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 […]
Fat Mo’s – Murfreesboro, TN
My original plan for Saturday morning included having breakfast in downtown Nashville. The first restaurant that I tried had a line out the door and down the street, so I went to the second. They told me that there was an estimated forty-five minute wait. For breakfast? For one? I ultimately ended up skipping breakfast […]
Rotier’s Restaurant – Nashville, TN
I had decided, on the drive up to Nashville, that this was the day to try Rotier’s Restaurant for a burger. They’ve been atop Nashville’s best burger list for years. Located in Nashville’s West End, the parking is, effectively, non-existent. There is street parking available (a total of about five spots in front of the […]
Sweet Auburn Curb Market – Atlanta, GA
After first hearing about Bell Street Burritos in Atlanta Magazine (back in the March, 2012 “Cheap Eats” edition), I’ve been meaning to get by there. They had opened a location on Howell Mill, which I believed would surely be easier to get to than the Sweet Auburn Curb Market. But it closed without me ever […]
Ten Atlanta – Atlanta, GA
Capping off a weekend of dining in re-purposed restaurants (after a disappointing lunch at S’more BBQ), we ended up at Ten Atlanta for brunch on Sunday, in the former Five Napkin Burger space. Here’s the question that I’m sure is on your mind, if you’ve looked at the link to the restaurant: How did we […]
Ann’s Snack Bar (re-visited) – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. It’s been almost three years since our series of visits to Ann’s Snack Bar. We went. Then we took our girls. Then we took my parents (that was a hoot). As we prepared for a weekend-long birthday celebration, Jo asked what I wanted to do this weekend – a long-delayed revisit […]
Stella’s Hamburgers – Bellevue, NE
As I was heading back home on a business trip out of Omaha, I realized that I had just enough time before I had to be at the airport to make one burger stop. I had checked Hamburger America and all of my lists on Sunday night and the only place that was a possibility […]
Dizzy Whiz – Louisville, KY
On the way home from the track, I was starving – the mozzarella and tomato sandwich from noon time was long gone. As we were getting back on the road, I remember having seen the sign on I-65 for Dizzy Whiz (since 1947). I searched for their address on my phone and we headed in […]
