Home Grown – Atlanta, GA
One morning, I awoke up bright and early (at 4:00) and couldn’t go back to sleep. I tried for 45 minutes or so, gave up, got up, got dressed and went to the gym. Worked out for an hour, cleaned up for work and it was still only 6:15. This meant that I would HAVE […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
