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 […]
Larkburger – Arvada, CO
As the first culinary stop on a journey to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, we stopped to meet a friend who had just moved to Denver from DFW. Knowing that he was new to the area, and that we had a seven and a half hour drive ahead of us, we decided on a spot close […]
Diablo Burger – Flagstaff, AZ
On the way to our great American adventure hike, as we drove north from the Phoenix airport we needed some lunch. Checking the Hamburger America app, I saw a green pin in Flagstaff and we headed toward that address. We parked downtown and went to wandering, looking for Diablo Burger. We walked by the place […]
Farm Burger – Atlanta, GA
I have wanted to try Farm Burger, in Decatur, since right after it opened. This afternoon, being given the freedom to choose lunch, and realizing that FB had a location on Piedmont Road in Buckhead, the opportunity was taken. We arrived for a late lunch (around 2:30) and the joint was jumping. Apparently, everyone else […]
Cheeseburger Bobby’s – Hiram, GA
Ever since the first time that we visited Cheeseburger Bobby’s, I’d written it off as a local version of a Fuddrucker’s. But as we discussed driving to Five Guys for dinner, we remembered that a) Cheeseburger Bobby’s is closer and b) I like their french fries better, so it became our dinner destination. One of […]
Yeah! Burger – Atlanta, GA
Looking back, I can’t believe that I haven’t said anything about Yeah! Burger. We eat there about once every three weeks. It’s really quote simple: I ask Jo where she wants to eat, and, regardless of where we are or when it is, she says, “Yeah! Burger”. The concept is near perfect: they use natural […]
