(Editor note – I am currently traveling and will be mostly posting reviews that I left unfinished for one reason or another, while building up a repertoire of the new places I hit! There will also be reviews from some new reporters we have signed up). I was on my way back to the left… Continue reading The Grand Canyon. Huh?

On Being Diabetic and Eating This Kind of Stuff
I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about 2 years ago. Decades of not paying attention, being overweight, not exercising. I can still enjoy all these foods I write about, but in moderation, which should have been the case from the get go. I guess I was absent that day in health class. I’ve made… Continue reading On Being Diabetic and Eating This Kind of Stuff

(Editor note – I am currently traveling and will be mostly posting reviews that I left unfinished for one reason or another, while building up a repertoire of the new places I hit!

Portland, OR – Fire on the Mountain
Another happy event brought to us by Delivered Dish in Portland. (Other Delivered Dish experiences here, almost all positive). Fire on the Mountain (FOTM) is the self-proclaimed the wing authority of Portland, and I’m not one to argue, being as I’m not a wing nut. (Great pun, eh?). But Mrs. BDB is, and we ordered… Continue reading Portland, OR – Fire on the Mountain
Beaverton, OR – Antoni’s
One more ‘old-timey’ diner and bar knocked off my to-do list. I’ve been meaning to get her for awhile, because rumor has it, it’s Greek-owned, and that group of restaurant owners just seems to get breakfast “right” (and chili dogs, as well). Mrs. Burgerdogboy treated me and I went straight for the Italian sausage and… Continue reading Beaverton, OR – Antoni’s
Change of Scene for Burgerdogboy
All good (and bad) things must come to an end, and so ends my time in Portland. Years ago, living overseas, I had an email address that was “global netizen,” and that’s what I shall become again (not the email, the real thing), traveling the highways and byways of this lovely planet, the world has… Continue reading Change of Scene for Burgerdogboy
Life of Pi – Movie Review
I don’t usually review movies on this web site, unless the central theme of the film is food (like “Big Night”). However I want to talk about this one, because it being the holiday season and all, I thought a movie all about pie would be fun, and hoped it would feature my favorite “pecan.”… Continue reading Life of Pi – Movie Review
South Range (Superior) WI – Kounty Quarthouse Review
Kawika and the Minnesota Burger Posse rolled into the Quarthouse the other day. Located off US Highway 2, about 15 miles south of Duluth/Superior. An establishment that dates all the way back to Prohibition, The Kounty Quarthouse specializes in an “updated” American menu, but with full dinner service available as well. (Spoiler alert). The posse… Continue reading South Range (Superior) WI – Kounty Quarthouse Review
Seattle, WA – Random Stops
(From our travel archives) Escaped from post-Katrina for a few days, ostensibly for business, but really for my sanity. I finally found a place where the Chinese food in the US tastes Chinese, a little place north of the city called Doong Kong Lau Haaka Cuisine. The “Haaka” were one of the nomadic tribes of China, and as such,… Continue reading Seattle, WA – Random Stops
Taipei City, Taiwan – The Brass Monkey Review
Taiwan reporter Kayoumin stopped in at the Brass Monkey last nite, Taipei’s bonafide Antipodean style sports bar, and, while the menu offers a wide variety of ‘western style’ ‘sports bar’ cuisine items, opted for the giant saucisson (hot dog), with fries and beers on the side. He said that the sausage was “German style”, which… Continue reading Taipei City, Taiwan – The Brass Monkey Review
