Yes, at last, even the birthplace of Bob Dylan is getting its share of food trucks. Slowly at first, as Duluth still does not have defined regulations on the beasts, and as of this moment, they are required to basically “keep moving,” meaning they can’t park in one place for the day. So you’ll have… Continue reading Food Trucks Hit the End of the Earth (Duluth, MN)

Happy 3rd Anniversary to Us!
Three years ago today, I accepted a challenge from Mrs. BurgerDogBoy. She had started a marketing company the year before, specializing in advising on social media, and I had spent most of my career in “traditional media.” I pooh-poohed the influence of blogs, twitter, facebook and such, and she challenged me to take a… Continue reading Happy 3rd Anniversary to Us!

Portland, OR – Bird Dog Review
The “Bird Dog” name doesn’t come from any of the conventional or urban slang definitions of that phrase, but rather, one would imagine, as an homage to the cafe’s signature dish moniker, a hot dog prepared in the way occasionally people are used to hearing a different cut of meat prepared in some parts of… Continue reading Portland, OR – Bird Dog Review
A Dearth of Hot Dogs on I-5 in Cali
Geez, what’s a guy got to do to get a hot dog in the middle of the night on I-5 in Cali north of Sacramento? We were southbound and stopped at several of my usual haunts to find they were all in “hot dog shift change” – that is, the griddles were empty or being… Continue reading A Dearth of Hot Dogs on I-5 in Cali
Paso Robles, CA – BBQ Fun Fest and Kids Day in the Park
We were feeling a might peckish driving down US 101 in Cali the other day, and pulled off at Paso Robles to get a bite to eat. Mrs. BDB said “what do you feel like?” and since I am omniscient, I said “I feel like we’re going to run into a church or something having… Continue reading Paso Robles, CA – BBQ Fun Fest and Kids Day in the Park

Portland, OR – Jean’s Hot Dogs on the Square
Been here before, but then, what Portlandian hasn’t? Waiting on a biz meeting in downtown, ambled through Pioneer Courthouse Square and grabbed a polish sausage to soothe the savage b(r)east prior to the meet. “It is what it is” people are fond of saying these days, and Jean’s certainly fits in that category. Value pricing,… Continue reading Portland, OR – Jean’s Hot Dogs on the Square
Hillsboro, OR – Jamie’s Chicago Dogs
Not a review, per se, just a note that if you’ve been running all over the Portland metro area looking for a genuine Vienna Beef hot dog from Chicago, look no further than Jamie’s Chicago Dogs cart at 2nd and Main in downtown Hillsboro. As far as I know, Jamie is the only guy peddling… Continue reading Hillsboro, OR – Jamie’s Chicago Dogs
AM/PM – Arco Gas Stations Ready to Eat Burgers & Dogs
I have opined on my take on AM/PM Mini Mart ready to eat foods in the past, my opinion hasn’t changed – adequate hot food, great value proposition. There are few dollar menus that can beat the proposition AM/FM has to offer – two hot dogs for $1.50, two larger dogs or burgers for $2.50.… Continue reading AM/PM – Arco Gas Stations Ready to Eat Burgers & Dogs
