Little burgers are big business on Artesia, where locally owned Slider Stop has inventive ideas about fast food. If you’ve ever had the experience of being served a mammoth burger and being tired of the flavor when you were halfway through it, they have the solution: get two or three little ones. Their “chicken dinner” slider puts a fried chicken meal on one bun; the Euro with a beef patty, quail egg, bacon, and mornay sauce entwines French tradition; and American burgers and the turkey burger’s black beans, salsa, and avocado remind us just who first domesticated that bird. There’s even a dessert marshmallow crunch slider with peanut butter and granola. Slider Stop is making quick meals that are not just cheap and fast but varied and fun. Nobody else is close to doing what they do.
