Eden, ID – Garden of Eden Truck Stop

Er, yeah.   Imagine the comic book guy on the Simpsons saying “worst…….cheeseburger…….ever,”  and you’ll know how my experience went, in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere, USA.    It was me and a guy that scared the hell out of me, the only customers, the typical greasy diner waitress lady who looked… Continue reading Eden, ID – Garden of Eden Truck Stop

Portland, OR – “C Burger”

You see burger?  Me see burger.  Actually the “C” is for the location, “Couture Ultra  Lounge.”  The C Burger was such a popular option INSIDE the club, management decided to sell them out of the back of the kitchen to late night clubbers in search of a burger fix, and that proved to be so… Continue reading Portland, OR – “C Burger”

Duluth, MN – Sneakers Sports Bar & Grill

Spoiler alert: BurgerDogBoy H-A-T-E-S sports bars. There would have to be something REALLY spectacular inside to get me in one, like the woman of my dreams, or at least the burger of my dreams. Such was not the case at Sneakers Sports Bar & Grill, inside the “Holiday Mall” downtown Duluth, MN. The “Holiday Mall”… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Sneakers Sports Bar & Grill

Duluth, MN – The “New” Pickwick

  Nearly 100 years old, but yet a “newborn”, the Pickwick (“the Wick” to locals) has always been a Minnesota favorite, and has been operated by the same family until this week. The new owners have modernized some of the infrastructure, and will be “updating” (horrors!) the menu. First pic of the new bar area… Continue reading Duluth, MN – The “New” Pickwick

Beaverton, OR – Canyon Grill

“Voted Best Burgers in Town!” the sign outside says. Doesn’t say by whom, or what town. I’ve driven by this place a million times, on Canyon Rd, or “Car Dealer Row”, or more appropriately these days, “Empty Car Dealer Buildings Row”, as quite a few are in the wind these days. I first spotted the… Continue reading Beaverton, OR – Canyon Grill

Why I’m Not Eating Burgers at the Oregon State Fair

I went last year, and was disappointed at the selections of foods available …. State Fairs were started as showcases for local farmers; in fact, Oregon’s was started iin 1959 by the Oregon Fruitgrowers Association. So in my humble opinion, a State Fair should highlight the best of the region, unique and/or innovative twists on… Continue reading Why I’m Not Eating Burgers at the Oregon State Fair

Guest Columnist, Attorney William Duval

(Guest columnist William Duval, Portland business attorney,  and frequent BurgerDogBoy burger companion, turns in this report): During my Match.com days – the ones after my divorce – I made a point to be filthy informed and up to date on the epicurean landscape of my fairly miserable city.  I knew where the creamiest crepe could… Continue reading Guest Columnist, Attorney William Duval

Portland, OR – A Saturday Satiated/Heavenly Cheese

Saturday was a “way too much” food day for the Burgerdogboy family, due to relatives being in town.  I wasn’t able to document it all, a general ‘walking food coma’ overtook me at some point.  Problem with eating so much yesterday, is I have to still deal with what’s on the plate for us today! … Continue reading Portland, OR – A Saturday Satiated/Heavenly Cheese
