The Glass Onion- Charleston, SC
As we were heading to Charleston, I only had two places on my food list, the Glass Onion and Martha Lou’s Kitchen. We heard about the Glass Onion on Road Trip with G. Garvin on the Travel Channel. Then I found out they had been on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. And then I read an […]
Dizzy Whiz – Louisville, KY
On the way home from the track, I was starving – the mozzarella and tomato sandwich from noon time was long gone. As we were getting back on the road, I remember having seen the sign on I-65 for Dizzy Whiz (since 1947). I searched for their address on my phone and we headed in […]
J. Graham’s (the Brown Hotel) – Louisville, KY
On Oaks Day, we found ourselves downtown just in time for lunch. On all of my lists, the only food on any of them in Louisville itself was a “Hot Brown”. What better place to sample this local treat than in the hotel that bears its name. Originally created by Fred K. Schmidt in 1926, […]
Brown’s Diner – Nashville, TN
Occasionally, we end up at a spot to eat and Jo won’t get out of the car. On more than one occasion, she has been right. When we arrived at Brown’s Diner (which was on my original list – from Hamburger America) I understood completely what George meant when he wrote: “To the untrained eye, […]
Puckett’s Grocery & Restaurant – Nashville, TN
I was very excited as we planned the trip to Nashvegas to see that that the Grand Ole Opry would be at the Ryman on the weekend we were in town. We had taken the girls to The Opry over at Opryland twelve or thirteen years ago, but it wasn’t the experience I remembered as […]
Burger Up – Nashville, TN
I heard about Burger Up in the USA Today 51 Burger Joints Across the USA article. It said, “Known for local beef and organic fare from area farms, the new Burger Up in Nashville is based on “thoughtful consumerism.” Feeling the hot chicken hangover from Prince’s Hot Chicken, organic fare sounded pretty good…. We arrived […]
Prince’s Hot Chicken – Nashville, TN
When we were heading to Nashville, one of the first food goals was hot chicken. What is hot chicken, you ask? It is a Nashville creation and a local delicacy, created by marinating the chicken in buttermilk, then breading it then rubbing it with a paste that is heavily spiced with cayenne pepper. And the […]
Zarzour’s Cafe – Chattanooga, TN
I first read about Zarzour’s Cafe in Hamburger America, four or five years ago when I got my first copy of the first edition of the book, and added it to my list then. It had always been a matter of timing: they’re open M-F 11:00-3:30 and I was always only either: a) driving through […]
Bud and Allie’s Taco Bar – Seaside, FL (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.
Singleton’s Seafood Shack – Mayport, FL
On the way back to the Jacksonville airport from a meeting in Southeast Georgia, we had plenty of time to stop for dinner. The last time that we were making this swing (on a trip that included the Gold House and St. Mary’s Seafood and More), we discussed going to Singleton’s Seafood Shack but realized […]
