Todd Brock, who handles all things Atlanta for the crew at Serious Eats, just posted his thoughts on Burger Tap, a restaurant I checked out a few weeks back. Brock was a little more jaunted by the unusual and somewhat quizzical shape of the burgers than I; but he went on to say: That shape …

The burger’s answer to the Rice Krispie just landed in Atlanta. While Snap, Crackle, and Pop serve as tripped out figments of my imagination, Buckhead’s Smashburger insists that we are all witness to smash, sizzle, and savor their flat-topped burger offerings.

John T. Edge has been showing up all over the place lately (and quite a bit in my twitter feed). The guy just rocks it. Just a short time ago, Edge’s article on Atlanta’s own Big Green Egg hit the New York Times. For those that don’t know, Ed Fisher used to sell kamados (a …
