IHOP – Bacon ‘N Beef ™ Burgers
I rarely get to chain restaurants, especially for burgers. But Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I were out and about last nite, and feeling a little peckish late in the afternoon. By coincidence, I had grabbed the mail as we left the house, and in it was the local coupon flyer, which had a BOGO coupon for… Continue reading IHOP – Bacon ‘N Beef ™ Burgers

Kawikamedia and the Minnesota Burger Posse ventured over the big bridge the other day, and alit at Gronks Bar & Grill way out in the boonies of Superior, Wisconsin.

McMinnville, OR – La Rambla
Rambled in to La Rambla (boulevard in Spanish) the other day; had a business appointment with a colleague in McMinnville, and since we both had already seen the Spruce Goose, lunch seemed like a go. A tastefully decorated bar and dining area probably makes La Rambla one of the go-to places in McM town. Featuring… Continue reading McMinnville, OR – La Rambla
Gardenburger Brand – Portobello Mushroom
Picked up a four pack of these a few weeks ago, got around to sampling last nite. Not particularly healthier compared to – say a typical McDonald’s hamburger or cheeseburger, except in that they have less fat. But pretty much equal in the carb and sodium department. Ingredients include a couple of different rices, a… Continue reading Gardenburger Brand – Portobello Mushroom
Portland, OR – Theo’s (Chinatown)
One all-day, late night option in Portland’s Old Town/Chinatown is Theo’s, on NW Fifth Avenue. Offering a variety of burgers, sandwiches, sides, and so on, Theo’s is a great quick stop for a bite, or call ahead for take-out. I was wasting time in the neighborhood, and stopped in to get a burger to go. I… Continue reading Portland, OR – Theo’s (Chinatown)
Corning, CA – The Olive Pit
What does an out of business burger chain in the midwest and an olive retailer in Corning, CA have in common? Burger condiment bars par excellence! My then fiance and I used to head over to the regional chain Burger Chef on occasion – you could buy a cheap burger and load… Continue reading Corning, CA – The Olive Pit
Van Nuys, CA – Beeps
At the intersection of Sherman Way and Woodley, Beeps has served the neighborhood and burger fans since 1952. We were across the street at Toys R Us, and I snapped a pick of Beeps and tweeted it, proclaiming “alas, no time this trip.” But when Mrs Burgerdogboy and her pals exited the toy store, and saw… Continue reading Van Nuys, CA – Beeps
