Saginaw, MN – Swamp Sisters
“The best burger I ever had,” claims Minnesota Burger Reporter Kawikamedia. That’s a pretty lofty endorsement. Swamp Sisters opened as a gift shop and retail outlet for the buffalo raised on the local farm, out in Sticksville, MN. OK, really the nearby town is named Saginaw, and it’s 22.2 miles from downtown Duluth, as the… Continue reading Saginaw, MN – Swamp Sisters
Portland, OR – Original Pancake House
The other day, one of my reviews on Yelp was called “mean and sarcastic” by a reader. I am known to be a sarcastic person by nature, but I tend to soft soap a lot of these posts, and really look for the good in each place I visit, and talk about it, regardless of… Continue reading Portland, OR – Original Pancake House
Portland, OR – Banning’s Restaurant and Pie Shop
Every once and awhile, all I want is a good piece of pie and a cup o joe, and Banning’s fills that need, 24 hours a day. If you don’t know Banning’s, it’s right off 217 on 99W (southbound), just a couple blocks off the exit, on the right. It’s one of the few places… Continue reading Portland, OR – Banning’s Restaurant and Pie Shop
Los Angeles Coffee Shops
When you see a billboard proclaiming “Esquire Magazine says best pancakes in USA”, you take note. And the place is Dupar’s, with several Southern California locations, as well as the flagship in the Los Angeles Farmer’s Market at 3rd and Fairfax. That location has been open since 1938, and a few years ago, was closed… Continue reading Los Angeles Coffee Shops

Manna for Minnesotans …. and it’s not Burgers!
I can’t think of many things a typical Minnesotan would rather eat than the State fish, the Walleye Pike. (OK, maybe some weird casserole involving spam and crumbled potato chips!) Fished both commercially and recreationally, the Walleye (which is really a member of the Perch family, not the Pike family), is both an exciting game… Continue reading Manna for Minnesotans …. and it’s not Burgers!
Portland, OR – Tasty n Sons
Portland is big on brunch, and Tasty n Sons aims to satisfy those urges, offering a “brunch only” menu all the time (open 9-3), which is both interesting AND tasty! Brought to us by the fine folks who gave us Toro Bravo, Tasty’s menu is so fascinating to me, I think I could eat there… Continue reading Portland, OR – Tasty n Sons
The Joy of Living in Food Nirvana
I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical of moving to Portland….worried I was going to go hungry after living in (arguably) the food capital of North America – New Orleans, for five years. But a bitch named Katrina persuaded me it was time to go, and after searching high and low, Mrs. BDB… Continue reading The Joy of Living in Food Nirvana
