White Hut - West Springfield, MA

The White Hut is just down the road from Eastern States Exposition Park, where the Annual Big E fair is held in September. Every day is a burger festival in here!

The split bun is a New England tradition.  The White Hut toasts the outside until it is lusciously crisp.

It's heaps of caramalized onions that make White Hut burgers especially flavorful.

From its perfectly grilled bun to the subtle snap in each bite, this hot dog should not be overshadowed by its excellent cousin, the cheeseburger.

The hot dog in the foreground is on one of the surfaces where White Hut customers stand to eat.  In the background, stool-sitters can observe the grill man at work.
