Everyone talks about the Rustic Inn for its fabulous pies and bountiful breakfasts. Minnesota Monthly called it “one of the secrets of Superior” – a must stop if you are touring in the Lake Superior area. But it’s also the place for great home-cooking with a creative flair throughout the rest of the day, and… Continue reading Castle Danger, MN – Rustic Inn

Duluth, MN – Buffalo Wild Wings
This chain, known for big screamin’ tv’s (the kind you watch) (ok, the kind that you see broadcasts on) and a variety of those now thought of delicacies that we used to just toss out, chicken wings, has opened in Duluth, MN, which must be one of their remote locations. The last time anybody in… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Buffalo Wild Wings

Burger King $1 Double Cheeseburger – Marketing vs Reality
So I was wasting time today, and decided to sample the $1 Double Cheeseburger at Burger King, which they tout as “1/4 pound” (with the usual disclaimers) and more meat than McD’s. I’m not sure about the weight thing, tho I guess it could be true, with two 2 ounce patties. They do still slop… Continue reading Burger King $1 Double Cheeseburger – Marketing vs Reality
Duluth, MN – The Spot Sports Bar & Grill
Nestled inside the Incline Station Bowling Center, the newly remodeled Spot Sports Bar & Grill, offers typical bar food: burgers, pizza, sandwiches, (menu below) and a host of deep-fried stuff. Why is it called “Incline Station?” No, it’s not because you might be inclined (chortle)to go there, but rather, it sits on the space that… Continue reading Duluth, MN – The Spot Sports Bar & Grill
Duluth, MN – Green Mill Pizza
35 years ago, the Green Mill, ensconced in St. Paul’s oldest, licensed bar, a tiny hole on Hamline Avenue in St. Paul, was the “go-to” place for fancy pizza in the Twin Cities. A variation of Chicago deep dish, the pie was known for its quality ingredients, and for taking (by those day’s standards) too… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Green Mill Pizza
Taipei City, Taiwan – 7-Eleven Heat & Eat Burger
Asian Burger Reporter Kayoumin checks in today from Taipei, where he sampled the heat and eat burger at his local 7-Eleven. He was out seeking a pre-dinner nosh, and along with a shot of Chinese alcohol, discovered this burger was the perfect thing to quell his peckishness.

Home Cookin’ – Texas Dry Rub BBQ Burger
Sometime Saturday, Mrs Burgerdogboy announced she needed ribs this weekend, and I was designated to make them. Now I don’t care for ribs or wings, two of her favorite consumables, but for some reason I have the ability to whip up pretty good batches of either. I am surpised my ribs measure up for her,… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Texas Dry Rub BBQ Burger
Portland, OR – AJs on the Rails
I had been here once before, albeit only for appetizers, which were more than satisfactory. Today it was a convenient location to meet up with Mr Portland Deal-Maker Attorney Extraordinaire, and try out the burgers, which are intermittently touted highly on various online sites. The joint is on Morrison, w/i spitting distance of the Max… Continue reading Portland, OR – AJs on the Rails
Wendy’s Baconator
What the heck does that mean, anyway, Baconator? I suppose it’s a riff on “Terminator”, but it could be taken as “bacon & tator” couldn’t it? Yeah, ok, I was reaching with that one. News came this week Wendy’s has rolled out the Bacon & Blue burger chain-wide. We sampled it when it was in… Continue reading Wendy’s Baconator
