Nationwide – Wendy’s Son of Baconator

It’s big (yet smaller), full of bacony and beefy goodness.  It’s Wendy’s “Son of Baconator”, a smaller version (on everything except flavor!) of the popular ‘big’ baconator launched last year. Two fresh beef patties, four strips of bacon, a buttered, toasted bun. Topped off with mayo, ketchup, and American cheese.  700 calories and 40 carbs,… Continue reading Nationwide – Wendy’s Son of Baconator

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)

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

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

Vancouver, WA – Cinetopia 23 (Food review)

Movie theater food? Blech, usually, and I have opined on that topic many times. But at the ultra new, spiffy, Cinetopia (now with 3  area locations) in Vancouver, WA, food rules, and you can order and have it delivered to your chair in a few of the multiplex screens. As well as cocktails! Mrs. Burgerdogboy… Continue reading Vancouver, WA – Cinetopia 23 (Food review)

Kawikamedia and the Minnesota Burger Posse have embarked on a mission of checking out “dive” bars in the area.   This week, it was the Amnicon Bar s on the Corner of Tri Lake Road and County A out by Pattison Park. About 10 miles South of Superior, Wisconsin, on Amnicon Lake. There are a… Continue reading Superior, WI – Amnicon Bar (Review)

New Orleans, LA – La Peniche (Review)

(From our travel archives) Snuggled betwixt the Quarter and the Marigny at the intersection of Dauphine and Touro, if one wants to “float their boat” for all night dining, La Peniche (French for “large barge”) can satisfy most of what ails ya. Open 24/7, (other than their own “weekend,” which lasts from Tuesday afternoon til… Continue reading New Orleans, LA – La Peniche (Review)

Houma, LA – Boudreaux & Thibodeaux’s Cajun Diner Review

(From our travel archives) I am embarrassed to say I don’t know the origin of these Cajun nicknames. Actually, they are pretty common surnames in Acadiana, but over the years, they have taken on a comical quality when used as given names, akin to “Sven and Ole” in the Upper Midwest, “Pat & Mike” in… Continue reading Houma, LA – Boudreaux & Thibodeaux’s Cajun Diner Review

Portland, OR – Bunk Bar Review

Bunk Bar is an offshoot of the wildly popular Bunk, noted Portland sandwich purveyor, which specializes in a short list of awesome sandwiches.  We were actually meeting for dinner around the corner at Boke Bowl, an impressive start-up that serves mash-up variations of ramen and a few other Asian dishes. Boke was closing early, so… Continue reading Portland, OR – Bunk Bar Review

Is the Waffle House the Key to Humanity’s Problems?

(This was written a couple months post 9/11) Waffles – The Key to Harmony? “We Will Make No Customer Pay in Advance!” Is one of the many “rules” posted by the door as you enter an outlet of 1300 strong location “The Waffle House,” (or TWH), apparently the result of a lawsuit launched in ’93,… Continue reading Is the Waffle House the Key to Humanity’s Problems?
