Yearning for a taste of her Los Angeles roots, Mrs. Burgerdogboy suggested we find an adequate-sized Mexican grocery and pick up some supplies for Mexican style “street tacos.” She was feeling a bit nostalgic for home comfort food, and me, I’m always up for her cooking, and a little taco nostalgia myself, tho my… Continue reading Portland, OR – Taco Cart, 18330 SE Stark St

Woodland, WA – Gilliano’s Pizza and Ice Cream Parlor
Colleague and I popped in here for a quick bite. Gilliano’s is a very family oriented pizza and ice cream establishment, with seating galore and a large game room for the kids. We split the Gilliano’s Special, Canadian Bacon, salami, pepperoni, sausage and extra cheese, and were quite satisfied. The crust is medium thickness, buttery… Continue reading Woodland, WA – Gilliano’s Pizza and Ice Cream Parlor
Renton, WA – Vince’s Italian Kitchen
I’ve had awfully “good luck” ordering from d-dish.com in Portland, one of those restaurant home delivery marketing companies. Delivered Dish signs up restaurants, supplies back end ordering/menu software, and arranges delivery of restaurant menu items direct to your house for a small fee. Most large cities have a similar service, and on a business trip… Continue reading Renton, WA – Vince’s Italian Kitchen
New Orleans, LA – Dat Dog
(by Kat Stromquist, New Orleans-based correspondent) As a Chicago ex-pat, I had long looked forward to sampling the wares of Dat Dog, an upscale hot dog stand in the revamped Freret Street corridor of New Orleans. I’m serious about the “stand” part: just six or seven tables are crammed in and around the storefront, and… Continue reading New Orleans, LA – Dat Dog
Home Cookin’ – Private Selections Marble Hearth Pizza
This is a short and (not so) sweet review. I was intrigued by the packaging and photo, but unimpressed with the product. The Private Selections brand (a house brand for Kroger affiliated stores) Marble Hearth Pizza, with pepperoni and roasted garlic didn’t have much going for it. While the crust was OK, and the presence… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Private Selections Marble Hearth Pizza
Tigard, OR – Tigard Pizza Kitchen
Was home sick, decided to treat myself for lunch. “Feed a cold, feed a fever, feed a hangnail,” my ma used to say. So I mulled over my delivery options and opted for Tigard Pizza Kitchen. I have about five delivery options at the noon hour for my sector, so why Tigard? One of the… Continue reading Tigard, OR – Tigard Pizza Kitchen
Home Cookin’ – Uli’s Sausage from Seattle, WA
Mrs. Burgerdogboy love getting our pork on for weekend breakfasts, and this can take many forms: bacon, ham chops, jowls, links, patties, smoked or fresh sausage. This weekend, we picked up some linguica from Uli’s Sausage of Seattle, being sold in the Portland area at Sheridan Fruit Market. Linguica (for those of you who didn’t… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Uli’s Sausage from Seattle, WA
Thumann’s Natural Casing Beef Hot Dogs
I had my cap set on some natural casing hot dogs the other day; after all, I had just received a new shipment of Skyline Chili in the post, and I needed something to slather it on! Natural casing hot dogs are my favorite, but not America’s – less than 5% of the hot dogs… Continue reading Thumann’s Natural Casing Beef Hot Dogs
Home Cookin’ – Stouffer’s “S.O.S”
I’m generally thought to be a fairly good internet researcher, tho I have not been able to come up with the origin of “SOS” or “Shit on a Shingle” as it was referred to by generations of US armed service employees. (A more polite version of the abbreviation might be “Stuff on a shingle’ or… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Stouffer’s “S.O.S”
Fletcher’s Hot Link Smoked Sausages
Fletcher’s, “proudly Canadian since 1917”, arguably makes some of the best mass-market bacon around. And you’ll pay for it, as well. A full line-up of their processed pork products is here. We’re enjoyed their bacon from time to time, and last week I picked up a pack of their Louisiana style hot links smoked sausage.… Continue reading Fletcher’s Hot Link Smoked Sausages
