North Plains, OR – Rogue Brew Pub and Eatery

In the midst of elephant garlic territory (you missed the festival last week, btw), in the center of town….ok, in the center of the one block of town, sits the Rogue Brew Pub and Eatery, which i don’t believe is any relation to the Rogue Ales brewer type guys. Tho they do serve those quaffs.… Continue reading North Plains, OR – Rogue Brew Pub and Eatery

Grazing at a “Bite of Oregon”

This is worth doing, for several reasons: 1) it’s cheap 2) it’s rather compact, unlike, say “A Taste of Chicago”, 3) you have a chance to sample a great many a) Oregon restaurants, b) Portland food carts, c) Oregon microbrews, and d) Oregon wines. (And visit the Pepto Bismol booth to boot!). We would have… Continue reading Grazing at a “Bite of Oregon”

Home Version – Friendly’s Double Grilled Cheese Burger

Fellow burger aficionado Mr. Good Burger was kind enough to send along this photo of his effort to duplicate Friendly’s Double Grilled Cheese Burger. Using grilled cheese sandwiches in lieu of burger buns is all the rage in some quarters. We say it looks like he did a grand job, how about you?

Saginaw, MN – Swamp Sisters

“The best burger I ever had,” claims Minnesota Burger Reporter Kawikamedia.   That’s a pretty lofty endorsement. Swamp Sisters opened as a gift shop and retail outlet for the buffalo raised on the local farm, out in Sticksville, MN.  OK, really the nearby town is named Saginaw, and it’s 22.2 miles from downtown Duluth, as the… Continue reading Saginaw, MN – Swamp Sisters

Portland, OR – Tasty n Sons

Portland is big on brunch, and Tasty n Sons aims to satisfy those urges, offering a “brunch only” menu all the time (open 9-3), which is both interesting AND tasty! Brought to us by the fine folks who gave us Toro Bravo, Tasty’s menu is so fascinating to me, I think I could eat there… Continue reading Portland, OR – Tasty n Sons

Duluth, MN – Little Angie’s Cantina and Grill

Mickey Paulucci, spawn of Jeno Paulucci, self-described “peddler’ and ‘not a nice guy’,  started the Grandma’s, restaurant empire over 30 years ago, in Canal Park, Duluth, MN, across the street from his father’s office. The original Grandma’s became known for quality food, ample servings, and fun ambiance, and grew to be a statewide mini-chain, but… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Little Angie’s Cantina and Grill

Lake Oswego, OR – Five Spice Seafood & Wine Bar

Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I have switched our weekly happy hour nite out to Tuesdays, instead of Wednesdays, as she has a crack o’ dawn biz obligation every Thursday, and works entirely at home on Wednesdays. So we can be a little footloose on Tuesday nites. We stayed close to home tonight and went to downtown… Continue reading Lake Oswego, OR – Five Spice Seafood & Wine Bar

Taipei City, TW – JB Burgers

World famous French entertainer Guillaume Cadilhac checked in with us from a stop in Taipei City at JB’s Burgers, which has been around a few years, and was started by some ‘expat experts’ in burgermania. Cadilhac’s performs under the name Kayoumin, and delights Asian audiences with Mandarin renditions of French love songs. JB’s offers a… Continue reading Taipei City, TW – JB Burgers

Portland, OR – Foster Burger, Part 2

My less than fun experience revisiting Violetta this week got me to wondering about how other “new” “hot” places fare over time, so decided to head back to Foster Burger, the current burger of all burgers here in Portland. My dining companion for the night, Mr. Portland Attorney Deal Maker Extraordinaire, (PADME) was along for… Continue reading Portland, OR – Foster Burger, Part 2
