Something You Thought You Would Never Hear From Me

I ate soy sausage and didn’t die.  With our good friend Nicole visiting from L.A. this week, we “spiced up” our home cuisine to suit her veggie palate, including some raw foods (tho I skipped dinner at the raw restaurant last nite.) Mrs. Burgerdogboy and Nicole whipped up a vegetarian lunch spread today, and it… Continue reading Something You Thought You Would Never Hear From Me

Your Last Meal Request?

Green Chile Cheeseburger, Bobcat Bite, Santa Fe (Short link to full story for mobile readers) From time to time, someone writes an article about “oddball” last meal requests by condemned prisoners.  It was in the news again recently because Texas has now banned last meal requests – unless it is something normally offered or fixed… Continue reading Your Last Meal Request?

Portland, OR – Sunshine Tavern

Had a great time at a private fete at Sunshine Tavern in Portland on Saturday afternoon. I’m sure I will return, it’s a menu made just for me!

Sunshine’s version adds Italian pork… Continue reading Portland, OR – Sunshine Tavern

Portland, OR – Blitz Ladd (for pizza)

Mrs. Burgerdogboy was having a lunch biz meeting here and offered to bring me something home.  (She is SO good to me!)  I went with the pizza, simply because a) I haven’t had pizza in awhile, and 2) I had not tried Blitz’s and it would give me something to write about. I asked her… Continue reading Portland, OR – Blitz Ladd (for pizza)

10 Pounds of Bacon, $5.49

No, it’s not some anniversary special price roll-back for a grocery store. It’s what Homer Simpson could consume  at the Shoney’s Breakfast Buffet. (“Ah, gee, Marge, you promised we could have  pork SIX nights a week!”) But why stop at bacon?  Load up on patty  sausage, thick-sliced country ham, artery-clogging biscuit gravy or white sauce, … Continue reading 10 Pounds of Bacon, $5.49

Vancouver, WA – Bortolami’s Pizza

Stopped here at the rec of a fellow Yelper, while passing thru the area yesterday.  I had a car load of people of varying ilks (gluten free, vegetarian, and me – garbage-atarian) (I eat anything), and the menu offered something for everyone.   Three small pies and a Greek salad put me back $61, which was… Continue reading Vancouver, WA – Bortolami’s Pizza
