Bakersfield, CA – Milt’s Coffee Shop

The Burgerdogboy likes a traditional coffee shop/diner as much as he digs burgers, dogs, and pizza, but it would have made for a really unwieldy URL, so there you go. Milt’s happened to be across the parking lot from my motel, and I was in the mood for a good club or French dip, as… Continue reading Bakersfield, CA – Milt’s Coffee Shop

Nationwide – Jason’s Deli

Jason’s Deli is a medium-sized chain operation, mostly in the Eastern half of the country, offering made-to-order sandwiches, soups, and salads.   I wandered into a suburban Dallas location the other day, it was late at night, they were close to the motel, and I like a good sandwich about as much as the next… Continue reading Nationwide – Jason’s Deli

The Fruits of My Condiment Garden

Fall, and that means harvest time.  If you would have told me five years ago that I become the urbane gardener, I would have given you the raspberry – and not the growing kind.    But I have, and I take great joy in it.  We’ve been plucking and eating all manner of things throughout… Continue reading The Fruits of My Condiment Garden

Chicken Five Ways – Weird Week

I know, what the hell is BurgerDogBoy doing writing about chicken?  On any given day, if you asked me what i wanted to eat for my next meal, chicken usually wouldn’t even be in the top 25.  Yet, this week, I had it no less than 5 times!  WTF?  Do I need to start a… Continue reading Chicken Five Ways – Weird Week

Home Cookin’ – Hearst Ranch Grass Fed Beef

I had the opportunity to sample some flank steaks courtesy of California’s Hearst Ranch. Some background:   Hearst Ranch is made up of thousands of acres of lush California grazing land surrounding San Simeon, the former outpost for the late media mogul William Randolph Hearst.   He owned about 250,000 acres (that’s nearly 400 square miles!) of… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Hearst Ranch Grass Fed Beef

Portland, OR – Julie’s Vietnamese (Food Cart)

In the middle of the 5th/Oak/Stark pod, is a nondescript trailer which I wouldn’t have known the name of, save for the sign board on the sidewalk. For me, this place would be an odd choice for my noontime repast, but Mrs. BDB and I had out of town guests, and we were trying desperately… Continue reading Portland, OR – Julie’s Vietnamese (Food Cart)

Why I’m Not Eating Burgers at the Oregon State Fair

I went last year, and was disappointed at the selections of foods available …. State Fairs were started as showcases for local farmers; in fact, Oregon’s was started iin 1959 by the Oregon Fruitgrowers Association. So in my humble opinion, a State Fair should highlight the best of the region, unique and/or innovative twists on… Continue reading Why I’m Not Eating Burgers at the Oregon State Fair

Portland, OR – The Hummus Stop

Well, this is a strange review. A non-review. For “The Hummus Stop” at Capitol Hwy and Pomona (across the street from an apparent, established competitor, Baba Fresh) is not open. Oh, they’ve been working on it. Since January, I believe. Neighbors in the strip mall said they hear H.S. would open July 4. Obviously not.… Continue reading Portland, OR – The Hummus Stop
