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

Nationwide – Domino’s Meatzza

OK, so I am “late to the party” in trying Domino’s “new recipe.”  Reason being, there are no outlets near my house.  There used to be one within spitting distance, but at least a couple of different operators couldn’t make a go off it, despite being within blocks of a large college.  So it was… Continue reading Nationwide – Domino’s Meatzza

Portland, OR – Three Square Grill (Review)

In our hood, Three Square Grill has been dishing up their take on American favorites, sourcing locally whenever possible, for over ten years. While we’ve always intended to go there, we had never made it, until last nite, and we’ve been missing out.  Mrs. Burgerdogboy had called from her daily errands and suggested a date… Continue reading Portland, OR – Three Square Grill (Review)

Houma, LA – Boudreaux & Thibodeaux’s Cajun Diner Review

(From our travel archives) I am embarrassed to say I don’t know the origin of these Cajun nicknames. Actually, they are pretty common surnames in Acadiana, but over the years, they have taken on a comical quality when used as given names, akin to “Sven and Ole” in the Upper Midwest, “Pat & Mike” in… Continue reading Houma, LA – Boudreaux & Thibodeaux’s Cajun Diner Review

Portland, OR – Bird Dog Review

The “Bird Dog” name doesn’t come from any of the conventional or urban slang definitions of that phrase, but rather, one would imagine, as an homage to the cafe’s signature dish moniker, a hot dog prepared in the way occasionally people are used to hearing a different cut of meat prepared in some parts of… Continue reading Portland, OR – Bird Dog Review

The Dinner Bell Review – McComb, MS

(From the Burgerdogboy travel archives!) I’d been wanting to hit the Dinner Bell in downtown McComb for some time. On the way back from my Southern hot dog quest, I drove another couple hundred miles out of my way to take advantage of time and opportunity. The Dinner Bell is only open Tuesday thru Sunday… Continue reading The Dinner Bell Review – McComb, MS

Jack Link’s Sasquatch Big Stick

More than a hundred years ago, Chris Link started cranking out snacks and jerky for the lumberjacks of Northern Wisconsin.  Link settled in the tiny burg of Minong (pop. 531) , and today, from those humble beginnings, Jack Link’s has become arguably the largest meat snack company in the free world.  I became a fan when… Continue reading Jack Link’s Sasquatch Big Stick

Dallas, TX – Fogo de Chao

Joe Tex might sing, “I gaucho! Uh huh, uh huh, give it here!” if he popped in Fogo de Chao, the Brazilian-style barbecue (churrascaria) on Belt Line, one of the bona-fide “restaurant rows” in Dallas. Fogo (which means “fire” in Portuguese) should have a sign I saw on a restaurant recently in Kansas: “A Vegetarian’s… Continue reading Dallas, TX – Fogo de Chao

Portland, OR – Oven and Shaker Review

The name refers to the two elements that the restaurant hopes to capitalize on – oven, for wood fired “Neapolitan style” pizzas, and shaker, for interesting cocktails.  This partnership between a local 4 time nominated James Beard candidate and a local renowned drinksmith held great promise when announced, but in my opinion, succeeds at the… Continue reading Portland, OR – Oven and Shaker Review
