The Cozy Inn – Salina, Kansas
Sliders are popular in Central Kansas, and this one at The Cozy Inn in Salina is among the best. Since 1922, these little but onion-laden burgers have been produced. Surprisingly, this was also the year that White Castle opened in Wichita. These burgers were slid down the counter with waxed paper, giving rise to the term “sliders.” What’s more astounding is that one of these bad boys can be purchased for only five cents.
