One more ‘old-timey’ diner and bar knocked off my to-do list. I’ve been meaning to get her for awhile, because rumor has it, it’s Greek-owned, and that group of restaurant owners just seems to get breakfast “right” (and chili dogs, as well). Mrs. Burgerdogboy treated me and I went straight for the Italian sausage and… Continue reading Beaverton, OR – Antoni’s

Seattle, WA – Random Stops
(From our travel archives) Escaped from post-Katrina for a few days, ostensibly for business, but really for my sanity. I finally found a place where the Chinese food in the US tastes Chinese, a little place north of the city called Doong Kong Lau Haaka Cuisine. The “Haaka” were one of the nomadic tribes of China, and as such,… Continue reading Seattle, WA – Random Stops
Portland, OR – The Sausage Shack Review
Was feeling a might peckish after getting dropped in downtown post high-roller biz meeting at low rent coffee shop in NE. Was determined to head straight to Alder pod, but got dropped on Naito, and threw on the foot brakes when I walked past the Sausage Shack. I’d heard about this sausage and bacon wonderland,… Continue reading Portland, OR – The Sausage Shack Review

Wendy’s Portabella Bacon Melt (Burger) Review
A. I never liked mushrooms until I was in my 5th decade; I missed a lot. B. The first Mrs. Burgerdogboy, on burger outings, ONLY went for variations of a mushroom/Swiss burger (shows she knew more than I) Her “go-to” mush/Swiss was at the now defunct chain “Mr. Steak.” C. Portabella mushrooms are all the… Continue reading Wendy’s Portabella Bacon Melt (Burger) Review

Today, the Burger Boss got outvoted, and they landed at Old Country Buffet, part of the nationwide chain which includes outlets by that… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Old Country Buffet
Hoffy Hot Dogs Update
Last year I wrote a four-part series on Los Angeles’ favorite Hoffy Hot Dogs; while I reviewed most of their product line, the occasion for the piece was the debut of their bacon-wrapped hot dogs, which is the official hot dog of Los Angeles. The company has been working hard to get wider distribution, and… Continue reading Hoffy Hot Dogs Update

But you can enjoy all of these “world foods” and much more at Pak’s Green Corner at 40th and Grand in Duluth. Open only a couple of weeks, for lunch and dinner six days,… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Pak’s Green Corner (Review)
