Lots of folks put “Ray’s” in the name of their pizzerias in NY, lots of folks put “Tommy’s” or some variation of it, in the name of their burger joints in SoCal. There is the “original” Original; just… Continue reading Southern California – Original Tommy’s

Lunch with Fat People

Wednesdays are my days to try out new places, and today, I set out to check out Domo Dogs, the new Japanese fusion hot dog cart, in the parking lot of H-Mart, on 99w in Portland/Tigard.

Portland, OR – Wayne’s Chicago Red Hots

“Someone” dropped me an email last week saying I should visit Wayne’s; the mail probably came from an insider since it included a bevy of photos, as well. Some of the pix were really great, unfortunately, they have people in them, so I couldn’t use them w/o permission. I like hearing from restaurants, actually, it… Continue reading Portland, OR – Wayne’s Chicago Red Hots
