Zesto’s of West Columbia – West Columbia, SC
After our visit to Bernie’s and the comments I received, I knew that the next time I was in Columbia, I’d have to try Zesto of West Columbia. With a business meeting in Columbia in the morning, we stopped at Zesto on the way back to Atlanta. Originally part of a national chain, dating back […]
George’s Bar & Grill (World Famous Burgers and Insults) – Cathedral City, CA
An unusual blog post in that we ended up not eating here: I found George’s Bar & Grill (World Famous Burgers & Insults) on the Hamburger America app, as we rolled into Palm Springs. It was 4:45 and the app said they closed at 5:30, so we drove eastward. I should have taken it as […]
Irv’s Burgers – Los Angeles, CA
Irv’s Burgers is part of the reason that this blog exists, in a weird, convoluted way. This all started with a visit to Mr. Bartley’s Burger Cottage in Cambridge, where I first heard about Hamburger America. That was a little over nine years ago. Like at Mr. Bartley’s, there was a placard on the counter, […]
Illegal Food – Atlanta, GA
We had a meal (or three or four) at Illegal Food back in 2014 and 2015 when they were a popup kitchen at Joystick, but we had not been to their actual location. Today, when we were in town on a Saturday without plans, I decided it would be “big” burgers for lunch. Off to […]
Pawley’s Front Porch – Columbia, SC (Photo Blog Post)
As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog. Pawley’s Front Porch
Ssam Burger – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, there was an article on Eater.com about interesting burgers in Atlanta. Ssam Burger, on Defoors Ferry popped up. I had not heard about it, but with our love of the Korean / taco fusion at Hankook, why wouldn’t we like a Korean / burger place? Located in a strip center, next […]
1910 Public House – Lilburn, GA
Looking for a place for lunch with a friend for his birthday, he mentioned that there was a new “best burger” (from early February, 2017, voting from Access Atlanta) in town that he had read about – at 1910 Public House in Lilburn. Our decision was made for us. Traveling into old town Lilburn, the […]
Bread & Butterfly – Atlanta, GA
I had been intending on trying Bread & Butterfly for quite a while – ever since they popped onto my radar with Atlanta magazine’s best restaurants of 2016 early last year, in fact. A European-style bistro and cafe, it is from chef Billy Allin (of Cakes & Ale), and located in the fairly new Inman […]
Ball Ground Burger Bus – Ball Ground, GA
Today’s dining adventure comes courtesy of an “only in your state” blog post shared by my wife, about interesting restaurants. So when we headed out for the day’s adventure in north Georgia, I determined that we would dine at the Ball Ground Burger Bus. We rolled into downtown Ball Ground (almost rolled through – one […]
South 21 – Charlotte, NC
Going back to the original Hamburger America list, as we were driving through Charlotte this evening we swung into South 21 for a quick dinner. “Swung in” is a bit of an understatement as it involved an exit, a u-turn and a return onto a divided six-lane highway, but you get the idea. They’ve […]
