Part 3/11:
After basting the patty with seasoning and broiling it, a simple assembly of the patty, along with toasted bread and some basic toppings, recreates this piece of history. The taste evokes nostalgia; critics appreciate its simplicity but feel it could benefit from contemporary additions like cheese or sauce. Rating: 7/10 for being delightfully retro yet in need of an upgrade.

The 1920s saw the emergence of White Castle, responsible for the invention of the slider priced at just five cents. This decade’s burger preparation was innovative, demanding a unique scoring method of the beef patties and the use of dehydrated onions. The process involved steaming the patties, a method that critiques suggest makes the burger seem less appealing visually.
