        <content>Hi Chowsters....

I was on my way to Gus &amp; Paul's bakery when I passed a new storefront, COACH D's STEAMED CHEESEBURGERS.

880 Sumner Ave.
Springfield, MA 01108
413-736-4400

I was intrigued so I picked up a menu and went back the next night to try it out.

It was very good!

They have square, hand formed 1/4 lb burger patties, seasoned well and steamed in a small square 'oven'.  Served on a vienna roll (very fresh, like a bulkie roll) with lettuce, mayo, onion, tomato, mustard, ketchup.  They take a while to cook due to the cooking method, so be patient, it's worth it!

They also have hot dogs, fries &amp; onion rings, chili fries, salads, and grilled chicken sandwiches.  Milk shakes, and fried dough.

The owner's wife said the origin of this burger, is a Meriden/Middletown, CT thing.
They have been open since May 08.

I also tried a grilled chicken sandwich.  It was charbroiled, pounded thin and marinaded tasting.  Also served on a vienna roll with all the fixins.  Very tasty!

Tell em you heard about them on CHOW.

      <content>Sadly, on a recent drive-by, they are now closed.  Newspaper in the window, and the phone number was disconnected.</content>
