In Duluth, we’d say this place was out in the boonies, back in the day, but it’s not anymore. Overlooking the Grand View Golf Course, on a high hill, sitting at the Dry Dock you can see 50 miles to the South. But why would you want to look at the view, instead of your… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Dry Dock Bar and Restaurant

Subway Club vs 7-Eleven Club Sandwich
(Short link to full post for mobile readers). I’m becoming a cheap fucker in my golden years; or perhaps I’m penny pinching like most folks in the “new economy.” In any case, I look for value these days, the most quantity for the least amount of money. In October, Subway has all foot longs for… Continue reading Subway Club vs 7-Eleven Club Sandwich
Lean Cuisine Spinach & Mushroom Pizza

Portland, OR – Sunshine Tavern
Had a great time at a private fete at Sunshine Tavern in Portland on Saturday afternoon. I’m sure I will return, it’s a menu made just for me! We were served a wide variety of dishes, and overall my favorite was Sunshine’s take on the national dish of Canada, poutine.
