New Orleans used to be such an awful pizza town when I lived there; now, post Katrina, there are 50% more restaurants than before the storm, despite a smaller population, and there is food of every ilk available and much of it superb. Including pizza. My favorite pizza pre the influx of new comers… Continue reading Pizza Domenica Review New Orleans
Barcelona Tapas Bar
This was a family dinner, so there are no photos. Sorry. The restaurant’s website has quite a few food photos. Found this place on a walk in uptown, and returned later for a dinner, and (spoiler) it was superb. I’ve travel Spain and the rest of Europe, and my spawn has spent a significant… Continue reading Barcelona Tapas Bar
District Donuts Review – New Orleans
Personally, I’m not creative enough to think of a way to make an exquisite donut shop even better, but fortunately, the folks at District Donut, Sliders, and Brew in New Orleans are. The Garden District bakery offers beef and chicken sliders, as well as high quality ingredient daily specials and absolutely fabulous coffee in a… Continue reading District Donuts Review – New Orleans
The Best Ground Beef in America
There’s a large group of burger lovers, both consumers and restaurants, who tout the wonders of New York beef purveyor Pat LaFrieda as the best burger supplier in the U.S. LaFrieda services some of America’s finest restaurants with steaks and chops, and its various burger blends (original, short ribs, brisket, and dry-aged) have taken on… Continue reading The Best Ground Beef in America
Little Caesars Bacon Crust Pizza Review
A million years ago, I owned a business in Iowa, and every Friday nite, my key employee, his wife and baby would come over to our house, where we’d fire up a movie on the 7′ Sony big screen, and order a couple of pizzas from Little Caesars. At the time, LC’s “gimmick” was you… Continue reading Little Caesars Bacon Crust Pizza Review
Maries Salad Dressing Review
I admit to being a salad dressing snob, preferring the very premium brands. Eh? You’re saying you don’t believe BurgerDogBoy eats salad? Well, sure, on occasion. One of the groceries I frequent isn’t very ‘brand loyal” meaning from time to time, you’ll see different manufacturer’s products than you are used to. This week, in the… Continue reading Maries Salad Dressing Review
Cooter Browns Review – New Orleans
I’m not much of a beer drinker, but my go to dive bar in New Orleans is still Cooter Browns, home of 400 bottle brands, and over 80 beers on tap. The beer list rotates on occasion. It’s a laid back sports bar in the uptown area, on the St Charles streetcar, and an occasionally… Continue reading Cooter Browns Review – New Orleans
Epic Burger Review Chicago
Cooling my heels on a frosty downtown Chicago day, I bumped into Epic Burger, started in 2008 and now with eight Chicagoland locations. A straightforward, simplified menu, namely, a burger, a chicken sammie, turkey burger, portobello burger, fries, salad, snakes and fountain drinks, period. The emphasis is on quality ingredients, humanely raised, hormone free, and… Continue reading Epic Burger Review Chicago
Hannahs Bretzel Review
They call themselves “Uber Sandwich Makers,” having nothing to do with rides on demand. Hannah’s Bretzel make quality breakfast and lunch sandwiches with top ingredients and creative condiments at five different locations in downtown Chicago. Baked dessert treats are also on offer, as are daily specials and a couple of healthy-leaning salads and soups. I opted… Continue reading Hannahs Bretzel Review
Todays Temptations Bakery Review – Chicago
There’s a fancy pants food mini mall at the Ogilvie Transportation Center in downtown Chicago. The OTC is where a lot of the commuter trains terminate and it used to be called the Chicago and Northwestern Terminal, and old timers still call it that. The name was changed when the main building and facade was… Continue reading Todays Temptations Bakery Review – Chicago
