Portland, OR – Acadia

We have met the god of New Orleans cooking in PDX, and on their best nites, New Orleans legends like Commander’s or Galatoire’s aspire to present a meal as fantastic as Acadia did tonight. Mrs. BurgerDogBoy and I headed out to savor the special reveillon dinner at Acadia.  In French culture, the reveillon is a… Continue reading Portland, OR – Acadia

Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Sausage

Picked these up on my sausage fest at Sheridan Fruit Company in Portland. I’m not one to usually go for poultry-based sausages, but I do like the Buffalo flavor (except I don’t eat wings), and I love blue cheese.  I thought those two things might prevail in these tubular delights. The one advantage to poultry… Continue reading Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Sausage

Portland, OR – Soi9

We were invited to Soi9 last night, a Thai outlet on W Burnside.  It’s crammed into a triangular shaped space, which is interesting, and with a decor that is aesthetically gentle. I don’t care much for Thai food,  in the Americanized-style, just as I don’t care for Chinese cuisine of the same ilk.   Spoiled… Continue reading Portland, OR – Soi9

“Diabetic” Bakery in PDX

We wandered into a “Taste of Heaven” bakery in ‘downtown’ Tigard yesterday seeking a coffee (I know, hard to find in Portland).   We ended up splitting a chocolate eclair there, and Mrs. BurgerDogBoy brought home a small box of “diabetic friendly” baked goods. Really excellent stuff.  Menu is online. Pictured top to bottom, blueberry… Continue reading “Diabetic” Bakery in PDX

Portland, OR – The Crab Bowl

      Finding a good burger is always a treat; finding one in the most unlikely of locations is a double delight! Saturday Mrs. BurgerDogBoy and I were out on some of the last minute holiday rounds; stop at a thrift store for ugly sweaters for the Yelp party (SCORE!), Target, and then scooting… Continue reading Portland, OR – The Crab Bowl

Portland, Or – Nostrana

Local Portland business Attorney, Will Du Val, and his better half, ok, 2/3, Victoria, invited us out for some holiday cheer last night, and their choice was Nostrana, the locavore-oriented Italian place on SE Morrison. It’s always been a hang-out of theirs since the early days of couple-dom (2nd anniversary coming up Jan 1, if… Continue reading Portland, Or – Nostrana

Portland, OR – Doner Kebab

The sign outside says “German food”, and doner kebab certainly qualifies, despite its origins – it has become one of the most popular take-out dishes in Germany.   The words “doner kebab” literally mean “rotating meat”, and you might be familiar with the concept from other cultures – being similar to a gyro, or shawarma. I’d… Continue reading Portland, OR – Doner Kebab

Portland, Or – Dragonfish Asian Cafe

      Located on the ground floor of theParamount Hotel, across the street from Director’s Park in downtown Portland, Dragonfish is a mash-up of the cuisines of various Asian countries, and sushi, with a sprinkle of American fusion added. I’ve been here several times, even tho I am not a big sushi fan, it’s… Continue reading Portland, Or – Dragonfish Asian Cafe
