A Regional Dish indigenous to the St. Louis area. The basic things it consists of are hash browns, eggs, sausage, and chili. There are variations on this dish. One of the best places to have a slinger is at an Eat Right near downtown St. Louis just north of Soulard, MO. The place is a dive, but damn that slinger tastes good when you are three sheets to the wind. There are many other places I've had this fine dish, but the best have always been the biggest dives.
