Jack’s North Hi Carryout – Wichita, KS

Last week, the answer to almost every question was, “I can’t. I’m going to Winfield.”  One of few the questions with a different answer was, “would you like a cheeseburger?”  “Yes, almost always.” Starting our pilgrimage to the Walnut Valley Festival, we flew into Wichita.  Consulting the oracle at Hamburger America before we left, I […]

Cakes and Ale – Decatur, GA

In the continuing pursuit of Atlanta’s best restaurants, we went to Cakes and Ale in Decatur, #3 from the August, 2011 Atlanta Magazine article.  Cakes and Ale has recently relocated just down from the Iberian Pig in Decatur.  In fact, when I first called to make the reservation, they were closed for the move.  So […]

The Red Bar – Grayton Beach, FL

Whenever we’re along the Emerald Coast, we manage to squeeze in a dinner at the Red Bar.  That generally means getting there right after they open.  It’s a bar, plain and simple.  As you pass through the freaky door, you enter a place that is SO PACKED with tables and people that you wonder how […]

Great Southern Cafe – Seaside, FL

Sometimes you end up with a burger in an “odd” place.  We went to the Great Southern Cafe in Seaside, FL, for lunch.  You may, or may not, be familiar with Seaside.  It is a highly planned community between Panama City and Destin on 30A.  It was also the backdrop for the movie the Truman […]

Barefoot BBQ – Seaside, FL

So, after my bad dinner / Jo’s excellent dinner at the Shrimp Shack, I was still hungry.  As we walked back to the car, we came upon the wonders of AirStream dining at Seaside.  There are six trailers parked along 30A and, for my sudden snack need, I chose Barefoot BBQ. Barefoot is spread among […]

The Shrimp Shack, Seaside, FL

One of the challenges of going to the beach is deciding where you’re going to eat.  Do we eat at some place we know?  Or do we strike out on a new adventure?  Saturday night, we decided to try some place new.  We were heading down to Seaside, to either Bud and Alley’s Taco Bar […]

Country’s Barbecue – Troy, AL

For the last eight or nine years, we’ve headed toward the Redneck Riviera for Labor Day weekend where we share a house with two other families.  We’re always looking for a faster route and, about three years ago, we settled on the path that we now take: I-85 South to Waugh, AL AL80 to AL85 […]

Marty’s Hamburger Stand – Los Angeles, CA

Late in August, I had the chance to be in Los Angeles, for a day.  With a little time to kill between meeting’s end and my flight home, the opportunity to continue my quest arose.  Driving down the 405, the next logical stop was on Pico Boulevard, in West LA.  Cruising east on Pico, we […]

Krazy Jim’s Blimpie Burger – Ann Arbor, MI

After Motz’s, I don’t know that I could have a BETTER burger, but I still had two hours before I flew home, so I definitely could have a DIFFERENT burger. Combining a map, where I was, and the Hamburger America app, I realized that I could make it to Ann Arbor in time for a […]

Motz’s Burgers – Detroit, MI

Stop number three. I was highly disappointed at Hunter House and still had more than two hours before my plane home, so I pulled up the address and headed over to Motz’s. Motz’s is south of the ballparks downtown, which are very close to Canada.  I had no idea that the closest point to Canada […]
