"Our legions of Cravers are loyal and passionate fans of the steam-grilled-on-a-bed-of-onions taste," said Jamie Richardson, vice president of White Castle. "As a testament to White Castle's dedication to Craver Nation and our commitment to innovation, we are asking Cravers to put their culinary skills to the test by creating a unique approach to the Slider."

Contestants must invent a new recipe incorporating 10 White Castle Original Sliders® purchased from the restaurant or in the frozen foods section of a local grocery store. It is required that all recipes include meat, onions and buns. Pickles and cheese are optional. A winner will be announced in November.

A panel of trained culinary professionals chosen by White Castle will review and taste the recipes. The judges will select the top three recipes to be voted on by Cravers. The top three recipes will be posted on the Craver Nation website Oct. 7-28. Friends and family members are encouraged to join Craver Nation and vote.

Recipes will be judged on the following criteria:

Presentation
Taste
Best Use of Product
Originality
Culinary Correctness – A recipe that can be replicated by our chef

If a Craver's dish is deemed the most Crave-worthy recipe, the winner will receive an exclusive grand prize appearance in a video with White Castle's executive chef, a trip to visit the White Castle headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, along with one Crave Case® filled with Original Sliders® every week for a year. That's 1,560 Original Sliders®. If the winner does not live near a White Castle restaurant, the prize will include $1,000 worth of Frozen Sliders.
