Well, this is a strange review. A non-review. For “The Hummus Stop” at Capitol Hwy and Pomona (across the street from an apparent, established competitor, Baba Fresh) is not open. Oh, they’ve been working on it. Since January, I believe. Neighbors in the strip mall said they hear H.S. would open July 4. Obviously not.… Continue reading Portland, OR – The Hummus Stop

Home Cookin’ – 40 Clove Garlic Chicken
This is an easy to prepare oven roasted chicken dish, that’s a bit different, is very flavorful, and bound to please most eaters. Mrs. BDB and I prepared it last night, I was hoping for a knock-off of Versaille’s Garlic Chicken (Los Angeles), and while this was extremely good, it didn’t come close to the… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – 40 Clove Garlic Chicken
Portland, OR – Bandito Catering
It took a bit of internet detective work to figure out “Bandito Catering” was connected to “Bandito Taco.” The only sign at the event we attended had the Bandito name and logo, but no phone, or URL, so I scoured the internet until I found that the caterer and the taco shop had identical logos.… Continue reading Portland, OR – Bandito Catering
Portland, OR – Le Bistro Sept Onze (Cuisine d’avion)
OK, the title of the post is a joke. The local owner of my neighborhood 7-Eleven has put a couple tables out front, and sez he is now “a bistro.” The ‘cuisine” reference is to the point that 7-Eleven sandwiches, at least in my neighborhood, are made by LSG Sky Chefs, the catering divsion of… Continue reading Portland, OR – Le Bistro Sept Onze (Cuisine d’avion)
Portland, OR – Deschutes Brew Fest / Food Cart Bonanza
Once a year, the little brewer from Bend who could, closes off the street in front of their Pearl area brewpub, and serves up samples of their beers, along side samples of a dozen or so Portland food carts. I have a little bit of an opinion about microbrews….. being a spoiled American occasional beer… Continue reading Portland, OR – Deschutes Brew Fest / Food Cart Bonanza
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
