re "calorie cost".

14. Cheeseburger Slyder

White Castle
Cost per 100 calories: 41 cents
Calories: 170
Calories from fat: 47%

At 41 cents per 100 calories, White Castle's snack-sized cheeseburger bested every other sandwich in our survey when it came to cost per calorie. In 1930, White Castle conducted a study (it later dubbed it the "Craveology" study) that monitored the health of a student who lived on nothing but the Slyders and water for 13 weeks. According to the company, the student maintained good health. Barbara Baron, a New York registered dietician, says you probably don't want to follow suit. "I wouldn't advise anyone to eat only one food item for 13 weeks," she says.

You moved and went over to The Dark Side.

I've always toyed with it, you know.

You are correct in your conclusion but miss the mark in your terminology. Krystals don't slide. That's the feature that gives WCs their special character.

However, White Castle's corporate effort to capture the word and render it trademarkable with the "y" ("Slyder") is just silly.

While they may be somewhat lacking in the glissade department, I do not find them all that slide challenged. The will slip down. And, of course, since they are sold in the South a half-cup of bacon fat is never more than arm's length way. Use it as a chaser.
