I’ve reviewed Red Baron products before, frozen pies brought to you by the good folks at Schwan’s from Minnesota, my home territory. (Many believe Minnesota is the birthplace of frozen pizza, courtesy of Rose Totino, and later, Jeno Paulucci). Today I wanted to take the two French bread pizzas and compare them by cooking one via… Continue reading Compare & Contrast – Red Baron French Bread Pizza

Cheap Eats – A Lot of Baloney
In light of the economy, readers have asked me to be on the lookout for cheap deals; everybody needs to stretch their food budget. I don’t know what kids pack in the brown bag lunches these days (do they even take lunch to school any more, is it allowed?), but for me, a half a… Continue reading Cheap Eats – A Lot of Baloney

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
Duluth, MN – Dry Dock Bar and Restaurant
In Duluth, we’d say this place was out in the boonies, back in the day, but it’s not anymore. Overlooking the Grand View Golf Course, on a high hill, sitting at the Dry Dock you can see 50 miles to the South. But why would you want to look at the view, instead of your… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Dry Dock Bar and Restaurant
Worldwide – Trader Vic’s
Ah, back in my salad days, Trader Vic’s, in Mpls-St. Paul, used to be one of my “go-to” places to impress the ladies! Did it work? Oh, yeah! So now, TV’s has returned to open in Portland, and is chock-a-block full of authentic tiki decor, and serves up some of the best exotic cocktails and… Continue reading Worldwide – Trader Vic’s
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?
Subway Club vs 7-Eleven Club Sandwich
(Short link to full post for mobile readers). I’m becoming a cheap fucker in my golden years; or perhaps I’m penny pinching like most folks in the “new economy.” In any case, I look for value these days, the most quantity for the least amount of money. In October, Subway has all foot longs for… Continue reading Subway Club vs 7-Eleven Club Sandwich
Gearing Up for the Winter Burger Tour!
We’re gearing up for one of our semi annual trips around the US to ferret out the best (and worst) burgers, hot dogs, and pizza. This time around, we’ll be traveling the East Coast, from Maine to Miami, hitting the birthplaces of pizzas in the US, the Jersey diners, the Carolinas BBQ trail. But we… Continue reading Gearing Up for the Winter Burger Tour!
