With winter gone, it will soon be time for backyard grilling of burgers, dogs and other great food. But before you get going, you ought to make the rounds to some top spots in the Pioneer Valley and enjoy their specialty burgers and get some great ideas for your home cooking! Here are 5 Great Pioneer Valley burgers…
1. Katz & Daogs in Springfield – While this authentic New York deli has no shortage of reubens, corned beef and pastrami, you have to try their Savory Beef Melt. It’s shaved sirloin, sautéed onions and melted cheese grilled to perfection!
The White Hut burger.
2. White Hut in West Springfield – Serving up the legendary goods since 1939! The White Hut’s classic cheeseburger is made all the better for the sweet grilled onions that top it. They may make ‘em a bit smaller than most places, but it makes you feel less guilty about ordering two of them.
The BBQ Burger at Theodores'
3. Opa Opa Steakhouse & Brewery in Southampton – One of their most requested meals is the Jalapeno Pepper Burger, which features a burger smothered in cheddar jack cheese, jalapeno peppers, lettuce, tomato and onion. Something this wild and freewheeling fits right in with the fun crowd at Opa Opa!
4. Theodores’ Blues Booze & BBQ in Springfield – These guys know how to make a burger with zing! Try the BBQ Burger, which is an 8 oz. steak burger cooked to order and slathered with BBQ sauce. Then topped with cheddar, bacon and onion straws and served on a roll with lettuce, tomato and onion.
Mini Cheese Burgers at Plan B
5. Plan B in Springfield – Although new to town, these guys know their burgers! They use beef that’s 100% verified humane and ground fresh two times a day, then hand-rolled into patties. Check out their Mini Cheese Burgers, three 3 oz. patties served stacked in a burger tower. Fun for sharing, especially at happy hour!
