Just four months after launching the 1921 Slider, White Castle has introduced two new variations to the burger that has proven to be a favorite among customers. The 1921 BBQ Bacon Slider and 1921 Ghost Slider will be on the fast food chain’s menu through the end of November.
Both offerings feature thick, juicy 100% beef patties topped with lettuce, pickles, a slice of Roma tomato, and grilled caramelized onions served on White Castle’s signature bun. The 1921 BBQ Bacon Slider also features bacon, smoked cheddar cheese and Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey BBQ Sauce. For those who crave the heat, the 1921 Ghost Slider includes a slice of ghost pepper cheese, a creamy jack cheese infused with flakes of ghost peppers.
“We have been well known for slider innovations over the years, and these two new offerings reflect our desire to keep our crave-ability quotient going strong,” said Jamie Richardson, vice president at the Columbus, Ohio-headquartered company. “We think people are going to love these new twists to such a classic burger.”
The 101-year-old family-owned business introduced the 1921 Slider as a permanent menu item in late spring as a way to honor the burger that launched the fast food industry in the USA. In 1921, White Castle founder Billy Ingram had the idea of making a hamburger by pressing a beef meatball into a flat, circular patty, and later even invented an industrial strength spatula to press the meatball more easily on the grill. That’s how the iconic White Castle slider came to be.
