(Update: This location now closed) Ran into this place, hiding in the out lot of a strip mill, in Indian Trail, North Carolina. This is a brand new building, but I didn’t inquire if they were at another location previously, or why the hot dogs were famous. They have a wide variety of ‘specialties’, which… Continue reading Indian River, NC – D Moe’s Famous Hot Dogs
More on Uber
More on WebVan, er Uber A few weeks ago, I opined on this forum that I thought “Uber,” the technology company in the peer to peer ride sharing space, was/is the equivalent of the current bubble’s “WebVan,” – overvalued, over invested, destined to either crash and burn spectacularly or be forced to completely reinvent itself.… Continue reading More on Uber
Sunday Brunch Recipe
Before Mrs Burgerdogboy passed, we lived in Portland, Oregon, for a number of years, which celebrates the complete and utter silliness of Sunday brunch on so many levels; in short, you’ll wait in line a really long time to overpay for pretty normal fare. The television show “Portlandia” did a pretty funny bit on it,… Continue reading Sunday Brunch Recipe

Oklahoma – El Reno Onion Burger v Onion Dog

Trader Joes Truffle Salami Review
I gotta tell ya, products that I have NOT liked from Trader Joes are few and far between. While the company does not make product themselves, they contract with top manufacturers in the US and overseas to bring fine quality foods with an international flair the to snooty grocery shoppers like me. Trader Joe’s frozen pizza,from… Continue reading Trader Joes Truffle Salami Review
Portland, OR – Veritable Quandary
The name literally is a contradiction, “Veritable” means ‘something of certainty”, and “Quandary” means ‘difficult to predict, or uncertainty,’ and the restaurant of the same name near Portland’s waterfront, is anything but. VQ, as locals refer to it, was created in 1971 and for decades has consistently hammered out some of the most innovative takes… Continue reading Portland, OR – Veritable Quandary
Klements Garlic Summer Sausage
I’ve talked about this fine Milwaukee company in the past, opining on their cocktail sausages, and fresh Hot Italian. Klement’s makes great natural casing weenies, too. A number of stores had their summer sausage on sale this weekend, regular or garlic, for less than $2.50 a pound. A fabulous deal. This is a pork and… Continue reading Klements Garlic Summer Sausage
