Bite-Sized Corn Dogs

These Miniature Corn Dogs are the Latest Addition to the White Castle Menu

— July 16, 2015 — Lifestyle
Popular burger chain 'White Castle' recently expanded its summer menu to include miniature corn dogs. The new 'Corn Dog Nibblers' turn the classic batter-covered hot dog dish into a sweet bite-sized treat.

The Corn Dog Nibblers consists of tiny hot dogs, which are made from white chicken meat. The meat is then covered in a deep-fried coating of sweet honey cornbread. Alongside the miniature corn dogs, White Castle is also introducing a number of other bite-sized treats. One of these addition items is the Shrimp Nibblers, which feature butterfly shrimp enveloped in a crispy coating. The other menu addition is the Mac & Cheese Nibblers, which consists of cheddar cheese and macaroni stuffed inside of a crisp cheddar coating.

The new Nibblers will be available for a limited time only at participating White Castle locations.
Trend Themes
1. Bite-sized Foods - The popularity of miniature versions of classic dishes, like corn dogs, presents an opportunity for innovative food companies to create bite-sized versions of their own popular products.
2. Expansion of Summer Menus - As White Castle expands their summer menu to include bite-sized treats, other restaurants could capitalize on this trend by introducing their own miniature dishes and seasonal offerings.
3. Innovative Coating Techniques - The use of unique coatings, like sweet honey cornbread and crispy cheddar, on bite-sized foods can inspire other food manufacturers to experiment with innovative coating techniques for their products.
Industry Implications
1. Fast Food - Fast food chains, like White Castle, can take advantage of the trend for bite-sized foods by offering a wider variety of miniature options on their menu.
2. Food Manufacturing - The expansion of miniaturized food items, such as corn dogs, presents an opportunity for food manufacturers to create and sell ready-to-eat bite-sized products in retail stores.
3. Restaurant Chains - Restaurant chains can participate in the trend for bite-sized foods by introducing miniature versions of their signature dishes, attracting customers who are looking for quick, small bites.
