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 – Pizzicato (local chain)
I often wonder what a food entrepreneur is thinking when he/she puts the word “Gourmet” in their name? What does it mean to most people, anyway? According to the Wikidictionary, “gourmet” means “fine”, which is pretty far afield from its etymological root. The dictionary goes on to say “Gourmet has become somewhat debased by marketing usage,… Continue reading Portland, OR – Pizzicato (local chain)
Portland, OR – Hamburger Mary’s
HM’s is a smallish ‘national’ chain, been around for quite awhile, not sure really where they started, and couldn’t get any information from their headquarters home page, as my computer says “this site may be the home of malware.” Well, we don’t want that, do we? A bar/restaurant targeted towards a gay audience, HM’s… Continue reading Portland, OR – Hamburger Mary’s
Nationwide – Wendy’s “Baconator”
I rarely stop by a Wendy’s unless they have a new product I want to try; most recent times I was in, until the other day, was to check out their Black and Blue Burger, and their Spicy Asian bits. In reviewing my old posts, I see that I have already tried the Baconator, but… Continue reading Nationwide – Wendy’s “Baconator”
Portland, OR – Masu
Mrs. BurgerDogBoy and I found ourselves downtown Portland on Saturday, she had a brief appointment near the end of the day, and I told her I would wait for her at the Virginia Cafe on 10th. Mrs. BDB and I have enjoyed the start of a bender or two at the Virginia, but that was… Continue reading Portland, OR – Masu
Portland Chef Micah Camden – Genius or Madman?
I was pretty high on this guy, leaning towards the “genius” moniker, after my visit to his Yakuza Sushi Bar, where, oddly enough, I had one of the most beautiful burgers in Portland. Plus anybody that builds a restaurant that pleases both Mrs. BurgerDogBoy and I at the same time (she is a sushi… Continue reading Portland Chef Micah Camden – Genius or Madman?
The Fruits of My Condiment Garden
Fall, and that means harvest time. If you would have told me five years ago that I become the urbane gardener, I would have given you the raspberry – and not the growing kind. But I have, and I take great joy in it. We’ve been plucking and eating all manner of things throughout… Continue reading The Fruits of My Condiment Garden
Nationwide – KFC Extra Crispy Strips
While Mrs. BDB eschews my burger passion most of the time, she has her own, and it’s always fried chicken, with KFC having a slight edge for her, mainly because of their numerous locations, and a weakness for the childhood memories their mashed potatoes evoke. Now if they would just add Popeye’s red beans (I… Continue reading Nationwide – KFC Extra Crispy Strips
