Matt’s Big Breakfast – Phoenix, AZ
When I was planning our trip, I knew that one morning we’d be starting a day at Matt’s Big Breakfast. Why not start there, on the first morning? When we showed up at 8:05 on a Saturday, the place was already packed. We talked with the host and he said that the 15-20 people waiting […]
The Stand – Phoenix, AZ
Coming into Arizona from the east coast during the 8 months or so when they’re on Pacific time, always makes eating a challenge. By the time we landed, got a car and were on the road, it was both time for dinner (6:30 locally) and time for bed (9:30 at home). I made the executive […]
Cypress Street Pint & Plate – Atlanta, GA
For a change, lately, I know where this referral came from – a friend said that I really needed to try the Sublime doughnut burger at Cypress Street Pint and Plate, and I wrote it down. I wrote it down a year (or two) ago. Today, as we were heading in town for lunch, it […]
Hickory Hut – Dallas, GA
Having driven by the Hickory Hut BBQ dozens of times, I finally had the chance to visit on this Friday. Just under the bridge, as you head west out of downtown Dallas, they are there on the right, where they’ve been since 1965. For a place that advertises no phone and no sign, I was […]
JD’s Bar-B-Que – Woodstock, GA
As we were roaming around the northwest suburbs, lunch time rolled around and I was (of course) searching the area for a spot. JD’s Bar-B-Que appeared on my phone, and I set our travel plans toward Bells Ferry (they also have an Acworth location). They’ve been open since 1999 and at some time in the past […]
Shorty’s – Tucker, GA
On my (not-so-shorty) list for almost a decade, I’ve thought about going to Shorty’s Pizza on at least half a dozen occasions. The original opened on North Druid Hills and they later opened the Tucker location where we dined tonight. Realizing we were going to be close to our youngest daughter’s house, we invited her […]
Karina Restaurante Salvadoreno – Austell, GA
Earlier this year, I spent quite a few evenings in the Austell area. Several times I drove by Karina Restaurante Salvadoreno, at the corner of Hicks and Austell Roads. and thought, “I wonder what that place’s food is like?” As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the […]
Co’m Vietnamese Grill
I’ve been meaning to eat at Co’m Vietnamese Grill for quite a while. We had even been in one night for dinner while my beloved was doing the whole thirty and couldn’t find any dishes that weren’t rice or noodle based, so we went elsewhere. When a cohort wanted to meet for lunch near the […]
Elder Tree Public House – Atlanta, GA
Somewhere along the way, either someone told me or I read somewhere how good the hamburgers were at Elder Tree Public House and I put it on the list. For the life of me, I can’t remember who told me or where I saw it… When we went to the Earl a couple of months […]
