I feel like everything is going towards personal and small portion route these days right? There’s cupcakes instead of full slices of cake, flat breads instead of whole pizzas, tapas bars are all the rage…the list literally goes on and on! I for one am in total favor! We’re all guilty of order from the menu, getting a heaping portion, and then loving it so much that we over indulge! Belly up, bloated and overstuffed, ew. I’m loving the predetermined plate size that lets you be a little more discerning and cognizant of where and how calories are being consumed. My favorite of these bite size trinkets are hands down, sliders! Who doesn’t love a bite size burger that’s the exact same mouth watering taste that’s easier on the figure since it’s not the gargantuan mammoth we’re used to? I going to divulge my not so guilty pleasure that span to please every palate!
Tommy Bahama’s South Seas Scallop Sliders: Deliciously pan seared scallops with fresh basil, roma tomatoes, chipotle aioli and crispy “Tobacco” onions with Asian slaw.
Square 1 Burgers & Bar’s Chicken Sliders: Ground chicken burgers topped with provolone, sun-dried tomato mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato. Simple, succulent and satisfying! Served with homemade fries, steamed broccoli or homemade slaw.
Lee Roy Selmon’s Slow Cooked Brisket Sliders: Slow and sweet smoked beef brisket basted with sweet and tangybrisket sauce and topped with crunchy dill pickles and Classic Coleslaw.
Michael’s on East’s Rosas Beef Sliders: Traditional with dill pickle, yellow mustard and grilled onion. Sits on an artisan slider roll made by Il Panificio. The masterful meat comes from Rosas Farms where cows are grass fed. Served with Angel Hair Onion Rings that are garnished with basil and come with a smoky house ketchup made with tomatillos and toasted chilies.
Is your mouth watering yet?
