“We have a plan. We just don’t know what it is yet.” – Quinn Mallory
Not in this case, Quinn, since the plan is to find the best slider in a parallel universe and the Relish GastroPub & Bar is a step in the right direction. The tender texture and delectable flavor of their lamb meat slider will definitely give everyone another reason to relax and have a great time, making this is truly an adventure that no one would easily forget.

Episode 3 – Lamb Mini Burgers ‘slambers’ make a slam dunk!
Image cutline: Relish serves up painstakingly-created Lamb Mini Burgers or ‘slambers’ for wayward travellers seeking a tasty treat.
In the search for the homeworld, the dynamic duo Rangelina sample sliders wherever they go. This week, things magically come together. The pair has yet to come across a more homely dimension.
Angelina: Relish GastroPub& Bar is all about sports, deals and comfort food. Catch a game on their screens, enjoy shots of Fireball which is frequently on special, or simply find food that makes you happy, like poutine!
Raj: I think we’re in luck, I learned from General Chee in the last dimension that the number ‘8’ was lucky. According to my handy dandy positioning computer, Relish is located at 888 Nelson Street, and we’re definitely getting lucky tonight!
A: Lucky as in having sliders! They’ve focused their energy on creating one spectacular type, ‘slambers!’
R: … ah, local lamb cheeks braised for two hours in a red wine and lamb stock reduction…
A: WAIT! The best part is the Choux bun – it’s like a mini éclair with salt and rosemary added to give it a savoury flavour.
R: On one side of the lamb cheeks Chef Dan Kushner has strategically placed a goat cheese Dijon spread and on the other, a mint mayonnaise, then he addsthe mouth-watering Choux bun to make it complete.
A: This is the perfect chemistry for a slider in just a single bite. That’s right, it’s a mini-mini slider, slightly larger than a Toonie, but just as satisfying as the big guys.
R: You’re only satisfied because they serve five on a plate for ten dollars. What they really should be doing is boxing them up and selling them by the dozen, they’d make a mint.
A: Mary had a little lamb, now you can have one too! …at Relish.
Editor: The ‘slamber’ is such a treat at Relish we can’t see it going anywhere. We mustn’t forget about the less-fortunate Chinese buns facing exile from last week’s article. Only you can help decide their fate. Let them know @GoldFishKitchen on Twitter and make sure to use the hashtag #savetheporkbun.
