The Pharmacy Burger, Nashville

I’ve set out on a goal to visit all 50 states within the US before I die and I’m happy to report that by the end of summer, I should be at 29 out of 50. Over Valentine’s Day weekend, I was able to check off Tennessee from the list as the fiancée and I made our way down to Nashville for the weekend.

It’s a cool January evening in Atlanta and I’ve been left in charge of dinner reservations. My…

Au Cheval, Chicago

I came up with the idea for this blog several months ago while daydreaming about my next meal.

I passed by several fine dining options while working my way down Route 4 – Popeye’s, McDonalds, Wendy’s…none of these would suffice. My hangry mind had some crazy thoughts in the past, but amidst the fog in my brain, emerged an idea: a blog about burgers. And here we are. – – – An inaugural post for this endeavor required something special.
