Big Pie in the Sky Pizzeria – Kennesaw, GA
When I first saw Man Versus Food, I thought, “Adam Richman is the kind of guy that I’d like to hang out with” (yes, I know that I shouldn’t have ended a sentence with a preposition, but I didn’t honestly think “the kind of guy with whom I’d like to hang out” at the time, […]
Chicken and the Egg, Marietta, GA
One Sunday, after church, we were looking for some place new to eat. As we’re pulling out of the parking lot, I hit Open Table and searched for places nearby and took a look. Up popped Chicken and the Egg, near the square, on Whitlock Avenue, in Marietta. We read the reviews and decided to […]
Five Napkin Burger – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Several months ago, I read in the local news about a new burger joint coming to town, Five Napkin Burger, in the old space where Nickiemoto’s was located at the corner of 10th and Piedmont. This New York based restaurant, with outposts in Boston, Miami and here, is an up-scale burger […]
Grindhouse Killer Burgers – Atlanta, GA
Looking back through my lists, I also realized that I’ve never blogged about Grindhouse Killer Burgers. We ate at the original location (in the Sweet Auburn Curb Market) some time in mid-2009 and I’d been back to that location for lunch when I was in town on a couple of occasions. They’ve opened a second […]
In-N-Out – Berkley, CA
No trip to California would be complete without a stop at the BEST chain restaurant in the West: In-N-Out. Heading back into San Francisco, we realized that we needed to eat and had no earthly idea what we wanted. And then we saw the sign on the side of the freeway. The clouds broke, a […]
Nation’s and Andie’s – Napa, CA
Since we’d already hit all of the burger spots on my list, I did some wandering around town while Jo was antiquing. The first place I stopped in was Nation’s Giant Hamburgers. With a name like that, how could I drive by? I didn’t know this going in, but they’re a chain out of the […]
Val’s – Hayward, CA
One of the places that I did have targeted on the trip west was Val’s Burgers in Hayward, just south of Oakland. Val’s has been in business serving burgers and steaks since the 1950s. We headed down that way from Sonoma and arrived just ahead of the dinner-time rush. When we got there the waitress […]
Slow Club – San Francisco, CA
On Monday, we decided that the weather opportunity was as good as it was going to get during the rest of our visit to walk the three miles back and forth across the Golden Gate Bridge. Into San Francisco we drove. Man! I thought Atlanta traffic was miserable – the ride in through Berkley and […]
The Girl and the Fig – Sonoma, CA
One of the most pleasant food stops on our visit to wine country was the Girl and the Fig in Sonoma. We were staying in Napa and while checking the reviews for restaurants in the area, the Girl and the Fig kept being mentioned. On Monday evening we took the drive over. Sonoma is a […]
Gott’s Roadside – St. Helena and Napa, CA
Opened as Taylor’s Refresher in St. Helena in 1949, the restaurant was bought from the Taylor family by the Gott brothers and the named was changed to Gott’s Roadside a few years back. We stopped for a late lunch on a sunny Sunday afternoon at the original location in St. Helena. At 2:00, there were […]
