The Spence – Atlanta, GA
As we headed downtown for another wedding shopping venture (IKEA, this time), I saw that we’d be near Richard Blais’ latest enterprise, the Spence. I’ve reviewed a couple of his other places (Flip and HD1) and we decided to give this one a try. The Spence is part of the Concentrics Group, most of which […]
Le Burger Brasserie – Las Vegas, NV
Looking for a quick bite before a meeting and seeing the variety of burger options available at Le Burger Brasserie , I thought it might be a good quick, lunch choice. Located in the Paris resort in Vegas (technically, it is in the walkway between the Paris and Bally’s resorts), it is, for all intents […]
The Permian Basin Hamburger Company – Odessa, TX
For years, as I’ve been traveling back and forth to Odessa for business, I’ve seen the Permian Basin Hamburger Company. I’ve even tried to eat there on a couple of occasions. But until today, the stars had not so aligned themselves as to allow it. The menu, on the outside wall, appeared straight-forward,so I went […]
Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers – Wichita, KS
While having a world of fun at “the bluegrass” (Walnut Valley Festival), we were talking with some friends about our plans for returning home and they asked if I had burger-stop planned before flying from Wichita. I told them we had tried Jack’s North High, Nuway and Bionic Burger on a previous trip. Altitude Boy […]
BGR: the Burger Joint – Atlanta, GA
About two weeks ago there was an article in the Atlanta Business Chronicle about the “burger wars” in Atlanta and one of the contenders was BGR: the Burger Joint. A place of which I’d never heard. Hmmmm. Challenge accepted. Plotting a trip into the city, we found ourselves in the parking garage of Atlantic Station, […]
Stackhouse – Dallas, TX
I was heading to Dallas for some meetings and, knowing my penchant for burgers, the folks in our office arranged our outside meetings around being in the neighborhood of Stackhouse around noon. We were coming from the north side of the city and arrived shortly after the other folks and found them waiting on the […]
Amazing Burger – Duluth, GA
While driving around Duluth a while back, I saw Amazing Burger in a strip shopping center in front of the Kroger on Steve Reynolds. I made a mental note of its location and thought that one day I’d swing by at lunch and see how it was. This Monday, with no one else around the […]
The Vortex Bar & Grill – Atlanta, GA
The Vortex Bar and Grill is a giant on the Atlanta burger landscape. When the Georgia General Assembly passed a law several years back requiring the removal of the smoking section from any restaurant that served children, 99%+ of the restaurants banned smoking all of the time. The Vortex was an anomaly. They said, basically, […]
Smash Burger – Sandy Springs, GA
As I had to be on the opposite side of the city for a meeting this afternoon, I had the opportunity to meet an old friend for lunch. Knowing of my penchant for burgers and looking for a place where our paths might intersect, he suggested that we try SmashBurger on Roswell Road. I had […]
Seed Kitchen & Bar – Marietta, GA
Sunday after church we stood around talking for a while and, for a change, when we left (at 11:00, instead of 10:15) we could actually discuss “what’s for lunch” without Jo giving me that crazy look. I remembered having read about Seed Kitchen & Bar in the Cheap Eats issue of Atlanta Magazine in March […]
