Ha! I figured "to the emergency room" would have been the first comical response!

Obviously, Courtesy Diner.

I've had slingers at the following locations:

Courtesy

Eat Rite

Hammerstone's

Soulard Cofee Garden

I'm sure you could find at least three more establishments that serve them.

I know Rooster downtown is supposed to make a pretty good non-traditional one. Someone mentioned Billie's Diner (people seem to like that place but I thought there food was pretty bland, great friendly service though)

Get the Yin Yang or the Toby at Tiffany's in Maplewood

He said Slingers, not White Castle burgers.

We gave my 18 month old part of a slinger while on the go (traveling home for Thanksgiving). Let's just say we now call them "colon blow" around the house.

Rooster has a great variation on the slinger--and is likely slightly less toxic than the others already mentioned...

Or you could try the Slinger Burger at The U... Burger topped with cheese, onions, fries, chili and a fried egg, mmmmm

If you don't mind driving to Columbia, MO, my absolute favorite is The Stretch at The Diner.

I've had a slinger at First Watch in Clayton, it was actually good but I think it's a special item not on the menu. The City Diner has a decent one. However, can't go wrong with the Courtesy! I wonder if the Buttery has slingers.

I once had White Castle and a slinger in one night

...Never again

Please let the forum know how this experiment works, I'm thinking it'll be like Super Size Me. By day 7, doctors will be telling you to stop!

I've always wondered why The Buttery doesn't have butter...

It's too bad Irv's on Vandeventer is no longer with us. Damn you, Botanical Garden!

Think of the caloric content of its menu, even without butter. Then think Sir Mix-a-Lot.
