Thought it was a good nite to take my favorite bride out to dinner, and knew she would be down for a round of raw oysters, so we opted for Corbett Fish House, a place we go on occasion. She likes it for the oysters, I like it because you can get a typical fish… Continue reading Portland, OR – Corbett Fish House

Portland, OR – Juan Colorado
“It is what it is,” people say all the time these days. Juan Colorado fits into that bracket, if you’re looking for typical Americanized Mexican foods at a reasonable price. It’s in our neighborhood, so we get in there on occasion, and last nite, it was just what the doctor (er, wife) ordered. One of… Continue reading Portland, OR – Juan Colorado
Nationwide – Applebee’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill
Well, I’ve officially flipped over – to dirty old man status, where leering at the waitress and hanging on her every word becomes one of the more important elements of my dining out. At least I haven’t gotten to the point where I’m the kind of guy making the disgusting suggestive comments. Point? My… Continue reading Nationwide – Applebee’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill
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
Portland, OR – Buckley’s Catch Sports Bar
Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I were on our way out to meet some folks for dinner at Wong’s King – so, as we do on occasion, we stopped to get a bit of pre-dinner and cocktails nearby. The afternoon’s “victim” was Buckely’s Catch, a sports bar and grill in Mt. Tabor/SE. We were just looking for… Continue reading Portland, OR – Buckley’s Catch Sports Bar
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
Portland, OR – Woodsman Tavern
Look, down in Southeast! It’s a bar! It’s a restaurant! It’s a tavern! According to Wikipedia, a tavern is a business establishment where people gather to be served drinks and food. Back where I come from (no, it’s not Kansas, Dorothy), a tavern is a place that sells low alcohol beer, and the food ranges… Continue reading Portland, OR – Woodsman Tavern
Milwaukee, OR – Pietro’s Pizza
I’m all about old-timey and garish. The outside of Pietro’s fits the latter, the inside the former. Almost as old as I am, Pietro’s has been serving pizza to Oregonians for over 60 years, and is constantly at the top of most local favorite lists. Having noticed its list ranking, not having tried it, and… Continue reading Milwaukee, OR – Pietro’s Pizza
Portland, OR – U-Licious BBQ & Soul Food
Upon sitting down, I knew instantly that I would regret not being able to order (or consume) the entire menu. It smelled that good, it felt that right. We were off for a rare midday lunch together, and there are few things Mrs. Burgerdogboy likes better than ribs, and few things I like better than… Continue reading Portland, OR – U-Licious BBQ & Soul Food
Vancouver, WA – Hudson’s Bar & Grill
Are the Heathman Lodge in Vancouver and the Heathman Hotel in downtown related? I can’t tell from trying to research that question online. If I am left to judge, based on my experiences at restaurants in both hotels, the answer would be a resounding, “NO!” “Compare and contrast”, as they used to say in debate… Continue reading Vancouver, WA – Hudson’s Bar & Grill
