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

National French Fry Day – News from Wendy’s
This just in from Wendy’s, in honor of National French Fry Day, tomorrow, July 13. In honor of National French Fry Day on July 13, Wendy’s examined the growing phenomenon of dipsters, those who dip their fries into a Wendy’s Frosty. Yummm! The combination of the sweet cold Wendy’s Frosty and sea salt hot French… Continue reading National French Fry Day – News from Wendy’s
Portland, OR – Piroshki & A Pickle (Review)
On a desolate stretch of Corbett, Piroshki and A Pickle is a typical Portland coffee house with a twist – serving Russian style Piroshkis and half-sour pickles. For those of you undesirous of clicking the link and navigating away from my narrative, piroshkis are stuffed Russian pastries, with either sweet or savory fillings. While there… Continue reading Portland, OR – Piroshki & A Pickle (Review)
Portland, OR – Sayler’s Old Country Kitchen (Review)
I was thinking about my infatuation with “old-timey” places as we were seated; is it because I’ve become old-timey myself? Or does eating in places like this evoke some nostalgic memory in me? I really can’t say. I just like places that are at least 40-50 years old, I guess it proves to me they… Continue reading Portland, OR – Sayler’s Old Country Kitchen (Review)
Home Cookin’ Test – Private Selection Angus Beef Patties Review
I picked these up on a whim today, some ‘extras’ to throw on the grill for the 4th. 6 1/3 pound patties for about $6. “Angus”, but not “certified Angus”, and off the bat, I am a little concerned that the meat is not single country sourced, or if it is, the labeling on that… Continue reading Home Cookin’ Test – Private Selection Angus Beef Patties Review
New Orleans, LA – Antoine’s Review
(from our archives) My daughter and (then) her boyfriend were in town last week, she wanted “classic cuisine,” and although there aren’t many places I favor more than Gallatoires, for some reason (DOH!) I decided to take them to Antoine’s. The good news is, having two underage guests at dinner greatly cuts down on the… Continue reading New Orleans, LA – Antoine’s Review
Beaverton, OR – Pepita’s Mexican (Review)
Pepita’s is one of our little go to places for pretty good Mexican. Mrs. Burgerdogboy like their fairly authentic (as least as far as Los Angeles type Mexican) shrimp cocktail. My choices vary, and this time I went with two soft beef tacos, which comes with sides of beans and rice. The place is clean,… Continue reading Beaverton, OR – Pepita’s Mexican (Review)
Lafayette, LA – Prejean’s (Review)
(From out travel archives) Prejeans…………..Before Levi’s? I’d seen the restaurant Prejeans many times when driving up I-49 between Lafayette and Shreveport. I had never had an occasion to stop, although I had heard fairly good things about it. Local publicity calls it “award winning” and the “best Cajun cuisine in the South.” Those are pretty… Continue reading Lafayette, LA – Prejean’s (Review)
Vancouver, WA – Cinetopia 23 (Food review)
Movie theater food? Blech, usually, and I have opined on that topic many times. But at the ultra new, spiffy, Cinetopia (now with 3 area locations) in Vancouver, WA, food rules, and you can order and have it delivered to your chair in a few of the multiplex screens. As well as cocktails! Mrs. Burgerdogboy… Continue reading Vancouver, WA – Cinetopia 23 (Food review)

Kawikamedia and the Minnesota Burger Posse have embarked on a mission of checking out “dive” bars in the area. This week, it was the Amnicon Bar s on the Corner of Tri Lake Road and County A out by Pattison Park. About 10 miles South of Superior, Wisconsin, on Amnicon Lake. There are a… Continue reading Superior, WI – Amnicon Bar (Review)
