Chris and Mike
Way back in 1946, two East Hartford cops named Ray Hutt and Augie Bria took a chance and opened Augie & Ray's Drive-in restaurant; a hot dog stand and dairy bar. What did two cops know about the restaurant biz? Not a lot at the time. But, they knew enough about this working class neighborhood outside the gates of Pratt & Whitney and what they needed – good grub, a hot cup of joe and a place to hang their hat. The rest, as they say, is history.
For over 70 years the Hutt family has nurtured Augie and Ray's dream. Sons Butch and Ernie Hutt built "The Stand" into what it is today - an institution famous for it's footlong dogs and their secret recipe chili, aka "The Sauce." Oh, and don't bother asking for the recipe.
Today, the torch has been passed as Ray's great-grandsons, Mike and Chris take the helm. They have some ideas of their own but remain committed to serving up the same, great food that has served this community so well for over 70 years.
