Sasebo is famous for being home to both American and Japanese naval bases, a peculiar but impressive Dutch theme park, a stripe-painted spinning top, the Kujuku Islands (99 islands) featured in the opening scenes of The Last Samurai, aaaaaand the Sasebo burger! This burger began appearing in town in the 1950's, unique for its bacon and fried egg. While Mom was visiting we had the most clever idea to make Sasebo sliders! We used Hawaiian sweet rolls, quail eggs, Kraft singles cut into quarters and shallots to construct our mini burgers.
Kris and I later made Sasebo sliders again and invited friends for a "mini themed" dinner party. There were mini chocolate chip cookies, mini milkshakes, mini strawberries, I wore a mini-mouse-esque polka dot shirt, but my very favorite interpretation of the theme was Kendall's; he wore a Maurice Jones-Drew jersey, the Jaguar's #32 running back who at the height of 5'7' is one of the shortest players in the NFL.
