Itty-Bitty Burgers

Customers line up to order their sliders on a hot day in Burbank, CA.

It's the third week of visiting food trucks and today has been all about burgers. Today I visited Slammin' Sliders while it was in Burbank.

Slammin' Sliders menu.

Slider choices were not restricted to only beef burgers; instead, there were shrimp and lobster cake sliders plus pulled pork sandwiches  All of the beef sliders were made with Kobe beef, which is considered to be top-notch.

Mushroom swiss sliders.

                                                                                   I was really hoping that the menu would offer a sampler of some sort (because I wanted to try it all) but it didn't. I decided to order the mushroom Kobe sliders while my friend ordered the "original" cheeseburger sliders. Slider orders came with two mini-burgers and sliced pickles on the side. Side orders were not included but we still ordered jalapeno croquets (Croquets are also known as poppers). 

The sliders were really flavorful and filling, and the beef was really tender. The sauteed mushrooms on my burgers were to die for, seriously. If you are a huge mushroom fan I would strongly recommend ordering the sliders that are topped with them.

Mushroom and bacon cheese sliders and jalapeno croquets.

Other than that, the only downfall were the slider buns. They are not a deal breaker but I think that toasting, or at least heating, the buns would have improved the texture and taste of the slider as a whole.

Dipped jalapeno Croquet.

The jalapeno croquets were awesome! Crispy on the outside and soft and spicy on the inside. The dipping sauce also had a bit of a bite to it. They may have been too spicy for people with sensitive taste buds but, in my opinion, they were prepared just right. Another side note: If you are worried about calories or grease then I would not suggest getting these as a snack because they are pretty oily, but delish! Slammin' Sliders portions were overall generous and decently priced.

Coolers full of different soda.

There were no fountain drinks. Instead, the guys running the truck set up a couple of coolers directly in front of the parked truck and allowed customers to help themselves. 

We were particularly hungry today so we scarfed our food quickly on the sidewalk, washed it down with two Pepsis and took off.

Side note: A unique fact about Slammin' Sliders is that they are associated with a catering company called California Crazy Chef's Catering. The company is available to service your home, office, corporate, or fund-raising event. The phone number, e-mail and address are imprinted on the truck and can also be found on their website.
