San Antonio Demands Equal Rights for Tiny Burgers, Cites Alamo Precedent
San Antonio is not amused. When White Castle announced its first Texas location in The Colony, Alamo City residents felt betrayed. After all, San Antonio is home to the Alamo, the Spurs, and the proud tradition of standing in long lines for food festivals. Why should The Colony—a suburb that sounds more like a gated HOA than a city—get the first sliders?
Local activists have formed “Remember the Slider,” a coalition demanding equal burger rights. Their manifesto cites the Alamo as precedent: “If men once stood their ground for freedom, we can stand our ground for onion-steamed equity.”
At a recent protest, tiny picket signs were handed out—roughly slider-sized. Protestors chanted, “No castle without Alamo!” A historian from UTSA chimed in: “Technically, the Alamo was also a kind of castle. This is a case of architectural burger injustice.”
The City Council is already drafting a resolution. “If The Colony gets sliders, San Antonio gets double,” said one councilwoman, adjusting her Fiesta medal. She also hinted at renaming the River Walk to the “Slider Stroll” if demands aren’t met.
Meanwhile, eyewitnesses at the Alamo report tourists confusing the two landmarks. “We came here for burgers,” said a family from Nebraska. “Turns out, this was just some old church.”
San Antonio’s ultimatum is clear: White Castle must either open a second fortress on the River Walk or prepare for the first Tiny Burger Secession Crisis in Texas history.
