H Harper Station – Atlanta, GA (an update)
In an attempt to at least close out the top 10 on Atlanta Magazine’s 2015 Best Burger list before the end of the year, we made a return visit to H Harper Station for the “number 7”, their BeltLine burger. On our first visit, we were underwhelmed, but had not been led astray by […]
Steinbeck’s Ale House – Decatur, GA
We’ve been working our way through Atlanta Magazine’s list of the twenty best burgers, on and off, since it was published in January. Tonight, we’re knocking off one of our two remaining places in the top ten, Steinbeck’s Ale House in Oakhurst, tonight. This selection was based on a combination of location and […]
Off Site Kitchen – Dallas, TX
Finishing up our visit to the Texas State Fair, we were looking for something to eat on the way to the airport. I had a couple of places and mind and gave Jo a choice of burgers or barbecue. She chose burgers and I had found Off Site Kitchen in this fabulous book Where […]
Fred’s Texas Cafe – Fort Worth, TX (Photo Blog Post)
I’ve had Fred’s Texas Cafe on my list for a long time, with the sentence, in the description, that said “is the kind of place you take that new boyfriend or girlfriend to see if they can deal with it. If they can, they’re a keeper. It’s a complete dive, but the burgers are wonderful”. […]
Big Al’s Gourmet Butter-Made Burgers – Atlanta, GA
I’ve seen Big Al’s Gourmet Butter-Made Burgers several times, as I was going by. The time that stuck in my mind the most was during the Peachtree Road Race – they’re on the left, just as you get ready to hit the steepest part of “Cardiac Hill”. I really thought about stopping and getting one that […]
Royal Tavern – Philadelphia, PA
Known for my exceptional timing, I arrived in the City of Brotherly Love, four days ahead of the Pope. The airport and every street sign was welcoming the Pontiff and on Tuesday night, the police were in full preparation mode. The first place I headed to for dinner (in Fairmount), I couldn’t get near, at […]
The Rookery – Macon, GA
Our official “third child” had been living in Macon for the last couple of years, at grad school and has been telling me that I really needed to go to the Rookery. Today, as we were heading back to Atlanta from the beach, we rolled into the Heart of Georgia just in time for a […]
Big Bad Breakfast – Oxford, MS
“Lard have mercy”. That’s what it said on the t shirt that I was impulse buying at Big Bad Breakfast, because I found it so punny (apparently so did Dolly Parton’s manager, as the lady who checked us out told her that he had come in, with Dolly in tow, to purchase one for her). […]
Cotham’s Mercantile – Scott, AR
You have to love a place that has a dog-eared copy of Hamburger America sitting right by the cash register…. Working our way from Little Rock to Oxford, I had two or three stops planned – the first being Cotham’s Mercantile, in Scott. In the first version of the Hamburger America book that I bought, […]
J & W Grill – Chickasha, OK
Please note: Between last night’s barbecue and this morning’s onion burger, there was a simple breakfast burrito. Don’t worry, faithful followers – we did NOT skip a meal. The other place mentioned by the reception desk at the hotel in Oklahoma City (OKC) was Nic’s Grill – a place I had on my itinerary […]
