While camping in Pine Mountain with some friends, we were out roaming through all the stores in the surrounding towns. While checking out the Meriwether County visitor center in Warm Springs, I heard someone ask the guide about Duck’s Trolly, in Manchester. “Best burger around,” was the reply. That did it for me. When discussions […]
Another spot from the original 2006 food list, Floataway Cafe, was our dining destination tonight. After eleven years, we were finally near the right place at dinner time, so I used the Resy app to make a reservation. We headed toward Emory, then down Zonolite road, into an industrial park. Near the dead end, we […]
For the last several years, I’ve been intending to eat at Antica Posta. But as they are only open for dinner and in the heart of Buckhead, visits to that space / time crossroads, without having other plans, are few and far between. As I was right around the corner, on Maple Street, and heading […]
Back last spring, I finally made it to Pho Dai Loi 2 on Buford Highway, after it having been on my list for more than 10 years. As we were heading home from the airport, I asked my beloved where we should lunch and received a very committed “I want pho.” I punched “pho” into […]
No trip to Nashville, for me, is complete without some hot chicken. We had driven up for the day for the flea market and some roaming around and were getting ready to head back home, as dinner time approached. Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack is the pinnacle for me and we’ve been to the original (Ewing […]
On a Saturday trip to Nashville, we spent the morning at the flea market (one of the best in the South and worth the trip, IMO) and were looking for lunch. I had one particular place in mind and found a parking place right across the street. Only to find a line of 45-50 people […]
As we headed back home from Little Rock, it looked like we would be driving through Memphis around lunch. This was completely unplanned. I looked at the list for options and, being Sunday, there were limited options. Coming through, on the south side, at lunch time (see their hours above) narrowed it down to one […]
We weren’t leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight, but we were heading home from Winfield and looking for lunch (in all the wrong places?) when we got to Tulsa. (Note: That’s TWO thinly-veiled 80s country song references in one sentence!) This placed us at Linda-Mar Drive In (actually across the street in the grocery store […]
Heading from Nashville toward Paducah, we stopped at the Kentucky visitors center on I-24 and asked if there were any barbecue places in that part of the state serving mutton (this is a “thing” in the Owensboro area of Kentucky). The lady said that she thought that Knoth’s Bar-B-Que, over in Grand River, might and […]
Heading to the beach for Labor Day weekend, we left early enough in the day that lunch would be in Macon. That meant finally making it to H&H Restaurant. H& H is somewhat of a legend in Georgia restaurant and music circles, as one of the founders of the restaurant, “Mama Louise” Hudson, first fed […]
