The Ravenous Pig – Winter Park, FL
Heading down to Orlando for a three day convention, one of the first things that I did was Google for the best buger, as there were no central Florida entries in Hamburger America. One of the places that was on multiple lists was the Ravenous Pig, up in Winter Park. One of the blog reviews […]
The Counter – Roswell, GA
Before we headed over to Good Friday Atlanta, this seemed like a good chance to sample the Counter. I had heard the Counter mentioned several times in the last year, but we rarely get to Roswell to eat. Tonight, as our destination was about five minutes away was the perfect opportunity. I didn’t realize until […]
The Red Eyed Mule – Marietta, GA
While running some errands one Saturday and looking for food, I remembered that there had been a couple of places with Marietta addresses in this month’s “Cheap Eats” article in Atlanta Magazine. A quick Google search from the USPS parking lot and the choice was made – the Red Eyed Mule. I knew we were […]
Watts Burgers – Odessa, TX
As I was leaving Odessa one Monday, I passed by the Permian Basin Hamburger Company (on Main Street since 1978) and whipped the car around to try it out. Sadly, they closed at 3:00 and it was close to 4:00. Dejected, I headed back toward I-20 and the Midland International Airport. It was then that […]
Kaleidoscope Bistro & Pub – Atlanta, GA
One of the greatest opportunities / challenges to living in Atlanta is the sheer number of restaurants. Finding a new restaurant. Deciding if tonight is the night to try something new or whether you want to go to some place again that you’ve been before. But the biggest challenge is hearing about the new restaurants. […]
Square Burger – McKinney, TX
On a recent visit to the land of burgers, I asked the fellow I was visiting with if there was a good burger close by. He thought for a minute and said, “there’s Square Burger downtown?” I was sold, so when lunch time rolled around we drove to the square in downtown McKinney. We found […]
Boardwalk Burgers – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. While heading to a Thursday night jam down at the Red Light Cafe, I noticed a new burger place had opened in Ansley Mall – Boardwalk Burgers. It turns out that it is a new franchise location for which, according to the sign on the wall and their web site, the […]
Flip Burger Boutique – Atlanta, GA
I think the first time we tried Flip Burger Boutique was well before I started my blog, shortly after it opened (early 2009, maybe?) One Saturday, we were downtown and decided to give it a whirl, iPhone in hand. Flip is the brainchild of Top Chef season 8 winner Richard Blais and is designed around […]
Bonnie’s Place – Lansing, MI
Bonnie’s Place is a bar (there’s really no other description for it) in Lansing, MI, just off the campus of Michigan State. I was in Detroit on business and realized that if I left the office by 5:00 pm, I could make it to Elderly Instruments, over in Lansing, for an hour or so before […]
Five Napkin Burger – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Several months ago, I read in the local news about a new burger joint coming to town, Five Napkin Burger, in the old space where Nickiemoto’s was located at the corner of 10th and Piedmont. This New York based restaurant, with outposts in Boston, Miami and here, is an up-scale burger […]
