Winco, is the evolution of a grocery chain started in Boise, ID over 40 years ago. Under the original founders, Winco operated under various names like Waremart, and also operated outlets of Minneapolis-based Cub Foods.

Portland, OR – Sub Rosa
Mrs. Burgerdogboy has taken to grabbing up Groupon and Living Social deals she thinks would amuse me, and I’m grateful for her thoughtfulness, as well as the opportunity to try new places. Last nite, we hit “Sub Rosa“, a small neighborhood Italian joint over on SE Clinton. This worked out great, as she had another… Continue reading Portland, OR – Sub Rosa
Vancouver, WA – Bortolami’s Pizza
Stopped here at the rec of a fellow Yelper, while passing thru the area yesterday. I had a car load of people of varying ilks (gluten free, vegetarian, and me – garbage-atarian) (I eat anything), and the menu offered something for everyone. Three small pies and a Greek salad put me back $61, which was… Continue reading Vancouver, WA – Bortolami’s Pizza
Nationwide Chain – Sbarro’s
Sbarro is the king of mall pizza, arguably. And the chain recently entered voluntary bankruptcy. I saw an article recently that called Sbarro “America’s least essential restaurant,” and that may well be true. I hadn’t been to one in a long time, but finding myself trapped in a mall the other day, I deciced to… Continue reading Nationwide Chain – Sbarro’s
Beaverton, OR – Buffet Palace
Quit your hatin’. Why does this place get panned so much? I love Asian buffets, and this is one of the better ones I have been to. Located near the Cedar Hills Mall, Buffet Palace offers more choices for lunch and dinner than you can shake a stick at. (What does that mean, anyway?) From… Continue reading Beaverton, OR – Buffet Palace
Portland, OR – Silver Dollar Bar & Pizza
I like the Silver Dollar. According to Mrs. Burgerdogboy, they make a damned fine lemon drop (the secret is real orange, not triple sec), and according to me, they make a damned fine all meat pizza. (The Long Horn features Canadian bacon, salami, Italian sausage, beef, and extra cheese). Read thru various online reviews, and… Continue reading Portland, OR – Silver Dollar Bar & Pizza
Portland, OR – Barbur World Foods (Pizza)
One of our neighborhood grocery stores, Barbur World Foods, features a wide variety of imported groceries, and an over-the-top deli counter where you can buy the requisite sliced meat, cheese, as well as a number of freshly made hot and cold dishes lately. They also have made-to-order brick oven pizzas, including some specialty Lebanese style… Continue reading Portland, OR – Barbur World Foods (Pizza)
Kroger Brand Refrigerated Pizza – Double Pepperoni
Lots of pizza places will let you ‘double up’ on toppings, for a price. You’ll see places that offer “double cheese”, or “double meat.” At the other end of the spectrum, you’ll see places that limit the number of toppings, saying their pies aren’t meant for more than that. So where can you go if… Continue reading Kroger Brand Refrigerated Pizza – Double Pepperoni
Canoga Park, CA – Jerry’s Pizzeria
I was tooling around the San Fernando Valley the other day, looking for sustenance, when I spotted Jerry’s Pizzeria on Sherman Way. I found a parking place in the pack, and noted it was right next to a deli proclaiming they had “L.A.’s #1 sandwich.” Hmm, dilemma. As I had a scheduled lunch… Continue reading Canoga Park, CA – Jerry’s Pizzeria
Corning, CA – The Olive Pit
What does an out of business burger chain in the midwest and an olive retailer in Corning, CA have in common? Burger condiment bars par excellence! My then fiance and I used to head over to the regional chain Burger Chef on occasion – you could buy a cheap burger and load… Continue reading Corning, CA – The Olive Pit
