Hattie B’s – Nashville, TN
If you’ve followed our adventures for a while, you know that I fell in love with Nashville hot chicken back in 2013. Since that first visit to Prince’s, we’ve been back there three times and tried it in several places here. I didn’t realize that I wasn’t the only one involved in this love affair. […]
Cochon Butcher – Nashville, TN (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.
Bolton’s Spicy Chicken & Fish – Nashville, TN
One of the other places on the “hot chicken” list, since before we went to Prince’s, was Bolton’s Spicy Chicken and Fish. But the thing here is about the fish, not the chicken. Sadly, the storefront above is their “old” building, as there is a relatively new building out back. Inside the new building, there’s […]
The Joint – New Orleans, LA
On a recent trip to Metairie, the folks I was meeting with asked what was on my agenda. “A decent lunch” was part of my reply. By 11:00, we had a couple of choices, both in the Bywater neighborhood. I was not familiar with this area, which is on the river, over by Crescent City […]
The Bar B Q Place – Fort Payne, AL
Jo always says that it’s not a matter of if she’ll get food poisoning, but rather when. Today, as we got back in the car, she began to sing, “This. Could be the day.” And thus ended the story of our first agreed-upon epic barbecue failure. Driving to Scottsboro, AL, we had stopped in […]
Red Bridges Barbecue Lodge – Shelby, NC
Red Bridge Barbecue Lodge, in Shelby, is one of the icons of North Carolina barbecue. In fact, they had recently won a barbecue bracket contest (think of a NCAA tournament bracket) sponsored by Garden & Gun magazine, as the national barbecue champion. You can check out the bracket here. You’ll notice several places we’ve visited […]
Barbecue Hut – Fayetteville, NC
In anticipation of looking for North Carolina barbecue near our daughter’s new hometown in metropolitan Fayetteville, I was striking out finding anything close. I “asked the Oracle”, twice, queried the Barbecue Brothers for suggestions and consulted Google. Both provided a couple of references, but nothing that cried out “eat here” with any authority. […]
BBQ Barn – North Augusta, SC
Since we hadn’t driven anywhere lately, we took off this weekend up to Fayetteville, NC to visit our daughter and her husband. If you’d have asked me the best way to get from Atlanta to Fayetteville, I never would have guessed that you would take I-20 east until it ends and drive briefly north, but […]
Over Easy – Birmingham, AL
As the road trip winds to a close, we were looking for breakfast. I considered a smokehouse that we could see from our hotel room, but googled instead for the best breakfast in Birmingham and found Over Easy was both well rated and close by. We pulled up to a packed restaurant, in the […]
The Hot and Hot Fish Club – Birmingham, AL
I first heard of chef Chris Hastings one day when we were having lunch at the Farmhouse at Serenbe. Marie Nygren, the owner, was telling another table about the next chef to be featured in their weekend chef series. She was raving about the food at Hot and Hot Fish Club and chef Hastings, who […]
