Having a chance to be in Vegas for a couple of days for a conference, this of course led to food opportunities. I was shocked (SHOCKED, I tell you) when I went to my burger reference points and I had no places listed to try. The Burger Bar at the Wynn was mentioned in a […]
For years, as I’ve been traveling back and forth to Odessa for business, I’ve seen the Permian Basin Hamburger Company. I’ve even tried to eat there on a couple of occasions. But until today, the stars had not so aligned themselves as to allow it. The menu, on the outside wall, appeared straight-forward,so I went […]
While having a world of fun at “the bluegrass” (Walnut Valley Festival), we were talking with some friends about our plans for returning home and they asked if I had burger-stop planned before flying from Wichita. I told them we had tried Jack’s North High, Nuway and Bionic Burger on a previous trip. Altitude Boy […]
So on a Saturday afternoon, we’re heading back from Rome (after visiting our youngest at Berry) and approaching dinner time. If you’ve ever driven from metropolitan Rome to metropolitan Douglasville, you know that the towns through which you pass (Aragon, Yorkville and Rockmart) are not known as culinary Meccas. In fact, the only non-chains once […]
A couple of weeks back, I heard that a new BBQ spot had opened on the Westside, of which the proprietor was Mike LaSage (the chef behind Monday night barbecue at P’Cheen). When I was deciding where to grab a bite down town and found myself on Howell Mill, my memory kicked in and down […]
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.
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Home from college for the weekend and asked “where would you like to eat tomorrow”, our youngest said, “I really don’t care. Unless you want to go to that place for pimiento cheese.” I knew “that place” was Rosebud. So we headed to Morningside. Several years ago, we went to what-was-then-Food-101 […]
About two weeks ago there was an article in the Atlanta Business Chronicle about the “burger wars” in Atlanta and one of the contenders was BGR: the Burger Joint. A place of which I’d never heard. Hmmmm. Challenge accepted. Plotting a trip into the city, we found ourselves in the parking garage of Atlantic Station, […]
For the last four years, I’ve been intending to eat at Rathbun’s but, for whatever reason, it hadn’t worked out. When we were looking for a dinner spot for four and the place Jo had chosen had recently closed, I thought today might be the day. I went to Rathbun’s and there was an opening […]
As our youngest was preparing to head back to college, we asked if there was a particular place that she would like to eat. Her first thought was Papi’s Cuban & Caribbean Grill, on Ponce de Leon. I’ve said for years that the best Cuban sandwich in Atlanta was at the old Havana Sandwich Shop. […]
