The Liquor Store – Memphis, TN
We received a supplemental magazine in the mail with our monthly Atlanta Magazine that highlighted some spots around the South, with an eight page spread on Memphis. My dear wife found a picture of a breakfast, served at the Liquor Store, and suggested to me that we might want to check it out. In town […]
Biscuit Love – Nashville, TN
On a Saturday trip to Nashville, we spent the morning at the flea market (one of the best in the South and worth the trip, IMO) and were looking for lunch. I had one particular place in mind and found a parking place right across the street. Only to find a line of 45-50 people […]
H & H Restaurant – Macon, GA
Heading to the beach for Labor Day weekend, we left early enough in the day that lunch would be in Macon. That meant finally making it to H&H Restaurant. H& H is somewhat of a legend in Georgia restaurant and music circles, as one of the founders of the restaurant, “Mama Louise” Hudson, first fed […]
Tupelo Honey – Sandy Springs, GA
Fourth of July morning was atypical for us. For the last seven years, we’ve walked the South’s largest road race – the Peachtree Road Race. But neither of us was really feeling it this year, so we passed. That allowed us to sleep in and then we headed out for brunch. I searched Open Table […]
Bread & Butterfly – Atlanta, GA
I had been intending on trying Bread & Butterfly for quite a while – ever since they popped onto my radar with Atlanta magazine’s best restaurants of 2016 early last year, in fact. A European-style bistro and cafe, it is from chef Billy Allin (of Cakes & Ale), and located in the fairly new Inman […]
Stilesboro Biscuits – Kennesaw, GA
A few months ago, one of the fellows at a bluegrass jam mentioned that there was a Saturday morning jam at Stilesboro Biscuits. I had never heard of the place and put it in the back of my head for later. Several weeks later, I asked him about it again and he said that the jam […]
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 […]
Over Easy – Birmingham, AL
As the road trip winds to a close, we were looking for breakfast. I considered a smokehouse that we could see from our hotel room, but googled instead for the best breakfast in Birmingham and found Over Easy was both well rated and close by. We pulled up to a packed restaurant, in the […]
Big Bad Breakfast – Oxford, MS
“Lard have mercy”. That’s what it said on the t shirt that I was impulse buying at Big Bad Breakfast, because I found it so punny (apparently so did Dolly Parton’s manager, as the lady who checked us out told her that he had come in, with Dolly in tow, to purchase one for her). […]
The Pantry – Santa Fe, NM
As we were leaving Albuquerque and heading towards Santa Fe on day two of the road trip, we knew we needed breakfast. We planned to grab something quick and get on our way and were looking for someplace to drive through, when the Pantry appeared on the right. Being a sucker for a cinderblock building, […]
