It's a little more P.C. than "BFT"...

Oh come on...the conversation has turned to burgers, and no one has mentioned White Castle yet???

Pick up one of these, with one or two friends, maybe a few sacks of fries or chicken rings, and you're set. Nothin' like 'em.

Well, not really. Sliders are more of an appetizer, at least when eaten in quantitites of less than a dozen. But it's always best to buy 'em where they haven't cleaned the grill in a couple of decades.

Anyone remember when they cost 17 cents the each?

You call that a burger? Come to Cheeburger-Cheeburger and have the pounder. At 20oz it's enough meat to feed a small country!
