Slider sandwiches

Slider sandwiches are small, bite-sized sandwiches, typically served on a soft, mini hamburger-style bun. They are most commonly filled with a small beef patty, but variations can include pulled pork, chicken, or even fish, often topped with pickles, onions, and cheese. This classic American fare is believed to have originated at a hamburger stand in the 1920s in Ohio.
