Picked these up on my sausage fest at Sheridan Fruit Company in Portland. I’m not one to usually go for poultry-based sausages, but I do like the Buffalo flavor (except I don’t eat wings), and I love blue cheese. I thought those two things might prevail in these tubular delights. The one advantage to poultry… Continue reading Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Sausage

Portland, OR – Soi9
We were invited to Soi9 last night, a Thai outlet on W Burnside. It’s crammed into a triangular shaped space, which is interesting, and with a decor that is aesthetically gentle. I don’t care much for Thai food, in the Americanized-style, just as I don’t care for Chinese cuisine of the same ilk. Spoiled… Continue reading Portland, OR – Soi9
Portland, OR – Serratto
Been here before, at the end of an overindulgent day, but just noshed on snacks outside, hadn’t been in. Was wasting time before an appointment today, thought I would have lunch, didn’t really have a burger in mind, and after looking at the menu, asked for the Painted Hills beef French Dip. Oops – said… Continue reading Portland, OR – Serratto
Portland, OR – Cara Amico / Delivered Dish
Rang up (ok, logged on) to Delivered Dish tonight for a change of pace. We use them quite often, really, I’ve never had a bad experience with them. They’ve always showed up on time, and the delivery people are pretty courteous. Delivery fees are apparently set by the individual restaurants and can range for… Continue reading Portland, OR – Cara Amico / Delivered Dish
Portland, Or – Dragonfish Asian Cafe
Located on the ground floor of theParamount Hotel, across the street from Director’s Park in downtown Portland, Dragonfish is a mash-up of the cuisines of various Asian countries, and sushi, with a sprinkle of American fusion added. I’ve been here several times, even tho I am not a big sushi fan, it’s… Continue reading Portland, Or – Dragonfish Asian Cafe
Portland, OR – Spice of Africa Cooking Class
Mrs. BurgerDogBoy treated me (us) to a cooking class in Portland, recently, held at Whole Foods – Fremont, conducted by local cultural ambassadors, Spice of Africa. This was a birthday present for me, and what a grand idea it was. We had pre-selected Kenyan cuisine (one could also choose the foods of Cameroon or Nigeria), and the class… Continue reading Portland, OR – Spice of Africa Cooking Class
Portland, OR – A Slice of New York
Geez, I hate it when there is something “new” and I’ve missed it. Especially if it is “8 months new!” Apparently, when I wasn’t looking a new pizzeria opened inside one of my neighborhood grocery stores, the Thriftway in SW Portland. Called “A Slice of New York,” that’s exactly what they offer, whole pies, slices,… Continue reading Portland, OR – A Slice of New York
Duluth’s Annual Swede Dinner
It’s better than going to the cafeteria at Ikea! An annual holiday tradition at First Lutheran Church, in Duluth, Minnesota, the noel version of a the traditional Swedish dinner features lutefisk, meatballs, salmon, and a variety of sides and authentic breads. A thousand variations of LMS (lutefisk, meatballs, and salmon) is pretty much… Continue reading Duluth’s Annual Swede Dinner
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
