One day, frustrated by his inability to handle meatballs on his griddle, Walt Anderson smashed one flat with his spatula. The pancake-like shape was infinitely easier to handle, and Anderson adopted the method moving forward. Maybe that’s why Time named the White Castle Slider the most Influential Burger of All Time in 2014.

When Anderson started flipping burgers in Wichita, KS in 1921, he created the industry standard low-cost, fast prep burgers’ on-demand business model. The end result was a ringing success, leading them to start opening shops outside of Wichita as early as 1922. Even though fish and chip stands had existed in England since the 1860s, White Castle was the first American establishment to catch on.

Upton Sinclair’s 1906 muckraking novel, The Jungle, exposed the harsh working conditions and unsanitary standards in meat-packing facilities, leaving a sour taste in America’s mouth.

Because the Crave is so damned powerful, White Castle created a hugely successful “Burgers to Fly” program in the mid-’80s. No matter where you were in the US, they would deliver frozen sliders to your door within 24 hours. While it sucks that they don’t deliver anymore, the service paved the way for the freezer-aisle sliders that can help satisfy cravings.
