Texas burgers are different. While the basic burger at most of the places I visit are based on a sixth-, fifth- or quarter-pound burger, often served as a double, the foundational Texas burger is a half-pounder. I’ll have to admit, I’m fond of the idea. Kincaid’s opened in the mid-forties as a grocer with a […]
So on the same adventure that took me to burger spots Kincaid’s, Maple & Motor and Keller’s, I had the chance to have dinner with a friend on Monday night. He lives almost in Keller (no relation to the burger joint mentioned above, to my knowledge), just north of Fort Worth, and we were pretty […]
The fourth and final stop on the Kansas burger tour – Bionic Burger. After the disappointment at Nuway, I was still hungry and we had plenty of time to kill before our flight. So I hit the Hamburger America app on my phone and looked at burger joints added by fans. Bionic Burger was there. […]
Stop number three on the Kansas burger tour – heading back from Winfield home – we drove back to Wichita to fly home. Nuway Cafe was the second of our pre-determined stop. I read about the crumbly burgers in the “burger bible” and was intrigued. Back in the 1930s, the founder left Iowa with a […]
So, when I go to the Walnut Valley Festival (they call it “the Bluegrass”, we call it “Winfield”), there are generally abundances of three things: music, friends and food. Most of the time we eat in camp, but occasionally we go out, (like the jaunt to the Burger Station), but the other choice is food […]
Once we got to the the Walnut Valley Festival, I was moderately consigned to the fact that the best food we’d have outside camp was the fair food on the midway. So while chatting with some friends at their campsite (about my preternatural fascination with cheeseburgers, among other things), one of the locals said, “Have […]
Last week, the answer to almost every question was, “I can’t. I’m going to Winfield.” One of few the questions with a different answer was, “would you like a cheeseburger?” “Yes, almost always.” Starting our pilgrimage to the Walnut Valley Festival, we flew into Wichita. Consulting the oracle at Hamburger America before we left, I […]
In the continuing pursuit of Atlanta’s best restaurants, we went to Cakes and Ale in Decatur, #3 from the August, 2011 Atlanta Magazine article. Cakes and Ale has recently relocated just down from the Iberian Pig in Decatur. In fact, when I first called to make the reservation, they were closed for the move. So […]
Whenever we’re along the Emerald Coast, we manage to squeeze in a dinner at the Red Bar. That generally means getting there right after they open. It’s a bar, plain and simple. As you pass through the freaky door, you enter a place that is SO PACKED with tables and people that you wonder how […]
Sometimes you end up with a burger in an “odd” place. We went to the Great Southern Cafe in Seaside, FL, for lunch. You may, or may not, be familiar with Seaside. It is a highly planned community between Panama City and Destin on 30A. It was also the backdrop for the movie the Truman […]
