Burger 21 had been mentioned to me by several different folks – one day I even found a newspaper article about it in my inbox when I got to the office – over the last couple of weeks, but no one had been there yet. Today I went to see what they were talking about. […]
A couple of weeks back we were having dinner with my daughter and her boyfriend and talking about food. What else would we discuss while we were eating? He mentioned this place in downtown Buford, Rico’s World Kitchen, and asked me if I had ever been. I had not. Intrigued at the idea of a […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. (I realized as I was writing this that I was really overusing parentheticals. Then I tried to stop using parantheses (but I couldn’t). Pardon me in advance.) I had seen the sign for the Great American Burger Boutique and Ale (G.A.B.B.A) several times, driving north on Peachtree Industrial. I just wasn’t […]
In a earlier post about Five Guys, I commented that there were three great chains in this country, all that used fresh ground beef – Five Guys, Steak N Shake and In-N-Out, further commenting: “My friends would contend that Whataburger belongs there, but I disagree as I don’t believe they make their burgers out of […]
About two weeks ago, Grant from Marie, Let’s Eat, sent me an email suggesting that we find a barbecue place that neither one of us had written about and meet for lunch or dinner. I told Jo about it and she said, “That’s sweet. You have a “man-date””. Then she cautioned that “it would […]
To the best of my knowledge, there are three great burger chains in this country: Five guys; Steak and Shake; and In-N-Out Burger. My friends would contend that Whataburger belongs there, but I disagree as I don’t believe they make their burgers out of fresh ground beef – the prime non-taste related criteria for moving […]
On multiple previous occasions, I had tried to go to Nu-Way Weiner Stand and failed. It seems that we always were driving through Macon either before lunch or on a Sunday, neither being times that worked (they’re open 6:00 am – 7:00 pm weekdays and 7:00 am – 6:00 pm on Saturday). Over a holiday […]
We’ve been traveling to St. Simons Island since the mid 90s. My boss had a place on the island for several years back when we were young marrieds with young kids and he would let us stay there during the summer. Back then, Barbara Jean’s always seemed like such an upscale place, down in the […]
The last time that I was in Brunswick, someone asked me if I had been to Sal’s Neighborhood Pizza on St Simons Island yet. Then MLE reported on it, during their last southeast Georgia swing. As we were in coastal Georgia, with a down-time day at the beach, I knew what we were going to […]
As we were looking for a nice place for dinner, Jo was Facebooking with one of her friends about Savannah. I heard what was written and thought that her friend suggested that we eat at Rocks on the River (in the Grand Bohemian). I booked reservations and was feeling pretty good about myself. As we […]
