This is a great recipe for meat sauce, for pasta, or on a bun for “sloppy joes.” I’ve spent decades perfecting it! If you weren’t aware of it, the original sloppy joe was invented in Iowa as a variation of the “loose meat” sandwich. Read all about Maid-Rites to learn about “loose meat.” If… Continue reading Burgerdogboy’s Bolognese Sauce Recipe

Lake Oswego, OR – Game Time
There’s no Dave & Busters in Portland. Not sure that’s a drawback, as D&B isn’t exactly family-centric. So you’ve worn out your welcome at Chuck E Cheese, where can you take the entire family for an afternoon/evening of fun, food, and frolic? Or hold a party in a safe and sane atmosphere? I recommend Game… Continue reading Lake Oswego, OR – Game Time
Duluth, MN – Pak’s Green Corner (Review)
What do hot dogs, steamed dumplings, curry, poutine, cous cous, burgers, penne with meatballs have in common? Not a thing. 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)
Portland, OR – East Bank Saloon & Restaurant Review
Located in a hysterical (sic) building, constructed in 1896, the location has been home to numerous businesses over the years, prior to the current owners establishing the eatery in 1978. Mrs. Burgerdogboy had scored a Groupon for 2 burgers and 2 beers for $15, so after an afternoon of her biz errands, we landed in… Continue reading Portland, OR – East Bank Saloon & Restaurant Review
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
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)
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)
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
