"While on vacation in the Georgia mountains, we took a side trip to the Dawsonville GA racing Hall of Fame (Excellent!) and then to the famous "Dawsonville Pool Room". We had the great pleasure to meet Mr. Gordon Pirkle, the colorful proprietor. But the real highlight of the visit was the hamburger, The Bully Burger. Simple, balanced, an old fashioned work of art. Well worth the trip just for the burger. This is definitely one of the best burgers I have ever had!! Don't miss the Pool Room for it's racing history and one great burger." - Chef Dave Del Rio
