Happy 3rd Anniversary to Us!

Three years ago today, I accepted a challenge from Mrs. BurgerDogBoy.  She had started a marketing company the year before, specializing in advising on social media, and I had spent most of my career in “traditional media.”   I pooh-poohed the influence of blogs, twitter, facebook and such, and she challenged me to take a… Continue reading Happy 3rd Anniversary to Us!

Nationwide – Burger King “Double Stacker” (Review)

Can’t remember when the last time I was in a BK was….gotta be 15 years.  In the interim, they have slipped from being the #2 to #3 burger chain, gone through a plethora of owners, and have abandoned both “have it your way”, and that incredibly frightening “King” mascot. So I can’t really say what… Continue reading Nationwide – Burger King “Double Stacker” (Review)

On the Prowl for a Growl(er) – Portland Bottle Shop Review

Not being much of a drinker anymore, I’m generally not up to date on all the what-nots with the industry, lingo, and certainly not familiar with crap happening in the microbrew and related industries. So when Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I were walking the streets of Portland’s Sellwood neighborhood last week, and I saw a sidewalk… Continue reading On the Prowl for a Growl(er) – Portland Bottle Shop Review

National French Fry Day – News from Wendy’s

This just in from Wendy’s, in honor of National French Fry Day, tomorrow, July 13. In honor of National French Fry Day on July 13, Wendy’s examined the growing phenomenon of dipsters, those who dip their fries into a Wendy’s Frosty. Yummm! The combination of the sweet cold Wendy’s Frosty and sea salt hot French… Continue reading National French Fry Day – News from Wendy’s

Nationwide – Domino’s Meatzza

OK, so I am “late to the party” in trying Domino’s “new recipe.”  Reason being, there are no outlets near my house.  There used to be one within spitting distance, but at least a couple of different operators couldn’t make a go off it, despite being within blocks of a large college.  So it was… Continue reading Nationwide – Domino’s Meatzza

Portland, OR – Piroshki & A Pickle (Review)

On a desolate stretch of Corbett, Piroshki and A Pickle is a typical Portland coffee house with a twist – serving Russian style Piroshkis and half-sour pickles. For those of you undesirous of clicking the link and navigating away from my narrative, piroshkis are stuffed Russian pastries, with either sweet or savory fillings. While there… Continue reading Portland, OR – Piroshki & A Pickle (Review)

Portland, OR – Sayler’s Old Country Kitchen (Review)

I was thinking about my infatuation with “old-timey” places as we were seated; is it because I’ve become old-timey myself? Or does eating in places like this evoke some nostalgic memory in me? I really can’t say. I just like places that are at least 40-50 years old, I guess it proves to me they… Continue reading Portland, OR – Sayler’s Old Country Kitchen (Review)

Oregon – Linnton Lighthouse Inn Review

My second visit, a quiet place to discuss business or have a tryst discreetly (or have business about your tryst), and also home to one of the most massive burgers in the Portland area. The Lighthouse Burger features a ginormous patty (a full pound?) on an oversized roll, and is topped with bacon, ham, cheese,… Continue reading Oregon – Linnton Lighthouse Inn Review

Home Cookin’ Test – Private Selection Angus Beef Patties Review

I picked these up on a whim today, some ‘extras’ to throw on the grill for the 4th.  6 1/3 pound patties for about $6.  “Angus”, but not “certified Angus”, and off the bat, I am a little concerned that the meat is not single country sourced, or if it is, the labeling on that… Continue reading Home Cookin’ Test – Private Selection Angus Beef Patties Review
