Everyone has there favorite toppings:  pickles, tomatoes or cheese, your burger isn’t a burger until it has your special toppings.

We’ll go in search of the best burger and we won’t go too far, after all this is a staycation.  We are heading down the road to Atlanta where Chef Linton Hopkins offers a GREAT burger in his restaurant, Holeman and Finch.

And, we’ll have some tips for parents and students hitting the road to return to school.

Our guest will be Chef Linton Hopkins

Linton Hopkins is an internationally celebrated chef with deep Atlanta roots. After graduating from Emory University and the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park, NY, Hopkins honed his skills at restaurants in New Orleans and Washington, DC. It was in DC that Hopkins met his wife Gina. The pair moved back to Hopkins’ hometown to open Restaurant Eugene on Peachtree Road in 2004 and quickly caught the attention of media and food lovers throughout the country with their unique vision of hospitality and community-driven cuisine.

The Hopkins opened Restaurant Eugene’s sister establishments Holeman & Finch Public House and H&F Bread Co. in 2008, followed by a service-focused retail wine and spirits shop, H&F Bottle Shop, in 2011.  In 2009, Hopkins was crowned one of Food and Wine Magazine’s Best New Chefs, and after several James Beard Award nominations for Best Chef – Southeast, Chef Hopkins took home the prize in 2012.  His latest endeavors include 3 H&F Burger outposts in Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves, and Eugene Kitchen, a proprietary food and beverage development company that will make available to retailers and foodservice operators many of the from scratch pantry products that have made his restaurants so distinctive.

Hopkins is especially committed to celebrating the rich bounty of Georgia farms through his meticulous and loving house-made preparations of natural meats and fresh, local produce.  He helped found the Peachtree Road Farmer’s Market, and is a member of Georgia Organics chef’s advisory committee, the Atlanta Local Foods Initiative, and Food & Wine Magazine’s Grow for Good campaign.

Co-hosting with me on Saturday will be Doc Bill with Sapelo Island Birdhouses, Ida Creal with Global Sun and Fun Travel and special guest co-host Doris Jusino Sales Executive with the Puerto Rico Tourism Board.
