Our friends from Brenalan Farm dropped off our lamb order yesterday. We have 25 pounds of chops, stew meat, ground, and various awful things. Ooops, you know I meant “offal.” Wish we had a dog. I have not been much of a lamb eater in this lifetime, unless it came in a giro, gyro,… Continue reading Mary Had a Little Lamb (Until Y’day)

Trader Joe’s – Fully Cooked Beef Roast
I love that Trader Joe’s does so much R/D work to bring new products to the public. Wandering around a store the other day, I found their 1# “Fully Cooked and Seasoned Organic Beef Sirloin Roast,” and was eager to try it. At $8.99 for one pound, it’s a little spendy, but most things… Continue reading Trader Joe’s – Fully Cooked Beef Roast
Portland, OR – Golden Horse Seafood
What? BurgerDogBoy writing about Chinese food? You bet. A secret you don’t know – I lived in China for 8 years, loved every moment of it, and even managed to find a burger or two of unknown origin there from time to time, which I shared with my trusty sidekick, Chinese pop superstar Kayoumin.… Continue reading Portland, OR – Golden Horse Seafood
Portland, OR – Lotus Card Room
I have written a more extensive review of the Lotus Card Room previously, this post is just an update on a couple more items from their happy hour menu. Mrs. BDB and I were in Pioneer Courthouse Square (Portland’s Living Room!) for the 26th annual giant Christmas Tree lighting ceremony, on black Friday. Generally, the… Continue reading Portland, OR – Lotus Card Room
Portland, OR – Golden Touch Family Restaurant
Mrs. BDB wanted lunch, out, on a weekday, always delighted when that happens. We wanted to stay close to home, but go to someplace “new.” We drive by the Golden Touch most every day, but had never stopped in. It’s an obvious throwback to old time diner days, the exterior looks like it may… Continue reading Portland, OR – Golden Touch Family Restaurant
Burbank, CA – Chili John’s
When the hot dog meister of Portland Domo Dog Guy tells me “you gotta try this place,” I’m always gonna endeavor to get to to the location he named, pronto-like. But there was no hurry in the case of Chili John’s, as it has been operating continuously since 1900. Guess they are around to stay.… Continue reading Burbank, CA – Chili John’s
Green Acres, Oregon – Home Cooked Meal from the Farm
We invited ourselves down to see some old friends of mine, who are living the ‘Green Acres” life on a small working farm near Newport, Oregon. I’ve know the man for longer than Mrs. BurgerDogBoy has been on this planet, and while we have become good electronic friends of late, until recently, I had… Continue reading Green Acres, Oregon – Home Cooked Meal from the Farm
First Thursday at Slinde Nelson, Attorneys at Law
Slinde Nelson, a law firm located in Old Town, Portland, might seem like an odd choice to enjoy the fruits of local artists for a First Thursday outing. Turns out, the folks at Slinde Nelson are big supporters of the local art scene, and have been participating in this monthly event for a number of… Continue reading First Thursday at Slinde Nelson, Attorneys at Law
Home Cookin’ – Ham & Cheese Sammie
As previously stated on this broadcast, last night Mrs BDB picked up an olive/rosemary loaf of bread for me at Petite Provence on Alberta Street. Besides being a total glutton for gluten, being in a bakery like this evokes my memory bells, of when I lived in Paris and wandered the streets for hour after… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Ham & Cheese Sammie
Portland, OR – Food Cart Grazing at “Last Thursday”
Despite what locals think, Portland isn’t really an innovation town; what it is good at tho, is taking one small concept and replicating it a hundred times with different names, and exploiting that situation. Kind of like Taco Bell. Portland takes the same old ingredients, mixes them up, relabels their effort, and sells it as… Continue reading Portland, OR – Food Cart Grazing at “Last Thursday”
