In Northern New Jersey, sliders reign supreme. The tiny, 1oz patties smashed thin on a griddle, smothered with onions, and placed between steamed buns are a regional speciality that have been perfected at the Jersey City landmark, White Mana.
The history alone is worth the trip, which is why host Alvin Cailan invited Top Chef judge/host and fellow burger burger fanatic, Padma Lakshmi, to soak up some Jersey lore. Get to know the diner’s ties to 1939 World’s Fair, as well as its surprising connection to heavyweight champ Mike Tyson, from longtime owner Mario Costa. This is a piece of burger mythology you don’t want to miss.

Such a boring topic, burgers are nice because they’re fatty and salty that’s it. There’s no nuance to it, they’re either nice or they’re not. Hearing these people struggle to make this interesting is cringey af
So that's why they're called "sliders"?
That grill is soo low.
Him: I don’t eat vegetables
Her:* pretends to be surprised*
i like that whole ·old school feeling of that place, I love the "it hasn't changed in 40 years" stuff. and that guy looked like from a movie! hahaha, I'd love to go eat some burguers at that place, I would feel like in the 70s.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Joey Diaz knows Mario Costa.
Wow !! it's just me or she's a beauty !!!
