Well, you know I think chicken fried steak qualifies as a “burger,” if you’ve read my posts before. When my friend Jay suggested we brunch here today, I (as always) perused their menu online ahead of time, and knew I would have a hard time deciding between their scrumptious sounding breakfast entrees, or a burger.… Continue reading Portland, OR – Country Cat Dinnerhouse

Portland, OR – Big A@#$#$#$ Sandwiches
Headed out to this new cart, offering a bevy of Big A@(#$#@)$ Sandwiches. Spoiler alert for this post: TASTY TASTY TASTY. If I were at the Billy Goat in Chicago, they’d say “no coke, pepsi”, and today at B.A. it was “no ham, roast beef”, and “no bechamel, cheddar cheese.” I was there post their… Continue reading Portland, OR – Big A@#$#$#$ Sandwiches
Portland, OR – O’Connor’s (Multnomah Village)
O’Connors has been around for 75 years, in some form, fashion, or location. The current incarnation is in cute and quirky Multnomah Village, a neighborhood strip of chops and cafes not far from our domicile. It was late afternoon and Mrs. BDB and I were feeling a might peckish, but were not predisposed for any… Continue reading Portland, OR – O’Connor’s (Multnomah Village)
Salton City, CA – Travertine Sports Bar & Grill
A review on Yelp said this place was “better than it deserved to be”, and although I am not exactly sure what that means (I think it is a compliment), this place is a big surprise for where it is located. The Salton Sea isn’t exactly a dining (or anything ) destination these days, but… Continue reading Salton City, CA – Travertine Sports Bar & Grill
Where 7-Eleven Sandwiches Come From
For as great a food town as Portland is, when it comes to middle of the night dining…Portland comes up very short. There’s a couple of Denny’s, and one or two taverns with bar menus…..we don’t even have a truck stop unless you’re willing to drive a half hour or so. So middle of the… Continue reading Where 7-Eleven Sandwiches Come From
Random Shots
Some random things along the way on the recent burger/pizza tour. Following a truck in South Dakota. The Corn Palace, each year a new design. Amazing. One off dining room set, seen in a junk shop in rural Washington, creatures from the movie “Alien”, sure to scare the kids, but the price is sure to… Continue reading Random Shots
That Mesa, It’s a Real Butte!
I am an hour east of Butte, and exit on Hwy 287, gas and coffee stop, accomplish my business, and start back to I-90. Just before entering the westbound ramp, I spy the Wheat Montana Bakery and Deli on the other side of the interstate and stop to check it out. The Folkvord family has… Continue reading That Mesa, It’s a Real Butte!
Airway Heights, WA – Buckhorn Inn
Dinner and dancing? Knotty pine walls and timber rafters? Dead animals on the wall? Be still my beating heart! It was “lunch” time, and I was rolling west out of Spokane on US Hwy 2, I love the old highways, and have had some memorable trips on Rtes 66, 20, 12, 61, and many more.… Continue reading Airway Heights, WA – Buckhorn Inn
St. Paul, MN – Cecil’s Deli
What’s this BurgerDogBoy, a blip about a regular old sandwich? Well, you know my philosophy, if it’s meat between bread, it’s a burger in disguise! Cecil’s has been around a half-century or so in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul. I probably first walked in there 35 years ago, and it hasn’t changed, thank… Continue reading St. Paul, MN – Cecil’s Deli
Tomah, WI – Culvers for Cheese Curds
I’ve written about Tomah before (where the “I” divides!) and also about Culver’s, home of the Butter Burger. But what if you just want a small plate, can Culver’s fit the bill? Hell yes, check out their deep fried real Wisconsin Cheese Curds. Can’t beat it for a fast, hot, healthy (cough) snack. I love… Continue reading Tomah, WI – Culvers for Cheese Curds
