Black and Orange – Washington, DC
In DC for a business meeting, I decided to blow off the cocktail party and go for a walk – to the Jefferson Memorial. In all of the years that I’ve been traveling to the Capitol, I have been fortunate enough to see most of the monuments except for those on the southern-most side of […]
Minetta Tavern – NYC
As we were finishing up the weekend in New York, we headed down to Greenwich Village for Sunday brunch at Minetta Tavern. For the majority of the weekend it had rained, so when we woke up and the sun was (almost) shining, we decided to walk the forty blocks to brunch. Now these were short […]
Trailer Park Lounge – NYC
After lunch at Adrienne’s Pizzabar, we took a taxi up to Chelsea Market at 16th street for some shopping and then walking around in the rain. As we headed back up town, towards Times Square, I began working up a burger appetite. I consulted the Hamburger America app and found that there were two choices […]
Burger Joint – NYC
I first heard about the Burger Joint in le Parker Meridian four or five years ago when I asked a business colleague where to find the best burger in NYC. I was shocked to hear that it was behind a giant velvet curtain, in the lobby of a fairly swank hotel, near Central Park. Then […]
Brandi’s World Famous Hot Dogs – Marietta, GA
Many times over the last several years, I’ve driven by Brandi’s World Famous Hot Dogs, but I’ve never been by when the “Open” sign was in the windiw. They’re open 10:00 – 3:00, Monday – Friday, and my schedule never seemed to mesh with their hours. Nearly in downtown Marietta (they’re just down the street […]
Brown’s Diner – Nashville, TN
Occasionally, we end up at a spot to eat and Jo won’t get out of the car. On more than one occasion, she has been right. When we arrived at Brown’s Diner (which was on my original list – from Hamburger America) I understood completely what George meant when he wrote: “To the untrained eye, […]
Burger Up – Nashville, TN
I heard about Burger Up in the USA Today 51 Burger Joints Across the USA article. It said, “Known for local beef and organic fare from area farms, the new Burger Up in Nashville is based on “thoughtful consumerism.” Feeling the hot chicken hangover from Prince’s Hot Chicken, organic fare sounded pretty good…. We arrived […]
Zarzour’s Cafe – Chattanooga, TN
I first read about Zarzour’s Cafe in Hamburger America, four or five years ago when I got my first copy of the first edition of the book, and added it to my list then. It had always been a matter of timing: they’re open M-F 11:00-3:30 and I was always only either: a) driving through […]
Nick’s Food To Go – Atlanta, GA
I’d heard about Nick’s Food to Go for several years, likely starting with a rerun episode of “Georgia Eats” on PBS one night. I’d even driven by it a couple of times this week (at the corner of Hill and MLK) in the morning on the way to work, trying to find my way around […]
Holeman & Finch Public House – Atlanta, GA
About a week ago, after church when we had zero chance of getting there before the crowds, it occurred to me just how long it had been since we had been to Holeman & Finch Public House for their fabulous burgers, so we made plans to go today. When we arrived about 11:15 (they open […]
