Mac’s Drive In – Pendleton, SC (Photo Blog Post)

After looking around at our dining companions, the guy next to me had a burger on grilled white bread, which looked excellent, like a grilled cheese with a beef patty on it.  But I had chose a double cheeseburger plate. As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the […]

The Acre – Auburn, AL

Today’s lunch at Acre was spurred by Southern Living’s “best restaurants in the South list” from 2014 (of which I keep a copy on my phone – who doesn’t) and a desire to get out of town for the day.  Looking at options, I realized we could be in Auburn in less than 90 minutes from […]

C F Penn Hamburgers – Decatur, AL

While wandering the town of Decatur, AL, waiting for lunch, we were killing time and I found a music store. I drove past it and parallel parked around the corner. As we were getting out of the car, I saw we were parked directly across from CF Penn Hamburgers.   Of course, I was intrigued. […]

Trowbridge’s Ice Cream and Sandwich Bar – Florence, AL

Today was road trip Saturday, so we set out on the three and a half-hour drive northeast to Florence / Muscle Shoals.   I had a few stops in mind, and we arrived at the first around 10:20 Central time.  But since we had arisen prior to 7:00 Eastern, this was a perfectly acceptable time […]
