The Genius of 7-Eleven

My better 2/3rds often says my car has a special device that doesn’t let it drive past a 7-Eleven. That may be so. I love 7-Eleven. It used to be pretty scummy, but under the current Japanese ownership, it grows more impressive by the day. Lately, I have been enthused about their creation of so… Continue reading The Genius of 7-Eleven

Taipei, Taiwan – Ireland’s Potato

As faithful readers know, I’m always up for a good (or bad) order of Poutine, the “national dish” of Canada. Intrepid Burger report Kayoumin and I, in the past, have traveled Southern China and Hong Kong in search of the best offerings of this delightful side of fries, cheese curds, and brown gravy. We’ve had… Continue reading Taipei, Taiwan – Ireland’s Potato

Portland, OR – The Swamp Shack

Continuing in my belief that meat between a bun, casing, or dough is a “burger”, today I checked out a place I had heard about and been meaning to get to, more of a personal curiousity than strictly a food one. I had read an article about the “Swamp Shack” one of the newest trailers… Continue reading Portland, OR – The Swamp Shack

Oversight on My Intro to Fast Food

A loyal reader (I do have one or two) pointed out to me that in my earlier post about my introduction to fast food burgers in the old home town, I omitted to mention the formative years of high school, and nights spent in the parking lot of the London Inn, a local burger shack… Continue reading Oversight on My Intro to Fast Food

Portland, Or – Screen Door Restaurant

Being as I moved here from New Orleans, quite a few people have suggested I try out the Screen Door restaurant for my much missed creole/cajun fare. Haven’t been able to get there for dinner, but Saturday found us in the neighborhood around brunch time, and my better 2/3 embraced the idea of stopping when… Continue reading Portland, Or – Screen Door Restaurant
