George’s Bar & Grill (World Famous Burgers and Insults) – Cathedral City, CA
An unusual blog post in that we ended up not eating here: I found George’s Bar & Grill (World Famous Burgers & Insults) on the Hamburger America app, as we rolled into Palm Springs. It was 4:45 and the app said they closed at 5:30, so we drove eastward. I should have taken it as […]
Irv’s Burgers – Los Angeles, CA
Irv’s Burgers is part of the reason that this blog exists, in a weird, convoluted way. This all started with a visit to Mr. Bartley’s Burger Cottage in Cambridge, where I first heard about Hamburger America. That was a little over nine years ago. Like at Mr. Bartley’s, there was a placard on the counter, […]
Bleu House Market – Norcross, GA
I love the chance to meet one of my girls for lunch. And when the lunch spot, unbeknownst to us, ends up being a barbecue spot, it’s a double win. Looking for some place new to try, one of her co-workers told her that the Market, in Norcross, was her “kind of place”. Unsure what […]

I plugged the […]
Pho Hoang Long – Smyrna, GA
You could say that this pho was just what the doctor ordered. Well, kind of. The last time I saw my GP, we were talking about my diet and he asked if I liked Asian food. I mentioned where we had eaten recently and he said no, you need to go here, instead, for Vietnamese […]
Illegal Food – Atlanta, GA
We had a meal (or three or four) at Illegal Food back in 2014 and 2015 when they were a popup kitchen at Joystick, but we had not been to their actual location. Today, when we were in town on a Saturday without plans, I decided it would be “big” burgers for lunch. Off to […]
Bernie’s – Columbia, SC
As I planned a trip to Myrtle Beach, I realized that Columbia was about midway – and I had recently heard about Bernie’s Fried Chicken. I had thought about stopping on the way up, but that was on Sunday – the one day of the week they are closed. We were heading home on […]
