Hudson’s Hamburgers – Couer d’Alene, ID
After driving across Washington state the day before, we rolled into northern Idaho, around lunch time. One of my friends declares that Couer d’Alene is the prettiest places in this country. So we headed toward down town and found that he was right. It was an early autumn day and the sun was shining on […]
Hire’s Big H – Salt Lake City, UT
On our mighty, ridiculously-speedy, cross-country drive, our journey was marked in miles, states and burger joints. We didn’t have much time for site seeing, but I did want to hit a few highlights – and the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City was one of those. Coincidentally, there were a couple of burger joints in […]
Richardson’s Mexican Cuisine – Phoenix, AZ (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.

George’s Bar & Grill (World Famous Burgers and Insults) – Cathedral City, CA
An unusual blog post in that we ended up not eating here: I found George’s Bar & Grill (World Famous Burgers & Insults) on the Hamburger America app, as we rolled into Palm Springs. It was 4:45 and the app said they closed at 5:30, so we drove eastward. I should have taken it as […]
The Tropicale – Palm Springs, CA (Photo Blog Post)
You know how servers are always pushing dessert? So the waiter comes back to the table and asks how it was. We tell they were both stellar and ask for a dessert menu. “After the pork chop??” As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the […]
Irv’s Burgers – Los Angeles, CA
Irv’s Burgers is part of the reason that this blog exists, in a weird, convoluted way. This all started with a visit to Mr. Bartley’s Burger Cottage in Cambridge, where I first heard about Hamburger America. That was a little over nine years ago. Like at Mr. Bartley’s, there was a placard on the counter, […]
Mesa – Las Vegas, NV
As we were planning out the week’s food events, we had originally planned to dine at Bartolotta Ristorante Di Mare. But the timing didn’t work out with other things, so instead we made a reservation at Bobby Flay’s Mesa, at Ceasar’s Palace. We arrived for an early dinner (5:45) and the place was already beginning to […]
Le Burger Brasserie – Las Vegas, NV
Looking for a quick bite before a meeting and seeing the variety of burger options available at Le Burger Brasserie , I thought it might be a good quick, lunch choice. Located in the Paris resort in Vegas (technically, it is in the walkway between the Paris and Bally’s resorts), it is, for all intents […]
