Nuway Crumbly Burgers – Wichita, KS

Stop number three on the Kansas burger tour – heading back from Winfield home – we drove back to Wichita to fly home. Nuway Cafe  was the second of our pre-determined stop.  I read about the crumbly burgers in the “burger bible” and was intrigued.  Back in the 1930s, the founder left Iowa with a […]

Fair Food – Winfield, KS

So, when I go to the Walnut Valley Festival (they call it “the Bluegrass”, we call it “Winfield”), there are generally abundances of three things: music, friends and food.  Most of the time we eat in camp, but occasionally we go out, (like the jaunt to the Burger Station), but the other choice is food […]

The Burger Station – Winfield, KS

Once we got to the the Walnut Valley Festival, I was moderately consigned to the fact that the best food we’d have outside camp was the fair food on the midway.  So while chatting with some friends at their campsite (about my preternatural fascination with cheeseburgers, among other things), one of the locals said, “Have […]

Jack’s North Hi Carryout – Wichita, KS

Last week, the answer to almost every question was, “I can’t. I’m going to Winfield.”  One of few the questions with a different answer was, “would you like a cheeseburger?”  “Yes, almost always.” Starting our pilgrimage to the Walnut Valley Festival, we flew into Wichita.  Consulting the oracle at Hamburger America before we left, I […]

Cakes and Ale – Decatur, GA

In the continuing pursuit of Atlanta’s best restaurants, we went to Cakes and Ale in Decatur, #3 from the August, 2011 Atlanta Magazine article.  Cakes and Ale has recently relocated just down from the Iberian Pig in Decatur.  In fact, when I first called to make the reservation, they were closed for the move.  So […]

The Red Bar – Grayton Beach, FL

Whenever we’re along the Emerald Coast, we manage to squeeze in a dinner at the Red Bar.  That generally means getting there right after they open.  It’s a bar, plain and simple.  As you pass through the freaky door, you enter a place that is SO PACKED with tables and people that you wonder how […]

Great Southern Cafe – Seaside, FL

Sometimes you end up with a burger in an “odd” place.  We went to the Great Southern Cafe in Seaside, FL, for lunch.  You may, or may not, be familiar with Seaside.  It is a highly planned community between Panama City and Destin on 30A.  It was also the backdrop for the movie the Truman […]

Barefoot BBQ – Seaside, FL

So, after my bad dinner / Jo’s excellent dinner at the Shrimp Shack, I was still hungry.  As we walked back to the car, we came upon the wonders of AirStream dining at Seaside.  There are six trailers parked along 30A and, for my sudden snack need, I chose Barefoot BBQ. Barefoot is spread among […]

The Shrimp Shack, Seaside, FL

One of the challenges of going to the beach is deciding where you’re going to eat.  Do we eat at some place we know?  Or do we strike out on a new adventure?  Saturday night, we decided to try some place new.  We were heading down to Seaside, to either Bud and Alley’s Taco Bar […]

Country’s Barbecue – Troy, AL

For the last eight or nine years, we’ve headed toward the Redneck Riviera for Labor Day weekend where we share a house with two other families.  We’re always looking for a faster route and, about three years ago, we settled on the path that we now take: I-85 South to Waugh, AL AL80 to AL85 […]
