The Dairy Bar in Port Orange, Florida
While staying in Daytona Beach, my wife Marcela and I would cross a bridge to the mainland. On our third to last day there, I noticed a little shack out of the corner of my eye with the words Dairy Bar (55 Dunlawton Avenue, Port Orange) in red. It was right before getting on the…
Green Lantern, Rudy’s Hot Dog, & White Tower in Toledo
On my drive from Lansing, Michigan to Columbus, Ohio, we stopped in at White Tower in Toledo, Ohio, for a spell. The plan was to grab a burger and look around for some antique shops. White Tower White Tower was the number one stop on my itinerary. Once upon a time, the White Tower was a…
Grandstanz in Calhoun, Georgia
I noticed the Grandstanz (1052 Red Bud Rd NE, Calhoun) farmhouse building right next door to the gas station we’re at with a billboard that says “Ain’t No Better Biscuit Burger or Fries.” We had stopped for some gas in Calhoun, Georgia on the way to my book signing road trip’s first stop in Kentucky….

I’ve had Swensons Drive-In (7490 Sawmill Road, Dublin, Ohio) on my Burger Bucket List for years.

Sakaya Kitchen in Midtown Miami, Florida
It’s easy to take something for granted. It’s been years since I first stepped foot inside of Sakaya Kitchen (3401 N Miami Avenue #125) at Midtown. Back then, Midtown was not what it is today. Chef Richard Hales took a chance on opening in a former seafood spot. I remember reading about Sakaya Kitchen and thinking…
