THE WHITE CASTLE SLIDER (A Historical Context to the Original Regional Franchise) --- Please checkout my hamburger page - @paperhathamburger The slider is the oldest and most resembling of our current hamburger and has existed for over 100 years. Today, sliders are considered a small hamburger. But, in the early days of hamburgers all hamburgers were this size. The term slider comes from either their ability to slide quickly down your throat or, how cooks' slid paper plates full of hamburgers along the front counter. The slider being born out of the need to cook more hamburgers in a shorter amount of time. Typically being 1.5 to 2oz, this allowed the patties to cook incredibly fast thus producing more patties for the lines of workers standing outside during lunch hour. White Castle steams their square patties on top of a layer of diced onions spread across the griddle. A white squish bun placed on top of the hamburger meat in order to soak up the aroma of that beef/onion mixture before being plated on a paper plate. White Castle began in the city of Wichita, Kansa (1921) and is the world's first chained hamburger restaurant. At this time the 4 to 12 stooled hamburger stands were considered "dirty food" for "wage earners" partially as a result from Upton Sinclair's book "The Jungle" and its portrayal of the harsh exploitative conditions of the American meat packing industry. The founders of White Castle Billy Ingram and Walter Anderson attempted to rebrand the faltering Hamburger restaurant industry. They choose the word "White" to convey cleanliness and "Castle" for strength. The First White Castle was a porcelain fortress with the staff wearing all white. As White Castle helped change the direction of hamburgers, hundreds, maybe thousands, of imitations grew out of dirt overnight - White Tower, White Diamond, White Clock, ect - blanketed the Midwest. Today there is nearly zero other "White" burger stands who have survived. White Castle is still privately owned and many hamburger restaurants continue to imitate the original hamburger chain.
