Burger Week is here. It's debatable whether sliders are really burgers or miniature abominations, but if you're a fan, here are some Boston options to try.

There are several reasons to seek out sliders. For starters, they make a great snack for a crowd. It could be a portion thing, a splitting thing, or the desire to try many things on the menu when a full burger would put you over the top. Or maybe, for that one minute in time while holding a slider, you want to feel like a giant. The craving may also come from no reason at all.

Whatever the reason for your slider desire, here are 12 local places that offer a healthy mix of tiny options.

Patty Melt Sliders: While there are salads, appetizers, and entrees, the main draw at this Medford establishment, as suggested by the restaurant's very name, is the patty melt sliders. There are five varieties, such as the original (American cheese, ketchup, and dill pickles) and the Californian (havarti, avocado mayo, and a marinated tomato). [Photo: Facebook]
