Bow & Arrow – Auburn, AL
Today’s adventure involved a road trip to Auburn, Alabama, for barbecue with a group of friends. We have these folks that we camp with – three couples in metro Atlanta, one in south Alabama and one in South Carolina. Eight of us (it was a little far for the South Carolinians, so they weren’t part […]
Cold Beer – Atlanta, GA
Just named Eater.com’s 2019 Atlanta Restaurant Design of the Year, Cold Beer opened mid-summer on the new Eastside trail of the Beltline. “On the Beltline” is the key descriptor if you choose to go. They have an address on Dekalb Avenue, but, on Google maps appear to be on Edgewood. Until you get to Edgewood […]
City Barbecue and Catering – Suwanee, GA

Hudson’s Hamburgers – Couer d’Alene, ID
After driving across Washington state the day before, we rolled into northern Idaho, around lunch time. One of my friends declares that Couer d’Alene is the prettiest places in this country. So we headed toward down town and found that he was right. It was an early autumn day and the sun was shining on […]
Hank’s Hamburgers – Tulsa, OK
While we were working our way toward Kansas, we rolled into Tulsa around lunch time and I consulted the list. One of the spots on there, open for more than 60 years, is Hank’s Hamburgers. The reference I had, and all the pictures inside, proclaim it as Waylon Jennings’ favorite burger joint. There were several […]
