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!

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

National French Fry Day – News from Wendy’s

This just in from Wendy’s, in honor of National French Fry Day, tomorrow, July 13. In honor of National French Fry Day on July 13, Wendy’s examined the growing phenomenon of dipsters, those who dip their fries into a Wendy’s Frosty. Yummm! The combination of the sweet cold Wendy’s Frosty and sea salt hot French… Continue reading National French Fry Day – News from Wendy’s

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)

Portland, OR – Sayler’s Old Country Kitchen (Review)

I was thinking about my infatuation with “old-timey” places as we were seated; is it because I’ve become old-timey myself? Or does eating in places like this evoke some nostalgic memory in me? I really can’t say. I just like places that are at least 40-50 years old, I guess it proves to me they… Continue reading Portland, OR – Sayler’s Old Country Kitchen (Review)

Home Cookin’ Test – Private Selection Angus Beef Patties Review

I picked these up on a whim today, some ‘extras’ to throw on the grill for the 4th.  6 1/3 pound patties for about $6.  “Angus”, but not “certified Angus”, and off the bat, I am a little concerned that the meat is not single country sourced, or if it is, the labeling on that… Continue reading Home Cookin’ Test – Private Selection Angus Beef Patties Review

New Orleans, LA – Antoine’s Review

(from our archives) My daughter and (then) her boyfriend were in town last week, she wanted “classic cuisine,” and although there aren’t many places I favor more than Gallatoires, for some reason (DOH!) I decided to take them to Antoine’s. The good news is, having two underage guests at dinner greatly cuts down on the… Continue reading New Orleans, LA – Antoine’s Review

Beaverton, OR – Pepita’s Mexican (Review)

Pepita’s is one of our little go to places for pretty good Mexican. Mrs. Burgerdogboy like their fairly authentic (as least as far as Los Angeles type Mexican) shrimp cocktail. My choices vary, and this time I went with two soft beef tacos, which comes with sides of beans and rice. The place is clean,… Continue reading Beaverton, OR – Pepita’s Mexican (Review)
