The fine folks at Donovan’s Cellar in NY asked if I minded if they sent me a sneak preview some of their new relish – Chili Maple, they called it. Believe it or not, Burgerdogboy is NEVER one to turn down free food, especially if it’s something new. Now I am not generally a relish… Continue reading Finally – a Relish for ME!

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
Portland Hummus “Wars” Escalate!
I have written several posts about the “hummus wars” in SW PDX; it amuses me to see these two competing merchants go “at each other” and “up the ante” in various ways. Hummus Stop fired another shot across the bow of Baba Fresh this week with the start of an outdoor seating area in… Continue reading Portland Hummus “Wars” Escalate!
Portland, OR – Spirit of Portland Cruise
Mrs. BurgerDogBoy surprised me with one of her anniversary gifts, and purchased the lunch time cruise on the “Spirit of Portland” ship that puffs up and down the Willamette and Columbia Rivers for the benefit of tourists and denizens, alike. My experience with dinner cruises has been fairly limited in my lifetime, from the really… Continue reading Portland, OR – Spirit of Portland Cruise
Nationwide – Sizzler “All the Goldfish You Can Eat”
Yes, that’s a silly title. But it’s true, on the Sizzler salad bar, they have goldfish crackers as one of the toppings. I went to Sizzler recently, all by myself, because I am surrounded by silver spooners who believe places like Sizzler are too “down market” for them. But as you guys know, rotund personalities (like… Continue reading Nationwide – Sizzler “All the Goldfish You Can Eat”
Portland Sandwich Company
Never heard of it, have ya? PSC makes sandwiches for gas stations, mini marts, vending, and offices. There’s usually a company or two like this in every city, they compete with national brands of the same ilk like “Deli Express.” I’ve written about ‘gas station sandwiches’ on an occasion or two. That’s my phrase for… Continue reading Portland Sandwich Company
Hollywood, CA – Papaya King
Legendary New York dog peddlar opens first location in California. More complete review pending. Some folks call it “the best hot dog in the world.” <
Portland, OR – Big Ass Sandwiches
Hadn’t been back here for a while, one of my favorite Portland food carts, on SW Third and Ash. Big Ass Sandwiches serves just that, hunks of succulent meat on a great roll, smothered with fries…or maybe you’d like some bacon or grilled vegetables on that? This time around, I went with the French Dip,… Continue reading Portland, OR – Big Ass Sandwiches
The $1 Fishwich
Yes, folks, I eat these things so you don’t have to. This was from the Dollar Store. A buck. Pretty good bun, really. The fish patty was like most fast food ones, reminiscent of fish, but that’s all. Microwaving doesn’t improve on it.
Nationwide Chain – Sbarro’s
Sbarro is the king of mall pizza, arguably. And the chain recently entered voluntary bankruptcy. I saw an article recently that called Sbarro “America’s least essential restaurant,” and that may well be true. I hadn’t been to one in a long time, but finding myself trapped in a mall the other day, I deciced to… Continue reading Nationwide Chain – Sbarro’s
