(Guest columnist William Duval, Portland business attorney, and frequent BurgerDogBoy burger companion, turns in this report): During my Match.com days – the ones after my divorce – I made a point to be filthy informed and up to date on the epicurean landscape of my fairly miserable city. I knew where the creamiest crepe could… Continue reading Guest Columnist, Attorney William Duval

Two Harbors, MN – Ledge Rock Grill
Once upon a time, “fine dining” in Two Harbors meant a visit to Dairy Queen. These days, with a smattering of posh resorts for the ‘visit Lake Superior’ and ‘get away for a night Duluthian’ crowds, dining has been elevated to an entirely new level. The Ledge Rock Grill is the house restaurant for the… Continue reading Two Harbors, MN – Ledge Rock Grill
Portland, OR – Marco’s Cafe
A nooner of a different color – I love the days when Mrs. Burgerdogboy calls from the road and says “wanna go to lunch?” Oh yeah, sez I. We wanted something tasty and nearby, and she had talked about Marco’s Cafe in Multnomah Village before, so we headed over there. There was a slight wait… Continue reading Portland, OR – Marco’s Cafe

Portland, OR – Banning’s Restaurant and Pie Shop
Every once and awhile, all I want is a good piece of pie and a cup o joe, and Banning’s fills that need, 24 hours a day. If you don’t know Banning’s, it’s right off 217 on 99W (southbound), just a couple blocks off the exit, on the right. It’s one of the few places… Continue reading Portland, OR – Banning’s Restaurant and Pie Shop
Los Angeles Coffee Shops
When you see a billboard proclaiming “Esquire Magazine says best pancakes in USA”, you take note. And the place is Dupar’s, with several Southern California locations, as well as the flagship in the Los Angeles Farmer’s Market at 3rd and Fairfax. That location has been open since 1938, and a few years ago, was closed… Continue reading Los Angeles Coffee Shops
Manna for Minnesotans …. and it’s not Burgers!
I can’t think of many things a typical Minnesotan would rather eat than the State fish, the Walleye Pike. (OK, maybe some weird casserole involving spam and crumbled potato chips!) Fished both commercially and recreationally, the Walleye (which is really a member of the Perch family, not the Pike family), is both an exciting game… Continue reading Manna for Minnesotans …. and it’s not Burgers!
The Joy of Living in Food Nirvana
I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical of moving to Portland….worried I was going to go hungry after living in (arguably) the food capital of North America – New Orleans, for five years. But a bitch named Katrina persuaded me it was time to go, and after searching high and low, Mrs. BDB… Continue reading The Joy of Living in Food Nirvana
Lake Oswego, OR – Five Spice Seafood & Wine Bar
Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I have switched our weekly happy hour nite out to Tuesdays, instead of Wednesdays, as she has a crack o’ dawn biz obligation every Thursday, and works entirely at home on Wednesdays. So we can be a little footloose on Tuesday nites. We stayed close to home tonight and went to downtown… Continue reading Lake Oswego, OR – Five Spice Seafood & Wine Bar
