Somers Man Inducted into White Castle's Cravers Hall of Fame

Barry Cash, a Somers resident, was recently inducted into White Castle's Cravers Hall of Fame for an incident that happened 30 years ago. 

Cash's most memorable moment with White Castle – a fast-food hamburger chain – came in 1983 when he was working as an assistant director for a summer day camp. The children where taken to a rural campground in Rockland County to spend the day swimming, playing games, cooking out and sitting by a campfire.

About 100 boys and girls were to spend the night in the woods, but when later in the evening a severe storm hit, they were forced the campers to seek shelter at a Jewish Community Center in the Bronx.

After getting settled in, Cash drove to the nearest White Castle restaurant at about 2 a.m. and purchased 400 sliders and 126 orders of French fries. He returned to the community center where the children ate the food.

Cash was chosen to be inducted into the White Castle's Cravers Hall of Fame because the judges felt the story he submitted for this year's contest is exactly the type of story that Cravers Hall of Fame honors – unique and memorable – Mona Eadeh said. 

The Cravers Hall of Fame was launched in 2001 to celebrate and honor White Castle’s most loyal fans. The judges set criteria to evaluate each story based on the following: brand loyalty, creative presentation, originality and magnitude of the Crave. From 675 entries, 10 stories were chosen for the 13th Cravers Hall of Fame class.
