Bub-Ba-Q – Woodstock, GA
Bub-Ba-Q is a place that popped onto my radar with an Atlanta Magazine article from July of 2010 which, after their ranking of the top 5 BBQ places, listed the other places they had tried, by county. This list was invaluable, providing places I had no idea about. Now Cherokee County isn’t a place […]
Stilesboro Biscuits – Kennesaw, GA
A few months ago, one of the fellows at a bluegrass jam mentioned that there was a Saturday morning jam at Stilesboro Biscuits. I had never heard of the place and put it in the back of my head for later. Several weeks later, I asked him about it again and he said that the jam […]
Cuban Delights
Months back, I saw a sign, on the side of truck, parked on the side of the road, as I was heading up 278 from Dallas saying “Cuban Food”. My immediate thought was “where?” Then, several months later I decided to turn down the road and look for it and there it was, on the […]
Richard’s Southern Fried – Atlanta, GA
Recently, someone mentioned a “hot chicken” place had opened in Krog Street Market and I was on it like, well, hot sauce on chicken. I couldn’t work out the right time to get to Richard’s Southern Fried, which is from chef Todd Richards (executive chef at White Oak Kitchen & Cocktails), for a while, but […]
Jackie Hite’s Bar-B-Q – Batesburg-Leesville, SC
We first tried to eat at Jackie Hites Bar-B-Q several years ago. I can’t tell you exactly when it was, but I do know that it was a Tuesday. “How do I know”, you ask? My notes are very clear (in BOLD CAPS) that they are closed for lunch on Tuesday. They’re pretty clear […]
The Butt Hutt – Athens, GA (Photo Blog Post)
As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog.
South 21 – Charlotte, NC
Going back to the original Hamburger America list, as we were driving through Charlotte this evening we swung into South 21 for a quick dinner. “Swung in” is a bit of an understatement as it involved an exit, a u-turn and a return onto a divided six-lane highway, but you get the idea. They’ve […]
Seven Lamps – Atlanta, GA
Back in 2013, eater.com put together a list of the “25 Hottest Burgers in America and the “secret burger” at Seven Lamps (a newcomer, at the time, to the Atlanta dining scene) made their list. I had never heard of the restaurant, but I did add it to my list. Located in the corner of […]
Clocked! Diner – Athens, GA
We were heading up to the fabulous North Georgia Folk Festival, above Athens and stopped downtown, for a little pre-festival shopping and lunch at Clocked! Diner. They declare their ideology very clearly: We proudly use organic, local and natural ingredients, free of chemical fertilizers, antibiotics, growth hormones, synthetic herbicides and pesticides, ammonia and other additives. All […]
