Nathan’s Famous Corn Dog Bites /Black Swan

    Mrs. BDB and I headed to the cinema for a Sunday afternoon break.  We chose to see the multi-Oscar nominated “Black Swan”, a tale of the obsessive world of ballet performers, and the pain and suffering (physical and emotional) they put themselves through to reach the top of their chosen profession. Regal Cinemas… Continue reading Nathan’s Famous Corn Dog Bites /Black Swan

Beaverton, OR – Wong’s King

They were not terribly busy when we walked in, but biz picked up when a bus load of Chinese tourists stopped by half-way through our meal. The crowd was small enough that they only needed one loaded trolley to serve the room, but that trolley was full of dim sum deliciousness.  We went for some… Continue reading Beaverton, OR – Wong’s King

Tigard, OR – Sanchez Taqueria

So Mrs. BurgerDogBoy and I used to go to this little bar down 99W in Tigard, I think it was called Rodney’s – and I’d get a club sandwich (which was fine!), and she’d get ribs or a perfectly adequate steak.  The staff was personable, and they’d have bar type events, which we didn’t participate… Continue reading Tigard, OR – Sanchez Taqueria

Home Cookin’ Test – Whole Foods Pizza Crust

  Mrs. Burgerdogboy wandered thru the Irvington Whole Foods the other day, after a nearby appointment for her work.  She picked me up a two-pack (I always make a bad “Tupac” pun, just to make her groan) of Whole Food’s refrigerated Whole Wheat pizza crusts.  Being a guy, and not prone to following directions on… Continue reading Home Cookin’ Test – Whole Foods Pizza Crust

Portland, OR – San Sai (via Delivered Dish)

Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I often eschew the holiday crowds on typical dining out days, and Valentine’s Day proved no exception to our “rule.” We decided to have dinner sent to the house  via Delivered Dish, the local service we use quite often and are very satisfied with.  (Available in both Portland and Denver). I was left… Continue reading Portland, OR – San Sai (via Delivered Dish)

Portland, OR – Sheridan Fruit Company Again

Mrs. BurgerDogBoy (whom you will recall eschews eating burgers with me, except once or twice a year), eyeballed the ready to bake meat loaf at Sheridan Fruit Company in Portland the other day. A solid three pounds of ground meat, onions, bell peppers and spices, 350 for 75 minutes, a masterpiece. It was fantabulous!! Thanks, wifey!!!!

Portland, OR – Wong’s King Seafood

Went astray tonight, no burgers, hot dogs, or pizza; business dinner at Wong’s King Seafood in SE Portland, reportedly “the place” for great dim sum.  Don’t think I will venture out for that, undoubtedly crowded.  Liked it tonight, very few customers and we had one of the private dining rooms anyway. My host, another old… Continue reading Portland, OR – Wong’s King Seafood

Mrs. BDB Discovers Some Tasty Potato Chips

Ordinarily, my wife wouldn’t walk across a small room for a potato chip, just doesn’t care about them one way or another.  Me, on the other hand, I was pretty used to consuming two big bags of them (Wavy or Ruffles) a week, until recently.  I’ve slacked off.   I especially like them to dip… Continue reading Mrs. BDB Discovers Some Tasty Potato Chips
