Not to be confused with the excellent Red Bridges, also in Shelby, Alston Bridges Barbecue has also been open for years. But there is no relation between the two restaurants, and their founders – other than that they both learned their craft at the pit of NC legend Warner Starney. Walking into the counter area, […]
THIS RESTAURANT HAS CLOSED Another find from Garden & Gun’s Fried Chicken Bucket List, LT’s Wings and Other Things was hailed as staying “busy, with lines out the door.” We arrived around 6:00 on a Saturday and seemed to hit at a good time – there was only one person waiting for food and a […]
For a (of recently) rare Saturday of roaming the city, we were heading to the Scott’s Antique Market. The State DOT wasn’t cooperating, however, as the exits to both Jonesboro Rd and Moreland Ave, east–bound on 285, were closed with roadwork. We had to sneak up on it, and found several spots to stop, along […]
This story is probably best told as the fried-chicken-that-almost-got-away. Camping over in Eufala, we were as close as we were going to be, in the forseeable future, to Blakely Chicken – within an hour’s drive. It had hit my radar in an article in Garden n Gun with this quote from Linton Hopkins: “If […]
Another post where it’s been so long since we’ve eaten there that I can’t remember the experience – Phil’s BBQ.
Tonight’s first dinner comes to you courtesy of an article from the July 2011 issue Travel and Leisure, called “The United States of Deliciousness”. In it, the chef at Beef & Barley raved about the Philly cheesesteak at Yum’s II. He said it was the best cheesesteak, outside of Philly. Challenge accepted. In town for […]
I hadn’t heard about Chris’ Hot Dogs until we got to Montgomery. I was telling someone about the glorious pulley bone at Martin’s, when they asked “Have you been to Chris’?” A quick search found out that they were a Montgomery institution that I’d never heard of – open since 1917. The next afternoon for […]
While hanging out for the weekend in metro Montgomery, one of the places I had planned to go to was Martin’s Restaurant. We had missed the chance when we were here last fall, and I intended not to do so again. They hit the radar originally with a list of 100 things to eat in […]
One day, while roaming southern Gwinnett county looking for lunch, I wandered by Off the Hook, on Lawrenceville Highway. In a shopping center, near a Jamaican restaurant that originally lured me in to the parking lot, you have to be careful and not end up at the Aldi, behind it. On my first visit, I […]
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.
