Linda-Mar Drive In – Tulsa, OK
We weren’t leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight, but we were heading home from Winfield and looking for lunch (in all the wrong places?) when we got to Tulsa. (Note: That’s TWO thinly-veiled 80s country song references in one sentence!) This placed us at Linda-Mar Drive In (actually across the street in the grocery store […]
Knoth’s Bar-B-Que, Grand Rivers, KY
Heading from Nashville toward Paducah, we stopped at the Kentucky visitors center on I-24 and asked if there were any barbecue places in that part of the state serving mutton (this is a “thing” in the Owensboro area of Kentucky). The lady said that she thought that Knoth’s Bar-B-Que, over in Grand River, might and […]
H & H Restaurant – Macon, GA
Heading to the beach for Labor Day weekend, we left early enough in the day that lunch would be in Macon. That meant finally making it to H&H Restaurant. H& H is somewhat of a legend in Georgia restaurant and music circles, as one of the founders of the restaurant, “Mama Louise” Hudson, first fed […]
Bennie’s Red Barn – Saint Simons Island, GA
Ever since our kids were small, St. Simons Island has always been a special place for our family. As our family has grown (with the addition of two sons in law), we’ve made a Labor Day weekend tradition of renting a house and all going down for the long weekend. There are places that we […]
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 […]
Richardson’s Mexican Cuisine – Phoenix, AZ (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.
Pappy & Hariett’s Pioneer Palace – Pioneertown, CA (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.
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 […]
The Tropicale – Palm Springs, CA (Photo Blog Post)
You know how servers are always pushing dessert? So the waiter comes back to the table and asks how it was. We tell they were both stellar and ask for a dessert menu. “After the pork chop??” As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the […]
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, […]
