Arguably, in many people’s opinions, Portland’s Le Pigeon is one of the finest restaurants around. When the chef decided to open outlet # 2, ‘son of Le Pigeon” he called on his culinary skill to make a downsized, casual version, “Little Bird Bistro,” across from the US Bank Tower in… Continue reading Portland, OR – Little Bird, Son of Le Pigeon

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 – The Crab Bowl
Finding a good burger is always a treat; finding one in the most unlikely of locations is a double delight! Saturday Mrs. BurgerDogBoy and I were out on some of the last minute holiday rounds; stop at a thrift store for ugly sweaters for the Yelp party (SCORE!), Target, and then scooting… Continue reading Portland, OR – The Crab Bowl
Portland, OR – Stepping Stone Cafe
“……eyeeeeeeeeeee’m not your stepping stone….” (remember this Monkees hit? no? punk kid). Anyway, I’m not your stepping stone, but neither is the Stepping Stone my choice for a burger. The place gained a bit of notoriety last year, when that slob of a television host, Adam Richman, showed up to down some “mancakes.” … Continue reading Portland, OR – Stepping Stone Cafe
Portland, OR – Renner’s Grill Experiments on Us
Mrs. BurgerDogBoy and I were invited by the affable owner of Renner’s, in Multnomah Village, to stop by and do a taste test on some new food he’s playing with. No, it wasn’t a “blind” taste test, but I can tell you honestly, one of those came later in the night. (Inside joke). Marshall was… Continue reading Portland, OR – Renner’s Grill Experiments on Us
Portland, OR – Return to the Original Dinerant
Returned to The Original in downtown Portland, was last there about sixteen months ago. Been a few changes on the menu, some of the more innovative dishes appear to have vanished; I guess that’s not so hard to understand, a lot of online reviews kind of panned those efforts, but I don’t know why.… Continue reading Portland, OR – Return to the Original Dinerant
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?
Beaverton, OR – Canyon Grill
“Voted Best Burgers in Town!” the sign outside says. Doesn’t say by whom, or what town. I’ve driven by this place a million times, on Canyon Rd, or “Car Dealer Row”, or more appropriately these days, “Empty Car Dealer Buildings Row”, as quite a few are in the wind these days. I first spotted the… Continue reading Beaverton, OR – Canyon Grill
Portland, OR – A Saturday Satiated/Heavenly Cheese
Saturday was a “way too much” food day for the Burgerdogboy family, due to relatives being in town. I wasn’t able to document it all, a general ‘walking food coma’ overtook me at some point. Problem with eating so much yesterday, is I have to still deal with what’s on the plate for us today! … Continue reading Portland, OR – A Saturday Satiated/Heavenly Cheese
North Plains, OR – Rogue Brew Pub and Eatery
In the midst of elephant garlic territory (you missed the festival last week, btw), in the center of town….ok, in the center of the one block of town, sits the Rogue Brew Pub and Eatery, which i don’t believe is any relation to the Rogue Ales brewer type guys. Tho they do serve those quaffs.… Continue reading North Plains, OR – Rogue Brew Pub and Eatery
