To celebrate the start of the Masters tournament, an [Arby's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbys-2) location in Augusta, Georgia, is offering a limited-edition Pigmento Cheese Slider. Pimento cheese is a staple in the South and it has quickly become one of Augusta National's most popular concession-stand items. Now Arby's is putting its own spin on the beloved sandwich with a tasty new slider.

The Pigmento Cheese Slider is a new dish offered at a single Arby's location in Augusta, Georgia. The sandwich itself consists of [pimento cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pimento-cheese-side-dish) from Palmetto Cheese and a strip of pepper bacon served on a tiny slider bun. The sandwich is available only a short walk from [Augusta National Golf Club](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/southern-blossom), making it a delicious snack option for golf fans.

The sandwich will only be available between April 4th and April 10th, meaning fans will have to act quickly to get their own Masters-themed snack.
