One of Adam's pet peeves is the way the term slider is bandied about with such reckless abandon that it encompasses almost any type of small sandwich, be it beef, pork or lobster, with no regard given to whether it was actually steamed.

Contestant Richard Sweeney took the misappropriation of the term to a new low last night on the season premier of Top Chef when he produced what he called lamb sliders for the elimination challenge. In fact, the two massive, grilled lamb burgers served on some very crunchy bread bore about as much relation to a slider as a gyro. Now I have nothing against riffs on traditional fare, even burgers, but don't call it a slider when it is grilled, made of lamb, and requires two hands to eat.
