Next up on our tribute to all things small: sliders at Island Creek Oyster Bar. Not your standard beef sliders, these crispy sliders are made of Island Creek Oysters, lime and chili aioli, sandwiched in a brioche roll. After a few glasses of champagne on a gorgeous, sunny Saturday afternoon, these sliders were exactly what we needed. Ev, Kate, Div and I were silent for a good 5 minutes as we tried to take the smallest bites possible to prevent the flavors from ever ending. Alas, they did, and we were sad to see them go so quickly. I could have easily put down a few more of these. ICOB, we will be back.

It's the Little Things
I've made it perfectly clear how I feel about 21A's sliders (check out http://sandwich-hands.blogspot.com/2011/04/10-things-i-hate-about-you.html if you haven't already!), but I recently had the opportunity to try two extraordinary sliders in the most unexpected places. One was at East Meets Northeast in Inman Square. This tapas-inspired modern Chinese restaurant has a rare find on its menu - a pork belly slider. It's hidden under the "breads" section of their menu and reminded us of BBQ pork buns you would get at dim sum…only better. The bread is actually a steamed bun, extremely soft to the touch. It is cut in half and filled with crispy pork belly, daikon and a sweet bean paste. The slider literally melts in your mouth and has the most intense flavors. We couldn't stop at just one, and neither will you.

Babes in Burgerland
After reading my 10 Things I Hate About You blog on 21A's sliders, my friends admitted that they had never even tried them. Appalled, I met them at 21A after work for sliders and beers. Here are some truly extraordinary (and preposterous) photos of them enjoying their first bites.

10 Things I Hate About You
Dear 21A's Sliders,
10. I hate that you go straight to my hips
9. I hate when your juices run down my hands and drip to my clothes
8. I hate your stupid little pickles that fit inside those mini buns perfectly
7. I hate that exquisite crunch you have when I place those crispy onion rings right on top of the burger
6. I hate that I can eat you all up in just a few bites
5. I hate that Russian dressing you come with that makes you delectably creamy
4. I hate that no other slider will ever compare to you
3. I hate that you’re so damn adorable; I sometimes think you might be too cute to eat
2. I hate that I usually need to share you with my friends
1. And most of all I hate that I never want to put you down. You are the perfect little composite of a mouth-watering burger that I would order over the real 21st burger any day of the week.
Bites and Kisses XO
