Popped into DBGB last night for dinner with some old friends.  After looking at the menu I remember that I have a morbidly obese friend who runs a burger website, and decided I should order one of the burgers.  I ordered The Yankee, while a friend of mine took down The Piggie (lol?).  The Yankee was simple, but certainly above average.  Six ounces of beef, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, VT cheddar & bacon.  The Piggie was slightly more interesting consisting of the same 6 oz. patty, topped with Daisy May’s bbq pulled pork, jalapeno mayonnaise & boston lettuce on a cheddar-cornbread bun with mustard-vinegar slaw.  Both above average, but modest in size.

As my friends and I are all total health nuts & beach season is here, we prefaced our burgers with two orders of sausages.  One sweet, one spicy.  The sweet was named Chipolata – a pork sausage with “pommes mousseline” (mashed potatos)  and summer truffle.  The spicy goes by Toscane – a pan roasted Italian sausage with tomato, chili and garlic.  Not ideal if you plan on making out right after dinner, but tasty nonetheless.  We also had a salad, however I do not blog about lettuce, unless it is on a burger.

Wine and beers are moderately priced and DBGB is definitely worth returning to.

ROADFOOD.com-Although this fine old dairy bar has a menu of sandwiches and hot meals and is justly famous for its homemade ice cream, its way with cheeseburgers is nothing short of spectacular. Three or four slices of cheese extend far beyond the edges of the burger as it cooks, so the cheese melts directly onto the surface of the grill, turning chewy and crisp. The hamburger with its soft cheese on top and its halo of textured cheese all around is hefted onto a bun to become one memorable sandwich!

Here she is in Hawaii (again), filming scenes for a new Adam Sandlermovie. Hopefully her role involves lots of running and jumping. If not maybe one of the readers in Hawaii can go over and throw a shark at her.

Best flipped upside down and eaten as fast as humanly possible to manage its gushiness, the burger created by Chef Linton Hopkins is as much an event as it is a sandwich. A bullhorn sounds at 10 p.m. (official burger time), and the crowd goes wild. Hesitate a minute and the limited quantity (they make only two dozen a night) will be gone. The glossy buns baked in their bakery next door contain two patties of freshly ground, grass-fed beef (chuck and brisket in equal proportions), a slice of Kraft American cheese, a pinch of raw red onion, bread-and-butter pickles, homemade ketchup, and yellow mustard. Crisp golden fries are part of the deal. Those who miss out on the burger can always come back for Sunday brunch, when the kitchen makes 72 of them. —Christiane Lauterbach, Atlanta Magazine restaurant columnist
