| The Big E's Craz-E Burger |
It’s
National Hamburger Day! To celebrate, let’s talk about a few of the unique
burgers you can find at The Big E.
In
case you haven’t noticed, we aren’t your typical hamburger kinda place. A short
walk around the grounds will give you a good idea why. Like with all great Fair
food, we tend to push the envelope a little on what is considered “normal.” Of course we have your classic burger with ground beef, pickles, lettuce and tomato, but this is The Big E - there is also the opportunity for some bold food choices!
Of
course, The Big E Craz-E Burger wins the title of “Most Popular Burger.” It is
a bacon cheeseburger brought to a whole new level – served between two halves
of a grilled glazed donut. Would you expect
anything less from The Big E’s signature sandwich?
The
concoction with a sweet and salty flavor blast was first added to the menu in
2009 and has been a hit ever since. At the 2013 Fair, The Big EZ Café sold a
whopping 16,000 burgers – almost 1,000 every day!

| White Hut's Waffle Burger |
Runner-up in the popularity contest
goes to White Hut for their Waffle Burger. The
sandwich consists of two waffles, two burger patties and bacon and cheese in
the middle. I have yet to try it, but being a big fan of White Hut – this
burger is at the top of my “To Eat List” for this year’s Fair.
Now,
we also can’t forget about the Wild Game Burgers sold at Yankee Boy and The
International Lobster House. Some of their current menu items and burger meat
of years past include bison, elk, Cajun alligator, Alaskan salmon, wild boar, Aussie kangaroo and ostrich.

I
haven’t been adventurous enough to try to Wild Game Burgers, but if you're curious to see what people think, check out this article from ABC40.
And during your Big E trip this fall, make sure to get
yourself one of these burgers – or aspire to try them all!
