Mini burgers, or sliders, are all the rage these days and shoppers were able to sample a local version in the Education Tent last weekend. Created by market shopper and volunteer Andy Hethcote, the burgers were aptly named firecracker sliders in the theme of Independence Day, with hot chile sauce providing the 'just beyond subtle' spiciness. Most of the slider ingredients can be found at the market, including ground beef, lettuce, red onion, eggs and feta cheese. Buy your ingredients at the market for a local rendition on traditional summer grilling!
