My Name is Bill, and I am a Foodie

Gotta admit, most, if not all my adventures have a food stop or two in them,  The "Road to Atlanta" is full of them.

 Pillow Donuts:  We cannot even get outta town without a stop at Pillow Donuts.  Thankfully, there are now two locations, one in Flowood, and one in Ridgeland.  . My personal favorite is the apple fritter:

Not overcooked, and coated with melted sugar to perfection!  I've tried apple fritters at other establishments, but none come close to Pillow Donuts. Their regular donuts and specialty items are equally good, but hey, fritter or nothing.

Our next stop either going or coming, is in Tuscaloosa;
Dreamland Barbeque.  This is the original joint, and believe me, nothing has ever changed in that place.  You sit down, and the waitress "tells" you what "she" is gonna start you off with, which is usually sauce, a slab (or more, depending on crowd size) of ribs, and white bread.  That's it!  In more recent years they added nanner puddin' and a few other items.  Here you can see me enjoying a bone or two:

 

Tried "takeout" a time or two, but it just ain't the same.

 

In Birmingham, its all about the Cheese cake from the:

 

 Cheesecake Factory.  I hate it when I walk by the refrigerated counter with all of the varieties of cheesecake that are available.  And for some reason, we can never share!

 

In Atlanta, we have quite a few places we try to hit, including:

 

The Varsity. 

 Whatta Ya Have!?

 

Just love their chili dogs, chili burgers, and fried apple and peach pies!  The only thing that was new that I could tell was the electronic Menu board.  And onion rings, OMG, da rings!

 

The Orient Express:

This place has it all when it comes to oriental food:  Sushi, Chinese, and Hibachi

We can just have the sushi, but what's raw fish without a Sapporo?

.

 

Buckhead Diner:

For us, its the appetizers.Their homemade tater chips with maytag blue cheese dressing is to die for.  And the calamari, will make you slap your momma!

 

 

 

Fogo de Chao

This is a meat eaters paradise.  Spent a small fortune here on Matthew's 21st birthday.  He is 26 and still talks about that night, including the Grappa!

 

 

 

Ikea:

Furniture, right?  Wrong!  Ikea has some of the best cinnamon rolls.  You smell them when you go in and you smell them as you are checking out.  Actually resisted one today.

 

These are but a few examples of my "food vice".  And always looking for more.
