Portland, OR – Big A@#$#$#$ Sandwiches

Headed out to this new cart, offering a bevy of Big A@(#$#@)$ Sandwiches. Spoiler alert for this post: TASTY TASTY TASTY. If I were at the Billy Goat in Chicago, they’d say “no coke, pepsi”, and today at B.A. it was “no ham, roast beef”, and “no bechamel, cheddar cheese.” I was there post their… Continue reading Portland, OR – Big A@#$#$#$ Sandwiches

Portland, OR – Stella’s Twisted Burgers (Food Cart)

Couldn’t wait to try this one, after reading other descriptions of it online.  Stella’s is a new cart at the 3rd & Stark pod, actually right on Stark, and they offer elaborate burger and pulled meat sandwiches.  And one sausage.   The payphone parked right in front of the cart might come in handy if you’re… Continue reading Portland, OR – Stella’s Twisted Burgers (Food Cart)

Portland, OR – O’Connor’s (Multnomah Village)

O’Connors has been around for 75 years, in some form, fashion, or location. The current incarnation is in cute and quirky Multnomah Village, a neighborhood strip of chops and cafes not far from our domicile. It was late afternoon and Mrs. BDB and I were feeling a might peckish, but were not predisposed for any… Continue reading Portland, OR – O’Connor’s (Multnomah Village)

Portland, OR – Morton’s Mini Cheeseburgers & Pub Menu

I admit I have always had a certain affinity for Ruth’s Chris. I lived in New Orleans, where they started, I knew some family members, I met Ruth, I was at her funeral. But the family hasn’t been involved for a long time, and the company really abandoned New Orleans after Katrina. They did not… Continue reading Portland, OR – Morton’s Mini Cheeseburgers & Pub Menu

Moran’s All Natural Ground Beef – Home Test

Nights when Mrs Burgerdogboy is out hobnobbing with the rich and famous, I stay home and make myself a burger or two, while listening to the 60s on 6 on Sirius. Tonight’s choice was Moran’s All Natural Ground Beef, (73/27) a one pound chub, picked up at my local Albertson’s. According to their website, Moran’s… Continue reading Moran’s All Natural Ground Beef – Home Test

Portland, OR – Foti’s Greek Deli

I was on my way to create the perfect Greek hamburger. I had heard about the burgers at Foti’s Greek Deli, and while they are not in the top third of anybody’s “Best of Portland” lists, they are often mentioned as a consistently good, and inexpensive burger. I had my own twist on it in… Continue reading Portland, OR – Foti’s Greek Deli

Putt Putt to the Pizza Hut….er The Hut

Ok, not that I’m a marketing genius, but I simply don’t get the dumping of a brand name that has been around for decades or longer. Oh, I read the puff pieces on how a particular company (Pizza Hut, Radio Shack, Ask Mr. Foster) justified the change (update?), but I still don’t get it. Perhaps… Continue reading Putt Putt to the Pizza Hut….er The Hut

San Clemente, CA – Pizza Plus

Although I usually have a place in mind, when I roll into a town, sometimes I like to play pizza roulette, and take my chances on any one of a dozen goofy factors, i.e. largest yellow pages ad,  3rd pizzeria on the left, and like that.   This stems from adventures some buddies and I used… Continue reading San Clemente, CA – Pizza Plus
