Harden’s Hamburgers is a place that’s been on my radar since I bought my first copy of Hamburger America. And then a couple of folks, from Tulsa, gave it to me as a recommendation over the last couple of years, when I asked about “great burgers” from their hometown. We were heading to the bluegrass […]
>As we were driving to Kansas, it was approaching lunch time and we were in Mississippi. I put “barbecue” into Google maps and several popped up. Clay’s House of Pig (C.H.O.P.) had the best name and was not too far off I-40, so off we went. Pulling up to a restaurant that shares space with […]
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.
The last time we were in Nashville, one place that popped up on every best burger list was Emmy Squared Pizza. I thought it a bit odd that a burger from a pizza place was on these “best of” lists, but who would lie about such things on the Internet? (Actually, they won Nashville’s Battle […]
This week I found a new restaurant, of all places, in my inbox. This week’s Gravy for Breakfast email, from Southern Foodways Alliance, was all about Warung Indonesian Halal Restaurant. I won’t reiterate the whole article, but this restaurant was born of the pandemic and has included Halal in their name and seen it make […]
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. I can say that Hollywood, AL, is a town with a population and this restaurant, opened in 1946, was part of a Saturday journey down the […]
A barbecue place that advertises on the “North Alabama barbecue trail” but calls itself comfort food, on their signage, does not portend well. Nonetheless, our second stop, after Dale’s BBQ, was to give 50 Taters a try. With two strikes against it (giant parking lot filled with vehicles that were not trucks / building not […]
On a ridiculously hot Saturday, I decided we needed to explore a section of the “North Alabama Barbecue Trail”. Being slightly OCD, I do enjoy a good list – one that I can check things off of, as I complete them. I was guided to the existence of this list by a podcast episode of […]
For the last two plus years, I’ve continuously heard about / read about Pinky Cole’s Slutty Vegan. The original location, on Edgewood, has had lines out the door every time we’ve been by. And since, frankly, I am a dyed-in-the-wool carnivore, I wasn’t too excited about standing in line to eat vegan food. I had […]
Looking for lunch on a Thursday, I saw a new sign on what used to be Curry-licious, for Birreria Landeros. Going in, I recognized the tables and bar, but the wall art and vibe was very different. I was the only person there, so the young man asked me if I wanted some music or […]
