I try a lot of these types of products, you can see other reviews by hitting the “Heat and Eat” tags. I try these not so much as a quest to find the world’s best cuisine, but rather due to a personal fascination at how much this industry segment is evolving. Some of my… Continue reading Home Cookin ‘ – Kroger’s Beef Pot Roast Au Jus Review

Home Cookin’ – Red Baron Pizza w/ Cheese Sticks
I have home tested quite a few frozen pizzas, including other offerings by Red Baron. Tonight’s choice, due to a sale price of 2 / $7, was Red Baron’s Classic Pepperoni packaged with a side of Mozzarella Cheese Sticks. The image I found on line (left) for the package states “12 Cheese Sticks”, but my… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Red Baron Pizza w/ Cheese Sticks
Alabama – Hot Dog Tour Review
(From our travel archives) Continued my southern chili dog quest, armed with suggestions from friends, Romans, and countrymen, this week I pretty much covered Mississippi and Alabama. I got deep into Georgia, as well, but time constraints actually prevented me from sampling the fare; the only thing I came away from Georgia with was a… Continue reading Alabama – Hot Dog Tour Review
Baton Rouge, LA – Ruth’s Chris Review
(From our archives) I was scheduled to have a business lunch in Baton Rouge today, but the restaurant that I was told to go to was closed for lunch. So I off-handedly suggested “Ruth’s Chris,” really because I don’t know B.R. at all, but had seen an outlet of this New Orleans founded chain along… Continue reading Baton Rouge, LA – Ruth’s Chris Review
New Orleans, LA – Charlie’s Steak House
(From our archives) In a city known for great seafood, and as I have written before, I’m delighted there are so many great steakhouses here. Especially ones that have endured w/o change over the years. For the past 70 years, Charlie’s has been selling the “sizzle” right along side the best of them, but doing… Continue reading New Orleans, LA – Charlie’s Steak House
Aloha, OR – Donut Day
Mrs. Burgerdogboy had business in the same hood as this shop the other day, and she swears (alot!) that the donut shop had one of those ‘flavor fingers’ we used to see in cartoons beckoning her in. In the spirit of the season, “pumpkin” flavored baked goods were in abundance, and she picked up three… Continue reading Aloha, OR – Donut Day
Duluth, MN – Billy’s
Once upon a time, in rural Duluth, there was the Idle Hour Inn. My family used to hit it up in the winter, with some of my parent’s friends, usually after skiing or hayrides. The building is still there, a gaggle of owners since, in its current incantation, it’s “Billy’s.” I don’t have a clear… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Billy’s
Home Cookin’ – Sneaky Salt Pumpkin Seeds
Every year, the kids have to carve pumpkins. Not the most fun, but not horrible. The upside? I’m the beneficiary of the seeds, a treat I really like. Mrs. Burgerdogboy concocted her own recipe this year, using Sneaky Salts, and the results were superb. Here’s how it unfolded: Recipe Seeds from one large pumpkin 1… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Sneaky Salt Pumpkin Seeds
Regional Profile – Sabrett Hot Dogs, Part 7
Natural Casing Beef Franks & Sauerkraut I was really looking forward to the day we’d test these. NC dogs are my favorite, and I love them with kraut and mustard. Sabrett furnished us with all three components. Sabrett’s Natural Casing Beef franks come 6 to a package, slightly longer than bun length; beef, water,… Continue reading Regional Profile – Sabrett Hot Dogs, Part 7
Home Cookin ‘ – Ball Park Brand Flame Grilled Beef Patties
I’ve tested a lot of ‘heat and eat’ burger patties at home, from the frozen varieties like Fred Meyer Frozen Mini Cheeseburgers, Private Selection Angus Beef Patties, and Trader Joes Kobe Style, White Castle, to the convenience store types like Big A Angus Charbroil, and the 7-Eleven Cheeseburger, With the exception of the mini mart burgers, the other patties… Continue reading Home Cookin ‘ – Ball Park Brand Flame Grilled Beef Patties
