It’s big (yet smaller), full of bacony and beefy goodness. It’s Wendy’s “Son of Baconator”, a smaller version (on everything except flavor!) of the popular ‘big’ baconator launched last year. Two fresh beef patties, four strips of bacon, a buttered, toasted bun. Topped off with mayo, ketchup, and American cheese. 700 calories and 40 carbs,… Continue reading Nationwide – Wendy’s Son of Baconator

Food Trucks Hit the End of the Earth (Duluth, MN)
Yes, at last, even the birthplace of Bob Dylan is getting its share of food trucks. Slowly at first, as Duluth still does not have defined regulations on the beasts, and as of this moment, they are required to basically “keep moving,” meaning they can’t park in one place for the day. So you’ll have… Continue reading Food Trucks Hit the End of the Earth (Duluth, MN)

Happy 3rd Anniversary to Us!
Three years ago today, I accepted a challenge from Mrs. BurgerDogBoy. She had started a marketing company the year before, specializing in advising on social media, and I had spent most of my career in “traditional media.” I pooh-poohed the influence of blogs, twitter, facebook and such, and she challenged me to take a… Continue reading Happy 3rd Anniversary to Us!
Nationwide – Burger King “Double Stacker” (Review)
Can’t remember when the last time I was in a BK was….gotta be 15 years. In the interim, they have slipped from being the #2 to #3 burger chain, gone through a plethora of owners, and have abandoned both “have it your way”, and that incredibly frightening “King” mascot. So I can’t really say what… Continue reading Nationwide – Burger King “Double Stacker” (Review)
On the Prowl for a Growl(er) – Portland Bottle Shop Review
Not being much of a drinker anymore, I’m generally not up to date on all the what-nots with the industry, lingo, and certainly not familiar with crap happening in the microbrew and related industries. So when Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I were walking the streets of Portland’s Sellwood neighborhood last week, and I saw a sidewalk… Continue reading On the Prowl for a Growl(er) – Portland Bottle Shop Review

Nationwide – Domino’s Meatzza
OK, so I am “late to the party” in trying Domino’s “new recipe.” Reason being, there are no outlets near my house. There used to be one within spitting distance, but at least a couple of different operators couldn’t make a go off it, despite being within blocks of a large college. So it was… Continue reading Nationwide – Domino’s Meatzza
Portland, OR – Piroshki & A Pickle (Review)
On a desolate stretch of Corbett, Piroshki and A Pickle is a typical Portland coffee house with a twist – serving Russian style Piroshkis and half-sour pickles. For those of you undesirous of clicking the link and navigating away from my narrative, piroshkis are stuffed Russian pastries, with either sweet or savory fillings. While there… Continue reading Portland, OR – Piroshki & A Pickle (Review)
