There was a grocery crisis at the Burgerdogboy household last nite. Not a single burger, hot dog, or slice of pizza in the pantry, fridge, or freezer. Low on cash, so no delivery. Lazy, so no trip to the store. What to eat, what to eat? Discovered a hunk of tofu in the fridge, WTF? … Continue reading Home Cooking, Tofu (WTF?)
Everybody’s a Critic – And What I Think About That
Back in the day of the dinosaurs, when I was in the news business, one used to verify a story with at least three different sources, before running with it. These days, everybody is an expert, if they say they are, and news media will reprint blog and twitter reports as if they are gospel. … Continue reading Everybody’s a Critic – And What I Think About That
Superior, WI – Gronks Bar & Grill
Kawikamedia and the Minnesota Burger Posse ventured over the big bridge the other day, and alit at Gronks Bar & Grill way out in the boonies of Superior, Wisconsin. Gronks has been featured on a number of the food television shows, “famous” for their giant burgers. While overall, a satisfactory experience was had by all,… Continue reading Superior, WI – Gronks Bar & Grill
Portland, OR – Sub Rosa
Mrs. Burgerdogboy has taken to grabbing up Groupon and Living Social deals she thinks would amuse me, and I’m grateful for her thoughtfulness, as well as the opportunity to try new places. Last nite, we hit “Sub Rosa“, a small neighborhood Italian joint over on SE Clinton. This worked out great, as she had another… Continue reading Portland, OR – Sub Rosa

Da Rosario Truffle Mayos
It was a triple truffle day at the BurgerDogBoy house yesterday; I scooped up some of the chocolate variety at a posh shop downtown, in order to obtain a free pass to exit the dog house Mrs. Burgerdogboy had banished me to earlier in the week. Turns out I needn’t have purchased said chocolate truffles,… Continue reading Da Rosario Truffle Mayos
Finally – a Relish for ME!
The fine folks at Donovan’s Cellar in NY asked if I minded if they sent me a sneak preview some of their new relish – Chili Maple, they called it. Believe it or not, Burgerdogboy is NEVER one to turn down free food, especially if it’s something new. Now I am not generally a relish… Continue reading Finally – a Relish for ME!
Vancouver, WA – Bortolami’s Pizza
Stopped here at the rec of a fellow Yelper, while passing thru the area yesterday. I had a car load of people of varying ilks (gluten free, vegetarian, and me – garbage-atarian) (I eat anything), and the menu offered something for everyone. Three small pies and a Greek salad put me back $61, which was… Continue reading Vancouver, WA – Bortolami’s Pizza
Portland Hummus “Wars” Escalate!
I have written several posts about the “hummus wars” in SW PDX; it amuses me to see these two competing merchants go “at each other” and “up the ante” in various ways. Hummus Stop fired another shot across the bow of Baba Fresh this week with the start of an outdoor seating area in… Continue reading Portland Hummus “Wars” Escalate!
