Alton Brown's Favorite Restaurants Across America
BY Elettra Pauletto
The Red Eye Mule
As a resident of Marietta, it's only natural that Alton Brown should have a favorite local restaurant. The Red Eye Mule seems to be one of them.
According to the Food Network, Brown's favorite item on the menu is Jake's Sloppy Slaw Burger, which comes with what Brown calls "juicy looseness" drippings.
The Flycatcher Club
The Flycatcher Club caught Brown's attention due to its tasty and fulfilling burger. He first tried the burger at the restaurant's sister location, Bar Arbolada.
The burger features thin patties with a crisp exterior and juicy interior. Brown went on X to declare that Oklahoma City has "the best double cheeseburger in America."
Eventide Oyster Co.
When it comes to seafood restaurants in Maine, Brown's top recommendation is Eventide Oyster Co. in Portland.
He told USA Today that Eventide was the best oyster bar he'd ever been to, particularly praising the fried oyster bun and the brown butter lobster roll.
Hank's Franks
While New Jersey might be overlooked as a food destination, according to Alton Brown, Hank's Franks in Lodi is a standout establishment.
The unpretentious hot dog stand is so good that Brown told USA Today, "If I could turn on everyone in America to one hot dog, this would be it."
Seed Kitchen & Bar
Given how much Brown seems to eat out in and around Atlanta, it's high praise that Seed Kitchen & Bar is among his top three favorite restaurants.
Steeped in a New American culinary tradition, the restaurant delivers tasty dishes that include American favorites. Brown told Eater Atlanta he eats there at least once a week.
