I love desserts, sweet treats, candies, cakes, cupcakes, and anything sweet. We’ve been traveling the USA coast-to-coast for years and compiled a list of some of the most creative, fresh, decadent, savory, and sweet treats everyone can enjoy.
If you are a true sweets lover, you’ll love this list. The great thing about this list is that you can visit one of the sweet treat locations in person to enjoy the sweet deliciousness or have them shipped. That’s right! Most can be shipped directly to your home, office, or anywhere with an address. It’s easy, and you can enjoy what we’ve been enjoying for years.
What is a sweet treat? A sweet treat is a unique and enjoyable food, such as candy, cookies, pies, pastries, desserts, donuts, chocolate bars, chocolate creations, and so much more. So many sweet treats are available that it’s truly an endless adventure. Sweet treats are good for your soul and can make you happy, pleasurable, and euphoric with every bite you take.
I’ve been addicted to discovering the best for years. In my travels, I found some fantastic dessert locations, candy shops, cookie makers, confectionery creators, and many others. I wanted to share them with you so we can all enjoy some savory, sweet deliciousness for the holidays.
Buckle up! It’s time to ride the sweet train to Deliciousville:

Today, we’re at the world-famous LEWIS BARBECUE in Charleston, South Carolina, to research the meaty deliciousness we’ve heard so much about. This is where pitmaster and barbeque legend John Lewis has created a world of his own in the vast field of freshly prepared barbeque and eats. If you know me and my addiction to creative chefs, pitmasters, and culinary pioneers, you know why we had to make the trip.
When you make the corner and pull up toLEWIS BARBECUE, you notice the massive modern restaurant that bears his name. To be honest, it’s breathtakingly beautiful and totally unexpected. Set up with a beautiful Charleston landscape encompassing large southern trees, it’s inviting, cozy, and warm. You feel right at home or in someone’s backyard enjoying BBQ. But you’re not! You’re at the world-famous LEWIS BARBECUE fixing to slang back some of the BEST BBQ in the United States.
I live for telling back stories because anything tastes better with a little story-ness behind it. A trailblazer in the neo-traditional style of Central Texas barbecue, Pitmaster John Lewis uses his custom-made smokers to produce expertly smoked pork spareribs, beef ribs, “Texas hot guts“ sausage, and his legendary world-famous beef brisket.
Barbeque lovers unite! We discovered a NEW delicious barbeque destination that every meat lover should visit. Welcome toPalmira Barbequein Charleston, South Carolina. When we heard about this now famous little BBQ joint you know we had to make the trip. We wanted to meet pitmaster Hector who is masterfully combining South Carolina, Texas, and Puerto Rico flavors to create award-winning and famous meaty deliciousness.
Palmira Beef Cheek Perfection
When I say famous and award-winning it’s a FACT! They’ve been featured in Forbes, Southern Living, The Local Palate, EATER Carolinas, Charleston Magazine,The Post and Courier, RESY, andTexas Monthly and I’m sure there’s more to come. We’ve been traveling coast-to-coast, from Los Angeles to Miami and every in-between, on the hunt for America’s BEST BBQ. We’ve visited thirty-one states on our BEST BBQ mission. It was only fitting after I read, researched, and viewed all the delicious social media posts Palmira was a must-visit for us.
If you follow our foodie and travel adventures, you know I love to tell the backstories. I’m a firm believer that anything tastes better with a good story. This is why the Palmira story was so intriguing to me because pitmaster and owner Hector Garatehas an interesting family history. Buckle up it’s story time!
When we visited, I was honored to spend some time with Hector walking around his smokehouse area and discussing the finer details of his success. We also discussed his passion for designing and creating custom smokers. He showed me his latest whole hog smoker and it was beautiful. After speaking with Hector, I noticed that his passion for creating BBQ perfection was only matched by his love for serving people and seeing them smile with the satisfaction of deliciousness.
Hector’s passion for BBQ started at an early age and has not stopped him from perfecting his craft since. Born in Puerto Rico, he was exposed to whole animal cooking pra early on. Hector specializes in smoking beef cheeks, brisket, whole hog, and house-made sausages. In the pursuit of creating the best product, Garate devoted their free time to building his custom cooking appliances, in particular an offset smoker. Hector has partnered with Brasstown Beef, Creekstone Farms, and Peculiar Pig Farms to source the most sustainable farm-to-table smoked meats for Charleston, SC through Palmira Barbecue. Palmira Barbecue’s name is an homage to Hector’s grandmother, who grew up on a sustainable cattle ranch.

DO YOU LOVE OOEY, GOOEY, MEATY, DELICIOUS DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERS? I discovered the BEST cheeseburger chain restaurants offering the BEST double cheeseburgers in AMERICA so you can enjoy them!
USA Best Chain Cheeseburger Restaurants on Dr. Phil
I’m so happy because it’s National Double Cheeseburger Day 2024in the USA! We decided to have a BURGER PARTY on Dr. Phil’s Merit Street TVwith my TOP TEN National chain burger choices. There are a multitude of fantastic national burger chains offering fresh, cheesy, and delicious double cheeseburger options. I know this because I’ve been in the BURGER business my entire life. I want to share my tasty burger discoveries with you so everyone can enjoy an unforgettable DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER.
I’ve eaten burgers coast to coast for decades and have noticed in my travels that burgers are one of the most sought-after sandwiches in the world. The burger business is crazy in the U.S.A. and the consumption numbers are unbelievable. We sold 50 billion burgers in 2023 alone in the USA. WHICH MEANS THE AVERAGE AMERICAN EATS ABOUT 3 BURGERS A WEEK. McDonald’s alone sells 75 burgers a second! What? Yes, 75 burgers a second! This roughly breaks down as 4,500 burgers every minute, 270,000 every hour, 6.48 million a day, and 2.36 billion burgers yearly. 50 Billion burgers sold in the USA is shocking, but I know how many folks love a succulent, savory, and delicious burger.
Let’s talk about what makes a DELICIOUS CHEESEBURGER. First, you have to start with a fresh and tasty bun. The patty has to be 100% beef combined with the freshest vegetables or toppings. When you combine these steps, you can achieve a very tasty burger. It’s important to remember that a mojority of chain restaurants use custom sauce creations and other creative options that creates a unique burger style for their brand.
All this being said let’s see who has the TOP 10 DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERS NATIONALLY so you can chow down.
