Gold House Restaurant – Nahunta, GA

July 2, 2012 · by · in Fried Chicken, Georgia, South GA · 2 Comments

In the midst of a South Georgia swing on business, we were heading from Jacksonville to Jesup and lunch-time was right around the corner.  We missed our first chance for food in Folkston (it was only 11:00) and as we rolled into Nahunta, GA (population slightly less than 1,000), we knew we needed to find […]

Rib Country – Blairsville, GA

July 1, 2012 · by · in Barbecue, Georgia, Northwest GA · 3 Comments

In May, while we were preparing for our June hike at the Grand Canyon, we went to hike Blood Mountain, on the Appalachian Trail, as part of our training.  The purpose for the hike was two-fold: it would give us a chance to hike where there were more altitude changes than we were getting on […]

Home Grown – Atlanta, GA

June 29, 2012 · by · in Breakfast, Cabbagetown / Grant Park / Inman Park, Georgia · 2 Comments

One morning, I awoke up bright and early (at 4:00) and couldn’t go back to sleep.   I tried for 45 minutes or so, gave up, got up, got dressed and went to the gym.  Worked out for an hour, cleaned up for work and it was still only 6:15.   This meant that I would HAVE […]

Larkburger – Arvada, CO

June 20, 2012 · by · in Burgers, Colorado · 4 Comments

As the first culinary stop on a journey to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, we stopped to meet a friend who had just moved to Denver from DFW. Knowing that he was new to the area, and that we had a seven and a half hour drive ahead of us, we decided on a spot close […]

Diablo Burger – Flagstaff, AZ

June 14, 2012 · by · in Arizona, Burgers · Leave a comment

On the way to our great American adventure hike, as we drove north from the Phoenix airport we needed some lunch.  Checking the Hamburger America app, I saw a green pin in Flagstaff and we headed toward that address.  We parked downtown and went to wandering, looking for Diablo Burger. We walked by the place […]

Farm Burger – Atlanta, GA

June 9, 2012 · by · in Buckhead, Burgers, Georgia · 2 Comments

I have wanted to try Farm Burger, in Decatur, since right after it opened. This afternoon, being given the freedom to choose lunch, and realizing that FB had a location on Piedmont Road in Buckhead, the opportunity was taken.  We arrived for a late lunch (around 2:30) and the joint was jumping.   Apparently, everyone else […]

Bacchanalia – Atlanta, GA

June 8, 2012 · by · in Fine Dining, Georgia, West Midtown · 2 Comments

For the last three or four years, every list I’ve read relating to Atlanta’s restaurants has listed Bacchanalia as the top restaurant in the city.  About once a year, we have a “big night out”.  This year, Bacchanalia was the destination.  I started looking for reservations for this weekend and the only slot available (before […]

Muss & Turner’s – Atlanta, GA

June 3, 2012 · by · in Barbecue, Burgers, Georgia, Smyrna / Vinings · 5 Comments

Since we discovered Muss & Turner’s about two years ago, we’ve eaten there at least once a month, often twice.  It’s a convenient  choice, either if we’re in the Vinings area, or, since it is only about a twenty-five minute drive from the house, most any other time.  We have a couple of favorites that […]

Cheeseburger Bobby’s – Hiram, GA

June 2, 2012 · by · in Burgers, Dallas / Hiram, Georgia · Leave a comment

Ever since the first time that we visited Cheeseburger Bobby’s, I’d written it off as a local version of a Fuddrucker’s.  But as we discussed driving to Five Guys for dinner, we remembered that a) Cheeseburger Bobby’s is closer and b) I like their french fries better, so it became our dinner destination.  One of […]

Mountain Biscuits – Kennesaw, GA

June 2, 2012 · by · in Barbecue, Breakfast, Georgia, Marietta / Kennesaw · 2 Comments

On a pleasantly cool morning, after a hike at Kennesaw Mountain accompanied by a couple of cool podcasts from KPLU studios (Jake Shimabukuro, followed by John Pizzarelli), I had worked up a bit of an appetite.  It has become something of a ritual to follow a Saturday morning hike at Kennesaw Mountain with lunch at […]
