Barefoot BBQ – Seaside, FL

September 3, 2011 · by · in Barbecue, Florida · Leave a comment

So, after my bad dinner / Jo’s excellent dinner at the Shrimp Shack, I was still hungry.  As we walked back to the car, we came upon the wonders of AirStream dining at Seaside.  There are six trailers parked along 30A and, for my sudden snack need, I chose Barefoot BBQ. Barefoot is spread among […]

The Shrimp Shack, Seaside, FL

One of the challenges of going to the beach is deciding where you’re going to eat.  Do we eat at some place we know?  Or do we strike out on a new adventure?  Saturday night, we decided to try some place new.  We were heading down to Seaside, to either Bud and Alley’s Taco Bar […]

Country’s Barbecue – Troy, AL

September 2, 2011 · by · in Alabama, Barbecue · 1 Comment

For the last eight or nine years, we’ve headed toward the Redneck Riviera for Labor Day weekend where we share a house with two other families.  We’re always looking for a faster route and, about three years ago, we settled on the path that we now take: I-85 South to Waugh, AL AL80 to AL85 […]

Tom’s Barbecue & Deli – Memphis, TN

July 20, 2011 · by · in Barbecue, Tenneessee · Leave a comment

We were in Memphis for a funeral and were talking with folks about food, as we sat around afterwards.  I had my stand-bys in line (Interstate Barbecue and Rendevoux), but two folks told us about this place that we needed to try, over by the airport – Tom’s BarBQ and Deli. Before we headed over […]

Phillips Grocery – Holly Springs, MS

July 19, 2011 · by · in Burgers, Mississippi, Southeast · 1 Comment

After the disappointment in Amory, we took a series of two- and four-lane roads to Holly Springs, MS.  Bill’s was the first time that a burger from the book hadn’t been at least “good”, so I was hoping for a good experience at Phillips Grocery. The building was built in the late 1800s and started […]

Bill’s Hamburgers – Amory, MS

July 19, 2011 · by · in Burgers, Mississippi, Southeast · 2 Comments

So we were heading to Memphis and, lo and behold, along the future I-22 corridor between Birmingham and the birthplace of rock ‘n roll, lay two burger joints on “the list”.  The first was Bill’s Hamburgers in Amory, MS, just across the Mississippi line, leaving Alabama. As the sign says, it was founded in 1929.  […]

Ray’s Hell Burger, Arlington, VA

March 31, 2011 · by · in Burgers, Virginia · 2 Comments

The second burger stop in the DC area was triggered by the USA Today article, 51 Great Burger Joints – Ray’s Hell Burger in Arlington, Virginia.  Apparently, ever since Medvedev went for a burger, the place has been hopping.  They’ve even opened a branch, down the strip center (which has since closed).  They did also […]

The week before Savannah, we took Madison up to Asheville over her Spring Break.  On the way, we made a great burger stop at Northgate Soda Fountain in Greenville, SC. We had three major food stops in Asheville.  The first place was Tupelo Honey, off the downtown triangle.  One of our absolute favorite places to […]

Northgate Soda Shop, Greenville, SC

When Spring Break rolled around this year, the girls both had different weeks off from college.  One week we went with Colleen to Savannah to look for an apartment. The next week, we went with Madison to Ashevile, NC for a couple of days.  When I looked at the path up there, the Hamburger America […]

Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink, Miami, FL

February 25, 2011 · by · in Fine Dining, Florida · 1 Comment

In February, I had occasion to be in South Beach on business.  Coincident to this trip was the Miami Beach Food & Wine Festival.  So Jo and I decided to tack on an extra day or two to the trip.  Before we left, Jo had seen Michael Schwartz on “Martha” talking about his restaurant in […]
