Joe’s Cable Car – San Francisco, CA
When I found that I had to be in Northern California for a meeting, I consulted all of my “burger sources”. With diligent preparation, I had multiple places that I intended to hit when we were in the Bay Area. Before we left, I looked at who was open on what days and ranked my […]
Keller’s Hamburgers – Dallas, TX
Keller’s was the last stop on my DFW burger tour at the end of September. When I read about them in Hamburger America, I’ll have to say they were high on my list of prospects, just based on the restaurant itself. When I pulled up, my expectations were matched – this place was a true […]
Maple & Motor – Dallas, TX
When I knew I was heading to Dallas in late September, I called my friend (and professional photographer) Chris Moseley, and asked him where HIS favorite burger was. He did what any reasonable person would do – created a Facebook poll. The consensus was that we should meet and eat at Maple & Motor. So […]
Kincaid’s Grocery & Market – Fort Worth, TX
Texas burgers are different. While the basic burger at most of the places I visit are based on a sixth-, fifth- or quarter-pound burger, often served as a double, the foundational Texas burger is a half-pounder. I’ll have to admit, I’m fond of the idea. Kincaid’s opened in the mid-forties as a grocer with a […]
Cowboy Chow – Roanoke, TX
So on the same adventure that took me to burger spots Kincaid’s, Maple & Motor and Keller’s, I had the chance to have dinner with a friend on Monday night. He lives almost in Keller (no relation to the burger joint mentioned above, to my knowledge), just north of Fort Worth, and we were pretty […]
Bionic Burger – Wichita, KS
The fourth and final stop on the Kansas burger tour – Bionic Burger. After the disappointment at Nuway, I was still hungry and we had plenty of time to kill before our flight. So I hit the Hamburger America app on my phone and looked at burger joints added by fans. Bionic Burger was there. […]
Nuway Crumbly Burgers – Wichita, KS
Stop number three on the Kansas burger tour – heading back from Winfield home – we drove back to Wichita to fly home. Nuway Cafe was the second of our pre-determined stop. I read about the crumbly burgers in the “burger bible” and was intrigued. Back in the 1930s, the founder left Iowa with a […]
Fair Food – Winfield, KS
So, when I go to the Walnut Valley Festival (they call it “the Bluegrass”, we call it “Winfield”), there are generally abundances of three things: music, friends and food. Most of the time we eat in camp, but occasionally we go out, (like the jaunt to the Burger Station), but the other choice is food […]
The Burger Station – Winfield, KS
Once we got to the the Walnut Valley Festival, I was moderately consigned to the fact that the best food we’d have outside camp was the fair food on the midway. So while chatting with some friends at their campsite (about my preternatural fascination with cheeseburgers, among other things), one of the locals said, “Have […]
