I’ve reviewed Red Baron products before, frozen pies brought to you by the good folks at Schwan’s from Minnesota, my home territory. (Many believe Minnesota is the birthplace of frozen pizza, courtesy of Rose Totino, and later, Jeno Paulucci). Today I wanted to take the two French bread pizzas and compare them by cooking one via… Continue reading Compare & Contrast – Red Baron French Bread Pizza

Cheap Eats – A Lot of Baloney
In light of the economy, readers have asked me to be on the lookout for cheap deals; everybody needs to stretch their food budget. I don’t know what kids pack in the brown bag lunches these days (do they even take lunch to school any more, is it allowed?), but for me, a half a… Continue reading Cheap Eats – A Lot of Baloney
Our Policy On Samples – Reviews
Yes, we accept food and kitchen products (and invitations) for sampling and review. According to the “new rules”, we must disclose that we have received the product(s), meals, compensation, in return for the review.

Remembering a Romantic Meal in Portland
In my opinion (and I have a lot of them) one has to ‘create’ romance in Portland restaurants. There isn’t a single place that caters solely to upmarket, dressed to the nines, cooing diners in love. At least not that I have found, and I’ve asked around as well. Portland is a casual city. You… Continue reading Remembering a Romantic Meal in Portland
Home Cookin’ Test – Red Baron Fire Baked Crust
One I have tried before, just a quick update because they were on sale for about $2, and Mrs. BDB and her friends were enjoying yet another vegan dinner at our house….and I was going through carnivore withdrawal (that’s what SHE said). My impression last time was largely favorable, and either my taste buds are changing… Continue reading Home Cookin’ Test – Red Baron Fire Baked Crust
Something You Thought You Would Never Hear From Me
I ate soy sausage and didn’t die. With our good friend Nicole visiting from L.A. this week, we “spiced up” our home cuisine to suit her veggie palate, including some raw foods (tho I skipped dinner at the raw restaurant last nite.) Mrs. Burgerdogboy and Nicole whipped up a vegetarian lunch spread today, and it… Continue reading Something You Thought You Would Never Hear From Me
Duluth, MN – Dry Dock Bar and Restaurant
In Duluth, we’d say this place was out in the boonies, back in the day, but it’s not anymore. Overlooking the Grand View Golf Course, on a high hill, sitting at the Dry Dock you can see 50 miles to the South. But why would you want to look at the view, instead of your… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Dry Dock Bar and Restaurant
Nationwide – Famous Dave’s BBQ
It took a long time for a nationwide chain of BBQ restaurants to hit Duluth, MN, even tho the first location was a mere 50 miles away. Famous Dave’s was started in Hayward, WI, a regional year-round resort town, home of the World Lumberjack Contests, and also the winter cross country ski fest, the Birkebeiner. … Continue reading Nationwide – Famous Dave’s BBQ
Worldwide – Trader Vic’s
Ah, back in my salad days, Trader Vic’s, in Mpls-St. Paul, used to be one of my “go-to” places to impress the ladies! Did it work? Oh, yeah! So now, TV’s has returned to open in Portland, and is chock-a-block full of authentic tiki decor, and serves up some of the best exotic cocktails and… Continue reading Worldwide – Trader Vic’s
Your Last Meal Request?
Green Chile Cheeseburger, Bobcat Bite, Santa Fe (Short link to full story for mobile readers) From time to time, someone writes an article about “oddball” last meal requests by condemned prisoners. It was in the news again recently because Texas has now banned last meal requests – unless it is something normally offered or fixed… Continue reading Your Last Meal Request?
