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 […]

Bacchanalia – Atlanta, GA

For the last three or four years, every list I’ve read relating to Atlanta’s restaurants has listed Bacchanalia as the top restaurant in the city.  About once a year, we have a “big night out”.  This year, Bacchanalia was the destination.  I started looking for reservations for this weekend and the only slot available (before […]

Muss & Turner’s – Atlanta, GA

Since we discovered Muss & Turner’s about two years ago, we’ve eaten there at least once a month, often twice.  It’s a convenient  choice, either if we’re in the Vinings area, or, since it is only about a twenty-five minute drive from the house, most any other time.  We have a couple of favorites that […]

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 […]

Mountain Biscuits – Kennesaw, GA

On a pleasantly cool morning, after a hike at Kennesaw Mountain accompanied by a couple of cool podcasts from KPLU studios (Jake Shimabukuro, followed by John Pizzarelli), I had worked up a bit of an appetite.  It has become something of a ritual to follow a Saturday morning hike at Kennesaw Mountain with lunch at […]

Matthews Cafeteria – Tucker, GA

From 1989 to 1992, my office was in Tucker, about three miles from Matthews Cafeteria and we’d eat there once or twice a month.  In 1992, our office moved to Norcross and the journey became longer and the visit less frequent.  We’d head down there once every couple of months, generally on a Thursday for […]

Boudreaux’s Cafe Acadiana – Duluth, GA

For the last several years, one of my favorite lunch spots near the office was Boudreaux’s Seafood on Buford Highway.  It was a seafood market, that also served a great lunch.   The guy that owns it is Cajun-born-and-bred (actually a Loyola-schooled tax lawyer) who years ago went looking for a good po-boy in Atlanta and […]

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 […]
