As I was heading back home on a business trip out of Omaha, I realized that I had just enough time before I had to be at the airport to make one burger stop.  I had checked Hamburger America and all of my lists on Sunday night and the only place that was a possibility […]

If you’re one of my three regular readers, you may think that the building above looks familiar – you’d be correct (check out this entry).  As we drove by a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that the name had changed.  Again.  I had eaten there in at least three previous iterations, but when I […]

What an appropriate question!  After an afternoon meeting in Jesup, I was heading back towards Savannah when I passed the barbecue place that I hadn’t seen until AFTER lunch.  Since it had been almost three hours since I’d last eaten, I thought it would likely be okay to stop for a snack.  When I walked […]

Driving toward Jesup I was, as always, searching for just the right place for lunch. Google-ing on the way down for South Georgia barbecue restaurants, I ran across a blog post about the Rusty Pig in Glennville, which looked like it might be a good choice. We could actually re-route and drive through Glennville and […]

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. For the last several month, all of the buzz on the restaurant blogs has been about the opening of Ford Fry’s newest venture, king + duke. When our daughter mentioned it (after reading about it on line) as a potential destination for her birthday dinner, I did not hesitate to make […]

On a rare Saturday afternoon without any plans (including for lunch), we found ourselves on the road between Austell and Kennessaw. As we were meeting some folks for dinner, I saw a chance to knock another restaurant off my “list” – Staq’s BBQ in Smyrna. They’ve been on the list since the 2011 Atlanta Magazine […]

On the way home from the track, I was starving – the mozzarella and tomato sandwich from noon time was long gone.  As we were getting back on the road, I remember having seen the sign on I-65 for Dizzy Whiz (since 1947).  I searched for their address on my phone and we headed in […]

On Oaks Day, we found ourselves downtown just in time for lunch.  On all of my lists, the only food on any of them in Louisville itself was a “Hot Brown”.   What better place to sample this local treat than in the hotel that bears its name.  Originally created by Fred K. Schmidt in 1926, […]

As we prepared to head out of town for the weekend, I took the opportunity of being off work to stop by the county tag office and get the renewals for a couple of vehicles. As it was early and we were in need of food for the journey, we stopped by Audry’s, in Dallas, […]

In DC for a business meeting, I decided to blow off the cocktail party and go for a walk – to the Jefferson Memorial.  In all of the years that I’ve been traveling to the Capitol, I have been fortunate enough to see most of the monuments except for those on the southern-most side of […]
