Duluth, MN – Hell Burgers

(I love restaurants that post their menus outside, this is a smashing idea!) Once upon a time (and still) there was/is this great restaurant in Minneapolis called “Hell’s Kitchen.” A self-described “foodie heaven”, famous for wackadoodle (yeah, I don’t know what that means either, I just made it up) breakfasts, and creative entrees like the… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Hell Burgers

Portland, OR – Red Robin

First time in a Red Robin in over 20 years. Previous visits – we were regulars at the outlet in Calabasas, CA, when my kid was about 4. She liked the place then, would eschew it now as she’s a veggie. Tho the menu has some offerings even she would embrace. Bottomless fries? In any… Continue reading Portland, OR – Red Robin

Portland, OR – Country Cat Dinnerhouse

Well, you know I think chicken fried steak qualifies as a “burger,” if you’ve read my posts before.  When my friend Jay suggested we brunch here today, I (as always) perused their menu online ahead of time, and knew I would have a hard time deciding between their scrumptious sounding breakfast entrees, or a burger.… Continue reading Portland, OR – Country Cat Dinnerhouse

Portland, OR – Stella’s Twisted Burgers (Food Cart)

Couldn’t wait to try this one, after reading other descriptions of it online.  Stella’s is a new cart at the 3rd & Stark pod, actually right on Stark, and they offer elaborate burger and pulled meat sandwiches.  And one sausage.   The payphone parked right in front of the cart might come in handy if you’re… Continue reading Portland, OR – Stella’s Twisted Burgers (Food Cart)

Portland, OR – Morton’s Mini Cheeseburgers & Pub Menu

I admit I have always had a certain affinity for Ruth’s Chris. I lived in New Orleans, where they started, I knew some family members, I met Ruth, I was at her funeral. But the family hasn’t been involved for a long time, and the company really abandoned New Orleans after Katrina. They did not… Continue reading Portland, OR – Morton’s Mini Cheeseburgers & Pub Menu

Moran’s All Natural Ground Beef – Home Test

Nights when Mrs Burgerdogboy is out hobnobbing with the rich and famous, I stay home and make myself a burger or two, while listening to the 60s on 6 on Sirius. Tonight’s choice was Moran’s All Natural Ground Beef, (73/27) a one pound chub, picked up at my local Albertson’s. According to their website, Moran’s… Continue reading Moran’s All Natural Ground Beef – Home Test

Portland, OR – Foti’s Greek Deli

I was on my way to create the perfect Greek hamburger. I had heard about the burgers at Foti’s Greek Deli, and while they are not in the top third of anybody’s “Best of Portland” lists, they are often mentioned as a consistently good, and inexpensive burger. I had my own twist on it in… Continue reading Portland, OR – Foti’s Greek Deli

Pacific NW – Taco Time

Beginning in Eugene, Oregon in 1959, the TacoTime Restaurant Chain now has  350+ locations in the United States, Canada and Kuwait.  Taco Time is owned by the Kahala Corporation, which operates a number of food-related franchises, including Blimpie, Cold Stone, and about 10 others. I often joke with people that when one goes to Taco… Continue reading Pacific NW – Taco Time

AM PM Mini Marts – Burgers and Dogs

AM/PM mini marts are co-located with ARCO gas stations;  ARCO (and AM/PM) are U.S. brands of British Petroleum. In the late 70s, AM/PM started offering heat-to-eat hot dogs & burgers, and eventually expanded to a wide variety of snack and to go foods, nestled among a pretty respectible condiment bar. When I first started stopping… Continue reading AM PM Mini Marts – Burgers and Dogs
