I don’t get into Burger King very often – maybe once every five years or if there’s something new I think I should try. (I owe that to you guys, of course, I try things so you don’t have to). I don’t know when they lost favor/flavor with me, I used to be a semi-regular.… Continue reading Burger King Yumbo Review
GrubHub Review
Grub Hub, a restaurant delivery service, started in Chicago in 2004, and through a series of acquisitions, has become the nation’s premier restaurant delivery company, representing eateries in 800 US cities and London, England.

Texan BBQ Algonquin Reviews
I was in this place once 25 years or so ago; they’ve been around for about 30+ years in this distant Chicago suburb. It’s fairly standard barbecue fare (for the midwest) offering a full menu, including pork and beef ribs, turkey, sausage, chicken, brisket and additional, non-smoked fare like burgers, chicken fried steak and… Continue reading Texan BBQ Algonquin Reviews
DeLish Hot Dog Puffs
(Good &) deLish is one of Walgreen’s food brands, along with Nice! and a couple others. They have a lot of heat and eat foods in their coolers these days, including burgers, sandwiches, pizzas and appetizers. I’ve tried the burgers and the pizza. These hot dog puffs come in a pack of 8 for $2.50… Continue reading DeLish Hot Dog Puffs
Memphis, TN – Dyers (the Legend)
Since 1912, Dyer’s has been serving up legendary burgers in Memphis, choosing deep frying as the cooking method. It’s always been purported that the secret to the “good taste” is the fact they have never changed the cooking oil since they opened – but strain it nightly. On the surface, some people might be put… Continue reading Memphis, TN – Dyers (the Legend)
Grandmas Saloon and Grill Poutine
My home town, Duluth, Minnesota, is a couple hours from the Canadian border, and heavily dependent upon Canadians for its economy – shopping, medical care, and tourism. In all the decades I lived there, Canadians were welcome, and even when exchange rates weren’t favorable for the neighbors to the north, Duluth merchants happily accepted the… Continue reading Grandmas Saloon and Grill Poutine
Pizza Hut China Recollection
When I was living and working in Guangzhou, (Canton) China, Pizza Hut and KFC were some of the first western food outlets to open in the city. My Chinese colleagues regularly enjoyed taking me to their own local favorite restaurants and squealing in delight as they’d make me sample traditional fare – including bugs, rodents,… Continue reading Pizza Hut China Recollection
Johnsonville Polish Kielbasa Review
I should read my own past reviews before I buy groceries. I had a previous review of Johnson’s kielbasa, and gave it a fairly innocuous rating. When I cooked heated some this week, I really didn’t like them, and if I remember that, won’t be likely to buy it again. Any Eastern European version of kielbasa… Continue reading Johnsonville Polish Kielbasa Review
The Mother of All Business Incubators/Accelerators
I’ve been involved in a lot of start-ups. No grand slams, but a few solid base hits and some spectacular strike-outs. My ex wife called me a “risk junkie,’ – I never agreed with that assessment, but I do enjoy the passion and energy of working with founders and employees of new ventures. I’ve also… Continue reading The Mother of All Business Incubators/Accelerators
Los Angeles, CA – Melody Pizza
(Editor’s Note): I was contacted by the owners of a new place, Melody’s Pizza, near LAX in Los Angeles, a new venture for a couple that owns a hot night spot down the street, the Melody Bar and Grill. I was invited to come by, couldn’t make it, so Los Angeles Burger Bureau Chief Larry gathered… Continue reading Los Angeles, CA – Melody Pizza
