I stand corrected about Whataburger
In a earlier post about Five Guys, I commented that there were three great chains in this country, all that used fresh ground beef – Five Guys, Steak N Shake and In-N-Out, further commenting: “My friends would contend that Whataburger belongs there, but I disagree as I don’t believe they make their burgers out of […]
Righteous ‘Que – Marietta, GA
About two weeks ago, Grant from Marie, Let’s Eat, sent me an email suggesting that we find a barbecue place that neither one of us had written about and meet for lunch or dinner. I told Jo about it and she said, “That’s sweet. You have a “man-date””. Then she cautioned that “it would […]
Five Guys Burgers and Fries – Douglasville, GA
To the best of my knowledge, there are three great burger chains in this country: Five guys; Steak and Shake; and In-N-Out Burger. My friends would contend that Whataburger belongs there, but I disagree as I don’t believe they make their burgers out of fresh ground beef – the prime non-taste related criteria for moving […]
Nu-Way Weiner Stand – Macon, GA
On multiple previous occasions, I had tried to go to Nu-Way Weiner Stand and failed. It seems that we always were driving through Macon either before lunch or on a Sunday, neither being times that worked (they’re open 6:00 am – 7:00 pm weekdays and 7:00 am – 6:00 pm on Saturday). Over a holiday […]
Barbara Jean’s – St Simons Island, GA
We’ve been traveling to St. Simons Island since the mid 90s. My boss had a place on the island for several years back when we were young marrieds with young kids and he would let us stay there during the summer. Back then, Barbara Jean’s always seemed like such an upscale place, down in the […]
Sal’s Neighborhood Pizzeria – St. Simons Island, GA
The last time that I was in Brunswick, someone asked me if I had been to Sal’s Neighborhood Pizza on St Simons Island yet. Then MLE reported on it, during their last southeast Georgia swing. As we were in coastal Georgia, with a down-time day at the beach, I knew what we were going to […]
Rocks on the River – Savannah, GA
As we were looking for a nice place for dinner, Jo was Facebooking with one of her friends about Savannah. I heard what was written and thought that her friend suggested that we eat at Rocks on the River (in the Grand Bohemian). I booked reservations and was feeling pretty good about myself. As we […]
B Tillman (at Byrd Cookie Company) – Savannah, GA
Trolling Open Table looking for a place for lunch, one of the spots that came up was B Tillman. From the urbanspoon page, I followed a link to a review in Connect Savannah about the recently revamped restaurant at Byrd Cookie Company. They said that it was the “most cosmopolitan dining experience south of Derenne […]
Bonna Bella Yacht Club – Savannah, GA
Looking on UrbanSpoon for a seafood place for dinner, Bonna Bella Yacht Club appeared. The ratings weren’t quite what I’d have liked (just under 90% positive with just under 100 reviews), but it looked like it would be a decent place to get some seafood. We headed down into south Savannah, winding our way through […]
Big Shanty BBQ – Kennesaw, GA
Big Shanty BBQ first hit my radar in the 2011 Atlanta magazine barbecue issue, when they used the magic words “banana pudding”. The article listed barbecue restaurants by county, along with their specialties. In the entry for Big Shanty, it highlighted their ribs and pulled pork – and said that their banana pudding was really […]
