Attention Food Company Executives – “Clean up in Aisle Everywhere”

Food companies: Americans need your help right now. We’ll make it up to you later, we promise. Seems like every time I go into a grocery store, which is 3-4x weekly, everything is up another dollar. Seriously? Yes, we know your costs are up, but aren’t you taking advantage just a wee little bit? I… Continue reading Attention Food Company Executives – “Clean up in Aisle Everywhere”

Duluth, MN – Grandma’s Reprise

Minnesota Burger Reporter Kawikamedia and the burger posse hit Grandma’s Saloon and Deli the other nite. A frequent hot spot for locals and tourists alike, at the base of the Aerial Lift Bridge in Duluth’s tourist quarter, “Canal Park.”   We’ve had a couple reports from Grandma’s in the past. Relevant to nothing except my memory book,… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Grandma’s Reprise

Gluten Free Bakery – Portland’s Fairycakes

Mrs. Burgerdogboy trotted home some gluten free cupcakes last nite, baked by FairyCakes of Portland (503-961-3898), and available at Lingonberries Market in the ‘Couve. We have a number of friends following gluten-free regimens, and have even hosted a GF dinner at our home. I haven’t been impressed with a lot of offerings in the GF category.… Continue reading Gluten Free Bakery – Portland’s Fairycakes

Recipe – Classic Cheeseburger (Safeway)

I was in my local Safeway this morning, which is probably one of their smallest stores, and they are about to tear it down and rebuild.  They have such a limited selection and such high prices, and a  giant remodel job at a nearby local Fred Meyer (Kroger) probably leaves them no alternative. 1.99 pounds of… Continue reading Recipe – Classic Cheeseburger (Safeway)

I Proclaim “Be Nice to Restaurant People” Month

I get annoyed with restaurant reviewers that trash places just because they like reading their own venom in “print.” Although I fail at times, I try hard to always remember what incredibly hard work it is to own a restaurant, and what a generally thankless jobs employees have  – from the top of the staff… Continue reading I Proclaim “Be Nice to Restaurant People” Month

Home Cookin’ – DiGiorno Cheese Stuffed Crust

“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

Revisiting a Food Classic – Hormel’s SPAM(tm)

Where do I begin this yarn?  Wandering the aisles of WalMart in Vancouver, WA,  at 1AM last night?  Or a childhood memory of a meat packing plant tour in Austin, MN? I guess we begin………at the beginning. SPAM ™ Luncheon Meat was officially launched by the George A. Hormel Company of Austin, Minnesota, in 1937.… Continue reading Revisiting a Food Classic – Hormel’s SPAM(tm)

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

Cheap Eats – A Lot of Baloney

In light of the economy, readers have asked me to be on the lookout for cheap deals; everybody needs to stretch their food budget.  I don’t know what kids pack in the brown bag lunches these days (do they even take lunch to school any more, is it allowed?), but for me, a half a… Continue reading Cheap Eats – A Lot of Baloney
