Auburn, Alabama\u2026. \u201cLoveliest village on the plain\u201d\u2026. This East Alabama city is a treasure.  It\u2019s got a small-town atmosphere, but also lots of action going on with Auburn University located here.  I grew up believing that you go to high school and then you go to Auburn!  As a child, I was able to experience the thrill of college football at Jordan Hare Stadium, and when I was old enough to go to Auburn, that\u2019s exactly what I did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auburn is located off of I-85 and is just about halfway from home to Atlanta; so it\u2019s a great place to stop for a meal!  Plus, we have family in Auburn, so that\u2019s an even better reason to pull off the highway!  And when a meal and family collide, I\u2019d say you have a winning combination!  And that\u2019s just what happened this past Monday afternoon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cavin and I had a meet-up at Baumhower\u2019s Victory Grille<\/a> with my brother and sister-in-law.  It\u2019s been a favorite of ours for a while!  Our family loves hot wings, and they are known for them!  In fact, they were built on wings 40 years ago, and have added to their menu since then.  They also have top-notch burgers and pizza.  When I heard Cavin order the \u201cHot Lips\u201d, it made me laugh!  They are actually boneless hot wings tossed with hot sauce.  And yes, when he finished, he had some very hot lips!  I chose the \u201cGooey Burger\u201d.  This half-pound burger is topped with scratch-made Blanco cheese & applewood-smoked bacon and served on a brioche bun.  It was definitely Baumhower\u2019s for the victory!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We loved SAMPLING AUBURN\u2026.  Too bad we didn\u2019t have time to sample a few other restaurants there.  Now on to the next adventure of SAMPLING THE SOUTH\u2026. one restaurant at a time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
