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)

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)
Kenner, LA – Jukebox Cajun Diner (Review)
(From the archives) Ever since the demise of the Humming Bird diner, I continually search for a 24/7 diner in N’awlins I can call “home,” at 3AM. There really doesn’t seem to be an apt replacement, so I tend to “spread the wealth” around, and visit several different places, depending on 1) my location at… Continue reading Kenner, LA – Jukebox Cajun Diner (Review)
Visit Duluth, Everything’s Fine! @Visitduluth
Burgerdogboy’s hometown had a few weather difficulties last week, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t visit! It’s beautiful, it’s the “air conditioned city,” lots of great restaurants like the Pickwick and Grandma’s. Great beaches, rivers, and lakes to recreate on. Get on up to Duluth!
New Orleans, LA (Bucktown) R&O Seafood (Review)
(From the travel archives of Burgerdogboy) Heading out to Bucktown for seafood is a local tradition in the Crescent City; Bucktown is roughly at the end of Canal Street, on Lake Pontchartrain, it used to be the hub of the fishing fleet, and a town where a young “buck” could sew his wild oats, get… Continue reading New Orleans, LA (Bucktown) R&O Seafood (Review)
New Orleans, LA – La Peniche (Review)
(From our travel archives) Snuggled betwixt the Quarter and the Marigny at the intersection of Dauphine and Touro, if one wants to “float their boat” for all night dining, La Peniche (French for “large barge”) can satisfy most of what ails ya. Open 24/7, (other than their own “weekend,” which lasts from Tuesday afternoon til… Continue reading New Orleans, LA – La Peniche (Review)
Houma, LA – Boudreaux & Thibodeaux’s Cajun Diner Review
(From our travel archives) I am embarrassed to say I don’t know the origin of these Cajun nicknames. Actually, they are pretty common surnames in Acadiana, but over the years, they have taken on a comical quality when used as given names, akin to “Sven and Ole” in the Upper Midwest, “Pat & Mike” in… Continue reading Houma, LA – Boudreaux & Thibodeaux’s Cajun Diner Review
