Pallookaville Fine Foods – Avondale Estates, GA
I’ll have to confess that when I told my wife we were going to a place for dinner that specialized in corndogs, I had a bit of a hard sell. And when I called another couple and said, “hey, y’all want to join us for dinner? We’re going to get some corndogs”, the question was […]
PJ Clarke’s – New York, NY
When we made plans to go to New York City in mid- December, one of the first things I did was grab my dog-eared copy of Hamburger America and look to see where we were going to eat lunch. I had narrowed my choices down to three: Corner Bistro, JG Melon and P.J. Clarke’s. Once […]
Common Quarter – Marietta, GA
Seeing the latest spot from Muss & Turner and Local Three‘s owners, Common Quarter, appear on the Eater Atlanta “heat map”, reminded me that we needed to give it a try. I had read about their opening back in October and promptly forgot about it. Since we were a third of the way to east […]
BurgerFi – Kennesaw, GA
A couple of months back, I noticed BurgerFi when I was driving through downtown Kennesaw. I made a mental note to come back there, but almost immediately forgot about it. Then, last month, some of our friends mentioned that they had been there for lunch. They said that the burger was good so we thought […]
Uptown Grille – Suwanee, GA
When I walked into the Uptown Grille at 12 o’clock on a Thursday and there was no one else there, it wasn’t the best sign. I actually questioned if they were open, but there were a couple of people sitting at a table outside drinking beers. The bartender asked if she could help me (which […]
Jerry’s Gourmet Burgers – Villa Rica, GA
I don’t know where I heard about Jerry’s Gourmet Burgers, but, wherever it was, they didn’t lie. It is in a trailer, in the parking lot of a Texaco station, close to (and across the street from) Tanner Medical Center Villa Rica and they serve no drinks. Yep, not a drink on the menu. The […]
Burger 21 – Buford, GA
Burger 21 had been mentioned to me by several different folks – one day I even found a newspaper article about it in my inbox when I got to the office – over the last couple of weeks, but no one had been there yet. Today I went to see what they were talking about. […]
G.A.B.B.A. – Norcross, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. (I realized as I was writing this that I was really overusing parentheticals. Then I tried to stop using parantheses (but I couldn’t). Pardon me in advance.) I had seen the sign for the Great American Burger Boutique and Ale (G.A.B.B.A) several times, driving north on Peachtree Industrial. I just wasn’t […]
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 […]
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 […]
