As mentioned in our last post, Team Madden has already issued a challenge to their competitors claiming that they will represent the "best of the best" with their meatball sliders. However, Bon Appetit guests will be presented with two more slider options when casting their votes for the night's best dish.
So what is a slider anyway? A quick Google search led to a brief history lesson on the Burger Blog at Cheese-Burger.net. Apparently credit for these delightful mini-burgers is due to Walter Anderson, founder of the White Castle fast food chain, who wanted to keep his costs down. He accomplished this by serving a tiny burger cooked in a particularly cost effective way. Although you can find frozen White Castle sliders at a few local retail establishments, we recommend you sink your teeth into the Bon Appetit competition instead and support needs-based scholarships for Walton College students. Allen Brumett (BSBA '00), owner of Fayetteville restaurant, Sassy's Red House,will heat up the competition with Sassy's sliced brisket sliders.
We hope you choose to come out and be a part of Walton College history and vote on your favorite slider. If you're already a fan of any one of these slider chefs and want to cast an early vote, e-mail ceiler@walton.uark.edu. Early voting tokens are $1 a piece and are a fully tax deductible contribution to the Walton College Alumni Society needs-based scholarship fund.
Don't forget to register for the event here. Registration is required.
Are you hungry yet?
