I was thinking about my infatuation with “old-timey” places as we were seated; is it because I’ve become old-timey myself? Or does eating in places like this evoke some nostalgic memory in me? I really can’t say. I just like places that are at least 40-50 years old, I guess it proves to me they… Continue reading Portland, OR – Sayler’s Old Country Kitchen (Review)

Oregon – Linnton Lighthouse Inn Review
My second visit, a quiet place to discuss business or have a tryst discreetly (or have business about your tryst), and also home to one of the most massive burgers in the Portland area. The Lighthouse Burger features a ginormous patty (a full pound?) on an oversized roll, and is topped with bacon, ham, cheese,… Continue reading Oregon – Linnton Lighthouse Inn Review
Home Cookin’ Test – Private Selection Angus Beef Patties Review
I picked these up on a whim today, some ‘extras’ to throw on the grill for the 4th. 6 1/3 pound patties for about $6. “Angus”, but not “certified Angus”, and off the bat, I am a little concerned that the meat is not single country sourced, or if it is, the labeling on that… Continue reading Home Cookin’ Test – Private Selection Angus Beef Patties Review
New Orleans, LA – Antoine’s Review
(from our archives) My daughter and (then) her boyfriend were in town last week, she wanted “classic cuisine,” and although there aren’t many places I favor more than Gallatoires, for some reason (DOH!) I decided to take them to Antoine’s. The good news is, having two underage guests at dinner greatly cuts down on the… Continue reading New Orleans, LA – Antoine’s Review
Beaverton, OR – Pepita’s Mexican (Review)
Pepita’s is one of our little go to places for pretty good Mexican. Mrs. Burgerdogboy like their fairly authentic (as least as far as Los Angeles type Mexican) shrimp cocktail. My choices vary, and this time I went with two soft beef tacos, which comes with sides of beans and rice. The place is clean,… Continue reading Beaverton, OR – Pepita’s Mexican (Review)
Lafayette, LA – Prejean’s (Review)
(From out travel archives) Prejeans…………..Before Levi’s? I’d seen the restaurant Prejeans many times when driving up I-49 between Lafayette and Shreveport. I had never had an occasion to stop, although I had heard fairly good things about it. Local publicity calls it “award winning” and the “best Cajun cuisine in the South.” Those are pretty… Continue reading Lafayette, LA – Prejean’s (Review)
Vancouver, WA – Cinetopia 23 (Food review)
Movie theater food? Blech, usually, and I have opined on that topic many times. But at the ultra new, spiffy, Cinetopia (now with 3 area locations) in Vancouver, WA, food rules, and you can order and have it delivered to your chair in a few of the multiplex screens. As well as cocktails! Mrs. Burgerdogboy… Continue reading Vancouver, WA – Cinetopia 23 (Food review)
Superior, WI – Amnicon Bar (Review)
Kawikamedia and the Minnesota Burger Posse have embarked on a mission of checking out “dive” bars in the area. This week, it was the Amnicon Bar s on the Corner of Tri Lake Road and County A out by Pattison Park. About 10 miles South of Superior, Wisconsin, on Amnicon Lake. There are a… Continue reading Superior, WI – Amnicon Bar (Review)
Kenner, LA – Jukebox Cajun Diner (Review)
(From the archives) Ever since the demise of the Humming Bird diner, I continually search for a 24/7 diner in N’awlins I can call “home,” at 3AM. There really doesn’t seem to be an apt replacement, so I tend to “spread the wealth” around, and visit several different places, depending on 1) my location at… Continue reading Kenner, LA – Jukebox Cajun Diner (Review)
Portland, OR – Three Square Grill (Review)
In our hood, Three Square Grill has been dishing up their take on American favorites, sourcing locally whenever possible, for over ten years. While we’ve always intended to go there, we had never made it, until last nite, and we’ve been missing out. Mrs. Burgerdogboy had called from her daily errands and suggested a date… Continue reading Portland, OR – Three Square Grill (Review)
