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, OR – “C Burger”
You see burger? Me see burger. Actually the “C” is for the location, “Couture Ultra Lounge.” The C Burger was such a popular option INSIDE the club, management decided to sell them out of the back of the kitchen to late night clubbers in search of a burger fix, and that proved to be so… Continue reading Portland, OR – “C Burger”
Portland, OR – Tasty n Sons
Portland is big on brunch, and Tasty n Sons aims to satisfy those urges, offering a “brunch only” menu all the time (open 9-3), which is both interesting AND tasty! Brought to us by the fine folks who gave us Toro Bravo, Tasty’s menu is so fascinating to me, I think I could eat there… Continue reading Portland, OR – Tasty n Sons
Portland, OR – Huber’s for Happy Hour
Mrs. BDB and I have started a new family tradition – hump day happy hours. Each Wednesday, we set out to check out one of Portland’s many fabulous happy hours for cheapo food and beverages. Tonight it was Huber’s, which I have written about before. Huber’s Cafe is Portland’s oldest restaurant, opening its doors in… Continue reading Portland, OR – Huber’s for Happy Hour
Portland, OR – Yakuza Lounge
Even BurgerDogBoy and Mrs BDB celebrate anniversaries in traditional ways – dinner, wine, gifts….it’s not ALWAYS about the burger (hic!). As you know, Mrs. BDB loves sushi, so its off to sushi bars on special occasions, and tonight was no exception. We headed for Yakuza Lounge, an intimate dining experience (only 26 seats) in NE… Continue reading Portland, OR – Yakuza Lounge
Steakburger Review, Vancouver, WA
Geez, I love the old highways of America. Been up and down, back and forth most of the classics, like Hwy 61, Rte 66, US 2, and so on. Oregon has US 99, which runs from the Mexican to Canadian border purdy near. In Portland we have two 99’s, one on each side of… Continue reading Steakburger Review, Vancouver, WA
Portland, OR – Violetta Redux
I first visited Violetta’s mobile kitchen in mid January, right after they first opened. Read about that visit here. I was wandering around downtown today just pass the lunch hour, thinking of trying something new, when the bright yellow ‘Etta wagon caught my eye. For those of you who don’t know the story of ‘Etta,… Continue reading Portland, OR – Violetta Redux
Burger King $1 Double Cheeseburger – Marketing vs Reality
So I was wasting time today, and decided to sample the $1 Double Cheeseburger at Burger King, which they tout as “1/4 pound” (with the usual disclaimers) and more meat than McD’s. I’m not sure about the weight thing, tho I guess it could be true, with two 2 ounce patties. They do still slop… Continue reading Burger King $1 Double Cheeseburger – Marketing vs Reality
Home Cookin’ – Texas Dry Rub BBQ Burger
Sometime Saturday, Mrs Burgerdogboy announced she needed ribs this weekend, and I was designated to make them. Now I don’t care for ribs or wings, two of her favorite consumables, but for some reason I have the ability to whip up pretty good batches of either. I am surpised my ribs measure up for her,… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Texas Dry Rub BBQ Burger
Portland, OR – AJs on the Rails
I had been here once before, albeit only for appetizers, which were more than satisfactory. Today it was a convenient location to meet up with Mr Portland Deal-Maker Attorney Extraordinaire, and try out the burgers, which are intermittently touted highly on various online sites. The joint is on Morrison, w/i spitting distance of the Max… Continue reading Portland, OR – AJs on the Rails
