Augustine’s – Atlanta, GA
I was a couple of days into my own Burger Week, following the recent passing of Ms. Anne, and ready for another burger. I have absolutely no idea where I heard about the burger at Augustine’s. That is a rare thing for me – I usually remember what put some place on my list, or […]
Local Republic – Lawrenceville, GA
A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by someone who was asking permission to use my photo of the Red Eyed Mule’s Sloppy Jake Burger (read my review here) in an article she was writing for Thrillist. I said “sure” and thought nothing more of it. Then two weeks ago, someone I went to […]
Johnny Mitchell’s Smokehouse – Euharlee, GA
After a Saturday morning during which I surprised my wife by digging into some yard work, without prior contemplation (or prodding), about six hours into it, I suggested that we drive up to Euharlee to eat barbecue and received an affirmatory nod. Johnny Mitchell’s Smokehouse is, basically, a destination dinner. Not because the food is […]
Pinewood Tippling Room – Decatur, GA
I had read about Pinewood Tippling Room when it opened in 2012, in the boom of cocktail bars that opened that summer. What is a “tippling room”, you may ask? To tipple is “to drink (liquor) especially continuously in small amounts” – making this a place to drink, slowly. So, it’s a bar. A bar […]
La Oaxaquena Tacqueria- Jonesboro, GA
La Oaxaquena Tacqueria has been on my “list” since the original paper list that was in the trunk of my car, back in 2006. But Jonesboro is just not a place that we often get to. Today, while we were wandering around on the south side of Atlanta, I declared (silently, to myself, in case […]
Diner – Atlanta, GA
As we really enjoy Rosebud, I’ve been looking forward to the opening of Ron Eyester’s Diner since I first heard word of it last summer. With a limited opening on March 5 (serving a limited version of the menu), we decided to stop in the afternoon for an early dinner and see what we thought. […]
The Albert – Atlanta, GA
Recently named the “6th Best Burger” in Atlanta (by Atlanta Magazine), the Original Diner Burger (ODB) was put on my “to try” list right after reading the article. Heading into town this morning (because it is Saturday and what else would you do) we headed toward Inman Park, sneaking up on The Albert from Little […]
Bubba Mac’s – Douglasville, GA
I’d been talking about going to Bubba Mac’s for over a decade, but there never seemed to be the right time. They had been located on Highway 92, just north of downtown Douglasville, since 1997 but we never seemed to make it in (there location was not conducive to my traffic patterns, but they’ve developed […]
Superica – Atlanta, GA
Sitting at home, watching NCAA conference championship weekend, the subject of lunch came up. I mentioned the excellent chicken tacos my love had enjoyed at El Felix last weekend and that we could get the same things at Superica in about half an hour. (Superica is Ford Fry’s newest Tex-Mex restaurant, in Krog Street Market, […]
Shake Shack – Atlanta, GA
Several years back, we were visiting NYC for the weekend and I was in burger heaven. As we were getting ready to leave on Sunday morning, I realized that we had time to make a quick run to Shake Shack, just off Times Square. I enjoyed it at the time, although it paled next to […]
