One of the spots on my Memphis barbecue ‘to-do” list (along with being on the 29 BBQ Bucket List and Garden ‘N Gun’s “BBQ Bucket List”) is Cozy Corner Restaurant, near downtown. We arrived around 6:00 for “second dinner”. Owned and operated by Raymond Robinson and his family since the late 70s, Cozy Corner is […]
We actually tried to eat here earlier this month, but it was a Monday when we were driving thru – and they are open from Tuesday – Saturday. Open for about 90 years, Latham’s Hamburger Inn has been in this location since 1974. It was then that they moved from across the street, enclosing a […]
Driving home from “the bluegrass”, after spending the night near Little Rock, we rolled into Tupelo for a late lunch. As I had nothing in Tupelo on “the list” and nothing in mind, I searched for “best burger” in Tupelo and several links led me to the Neon Pig. The Neon Pig began in Tupelo […]
One of the fellows that I have worked with for years suggested Burn Company Barbecue as a spot that we had to stop when we were near Tulsa. There is a downtown location and one in Jenks, on the Riverwalk. Only the Jenks location was open on Sunday, so the choice was made for us. […]
On the heels of lunch, just 45 minutes before, we made a quick stop at Claud’s Hamburgers, in Tulsa, as we continued our road trip. Technically – I made a stop, as I was the only one eating at this time. Claud’s has been serving up burgers since 1954 (in this location since 1965) in […]
First lunch on this Tuesday takes us to Smokie’s Hickory House, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. We had left Atlanta on Monday afternoon and spent the evening near Conway, Arkansas, on our way to Kansas. After being on the tollway for a couple of hours, we pulled off in Broken Arrow and went looking for Smokies. […]
Heading west, we had been driving on I-40 for a while, when a barbecue stop was necessitated. Based on two references, over three or four years, from Garden ‘n Gun, we took the exit towards Devalls Bluff, Arkansas. As we approached the white sign for Craig’s Bar-B-Q, it looked like my kind of place. Middle […]
We’ve been going to Saint Simon’s Island since our kids were small. Now that they’re adults, with families of their own, we’ve started going back – renting a house for Labor Day weekend. One of the big questions is always, “what are we going to do for dinner?” There are a couple of regular haunts, […]
Everybody, everywhere, seems to be talking about Mashama Bailey lately (she was on CBS Saturday morning last weekend, for example). When we were heading to the beach, and going to be in Savannah for lunch, I had an idea where we’d be stopping: The Grey, where Ms Bailey is executive chef. In what was […]
