“It’s Not Delivery, It’s DiGiorno” state the commercials for this Nestle product. Hmmm. I’ve had lots of delivered pizzas that became fleeting, one-time events in my life, and if DiGiorno wants to be placed into that category, I’m happy to oblige them. I purchased the “bacon, sausage, and pepperoni” topped version of this pie, and the packaging has… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – DiGiorno Cheese Stuffed Crust

Compare & Contrast – Red Baron French Bread Pizza
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
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
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?
Lean Cuisine Spinach & Mushroom Pizza
Boy, was I ever prepared not to like this. But the cupboards were bare, and while I gave up “4th meal” a long time ago, I was waiting for Mrs. Burgerdogboy to come home from a networking event, so we could watch the latest installment of Sons of Anarchy. The pizza comes with one of… Continue reading Lean Cuisine Spinach & Mushroom Pizza
Gearing Up for the Winter Burger Tour!
We’re gearing up for one of our semi annual trips around the US to ferret out the best (and worst) burgers, hot dogs, and pizza. This time around, we’ll be traveling the East Coast, from Maine to Miami, hitting the birthplaces of pizzas in the US, the Jersey diners, the Carolinas BBQ trail. But we… Continue reading Gearing Up for the Winter Burger Tour!
Portland, OR – Sunshine Tavern
Had a great time at a private fete at Sunshine Tavern in Portland on Saturday afternoon. I’m sure I will return, it’s a menu made just for me! We were served a wide variety of dishes, and overall my favorite was Sunshine’s take on the national dish of Canada, poutine. Sunshine’s version adds Italian pork… Continue reading Portland, OR – Sunshine Tavern
Perfecting Making Pizza at Home
I’ve been screwing around at home for years trying to make a great pizza crust, and I’m finally satisfied with mine. My method produces a great thin crust, crispy at the edges, and chewier as one progresses inland towards the center of the pie. The recipe isn’t that different from any variation you will find… Continue reading Perfecting Making Pizza at Home
Portland, OR – Blitz Ladd (for pizza)
Mrs. Burgerdogboy was having a lunch biz meeting here and offered to bring me something home. (She is SO good to me!) I went with the pizza, simply because a) I haven’t had pizza in awhile, and 2) I had not tried Blitz’s and it would give me something to write about. I asked her… Continue reading Portland, OR – Blitz Ladd (for pizza)
