Narobia’s Grits and Gravy – Savannah, GA
I’ll start this by saying, if I owned this place, the name would be Narobia’s Gravy & Grits. The grits were good. But the gravy was absolutely banging. This was the third attempt to try Narobia’s – the first time we went, they were closed on that day and the second time, they were closing […]
Slow Fire Barbecue – Savannah, GA
There was a recent article in Texas Monthly (you can read a few free articles in TM per month – I try to make mine about barbecue) about the brisket boom in the Southeast. It referenced Lewis Barbecue (in Charleston, which we loved), others in SC and one Georgia spot – Slow Fire Barbecue, in […]
Speed’s Kitchen – Shellman Bluff, GA
First thing to know – just because the name is Speed’s, don’t get any crazy ideas. Located in three (or four) trailers, down a dirt road, you pretty much have to know where you’re going to get there. When I arrived (around 6:15), I was a little early for dinner, as everyone else started to […]
Hunter’s Cafe – Shellman Bluff, GA
Heading toward north Florida for a conference, we crossed through Savannah a little late for the places I wanted to stop for lunch. But I had this place in Shellman Bluff on my list, that had been there for years. And when I pulled it up on the interwebs, they were closing before we could […]
The Porch – St Simons Island, GA
We’ve been going to Saint Simon’s Island since our kids were small. Now that they’re adults, with families of their own, we’ve started going back – renting a house for Labor Day weekend. One of the big questions is always, “what are we going to do for dinner?” There are a couple of regular haunts, […]
The Grey – Savannah, GA
Everybody, everywhere, seems to be talking about Mashama Bailey lately (she was on CBS Saturday morning last weekend, for example). When we were heading to the beach, and going to be in Savannah for lunch, I had an idea where we’d be stopping: The Grey, where Ms Bailey is executive chef. In what was […]
Charlie Joseph’s – LaGrange, GA
Heading down to the Middle East (of Alabama), we were rolling down I-85 and realized that we were running out of choices, rapidly, for lunch (if we wanted to eat soon) when I remembered seeing a sign about chili dogs last time we went to Pine Mountain. Nearing 185, I saw the sign for Charlie […]
Blakely Chicken – Blakely, GA
This story is probably best told as the fried-chicken-that-almost-got-away. Camping over in Eufala, we were as close as we were going to be, in the forseeable future, to Blakely Chicken – within an hour’s drive. It had hit my radar in an article in Garden n Gun with this quote from Linton Hopkins: “If […]
Heavy’s Barbecue – Crawfordville, GA (Photo Blog Post)
As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog.
