Restaurant Eugene – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Several times over the last couple of years, when I was scrolling through the choices on Open Table, Restaurant Eugene has rolled across the radar. I’d look at the reservation slots, pull up the menu on-line and think, “one day, we’ll go there. Just not tomorrow, or Saturday night.” Finally, last […]
Abbatoir – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Opening in 2010, Abbatoir was getting the buzz from most sources as one of the best new restaurants in Atlanta. We tried to go earlier in the summer, but had to cancel the reservation, but were able to keep one for an early Saturday dinner in mid-July. Abbatoir, owned by the […]
Phillips Grocery – Holly Springs, MS
After the disappointment in Amory, we took a series of two- and four-lane roads to Holly Springs, MS. Bill’s was the first time that a burger from the book hadn’t been at least “good”, so I was hoping for a good experience at Phillips Grocery. The building was built in the late 1800s and started […]

The first was Bill’s Hamburgers in Amory, MS, just across the Mississippi line, leaving Alabama. As the sign says, it was founded in 1929. […]
Miller’s Bar – Dearborn, MI
I had the opportunity to be in Detroit, exploring an opportunity and with some time to kill before I had to catch a plane, I realized that I had a chance to get to Miller’s Bar in Dearborn. The sign on the left is actually the outside wall, facing the cross street. Inside, it is […]
Southern Soul Barbecue – St. Simons Island, GA
So, over Memorial Day weekend, I had to be in Jessup on the Friday morning before, so we went down for the weekend. It gave us a chance to visit with Colleen and a weekend at the beach (Jekyll). After I finished up with my meeting, we were wandering through an Antique shop in Brunswick […]
Collegiate Grill – Gainesville, GA
When I first downloaded the Hamburger America app last summer, the first thing I did was look at the choices in my hometown. About 50 miles north of the city, this green flag was in the town of Gainesville. When I clicked on the flag, it opened on the Collegiate Grill. Then I remembered reading […]
