Sliders, 2017

Culinary

The Second Installment of Omni Originals

As a nod to National Hamburger Month, we created an exclusive slider and beer menu that was available at our hotels and restaurants during May 2017. The menu highlighted regional favorites like a classic All American Slider, a New England Lobster Slider, a Texas Slider, a Nashville Hot Chicken Slider and a D.C. Crab Cake Slider. As part of our partnership with New Belgium Brewing Company, each slider was paired with a craft beer that complements its unique flavor.
